Old Church Street, Aylestone, Leicester

A rare opportunity to purchase a converted former stable situated within the grounds of Aylestone Hall. Offering a blend of original character features and flexible accommodation, the property benefits from gated off-road parking, a detached cabin, dedicated home office, private front and rear gardens, and direct access to the surrounding Hall gardens and nearby Aylestone Meadows Nature Reserve.

The accommodation comprises an entrance hall, WC, home office, kitchen, spacious reception room, three versatile bedrooms, family bathroom and a mezzanine snug area. Character features retained within the property include exposed beams, original fireplaces, parquet flooring and traditional internal doors.

The property enjoys private garden space to both the front and rear. The front garden provides a particularly secluded setting, while the rear garden benefits from recently planted hedging that will create an increasingly private and enclosed outdoor space as it matures. A detached cabin offers useful additional space for home working, hobbies, storage or other ancillary uses.

Situated behind electric gates, the property also benefits from off-road parking and occupies a unique position within the historic Aylestone Hall Estate. Despite its peaceful setting, it remains conveniently located for local amenities, transport links and Leicester city centre.

The property forms part of the former stable buildings serving Aylestone Hall and retains many original features while providing accommodation suited to modern living. It is held on a long lease with approximately 974 years remaining, zero ground-rent, providing long-term security of tenure.

As part of the estate arrangement, electricity costs for shared services, including the electric gates and external lighting, are apportioned between neighbouring properties in accordance with the provisions of the lease.

The property is link-detached, adjoining a council-owned bowls club which operates seasonally for limited hours during the summer months and remains securely closed outside of these times. The rear car park is locked overnight, while the property benefits from its own gated entrance, offering a good degree of privacy and security.

Aylestone Meadows Nature Reserve is within walking distance, offering access to extensive riverside walks, cycle routes and open green space. The combination of historic character, flexible accommodation, private gardens and a highly regarded setting makes this a distinctive property within the local market.

Viewing is recommended to appreciate the accommodation, setting and character features on offer.
