Description

Sandiacres presents one of Leicestershire's most exceptional residential offerings. Occupying approximately 3.5 acres of mature private grounds, this remarkable estate combines space, privacy and extraordinary potential within one of the county's most sought after locations.

Set behind a private driveway and surrounded by established trees, expansive gardens and enclosed paddocks, Sandiacres offers a lifestyle seldom found so close to Leicester city centre. Whether your ambition is to create an impressive contemporary residence, an elegant country home or transform the existing dwelling into a bespoke family home, the possibilities are truly exceptional.

The property benefits from full planning permission for the demolition of the existing dwelling and the construction of a magnificent replacement residence extending to over 12,000 sq ft. Having already secured planning consent, the most significant stage of the process has been completed, allowing the next owner to move forward with confidence or explore amendments to suit their own vision, subject to the necessary planning approvals.

The existing residence has already been stripped back in preparation for an extensive transformation, providing a valuable head start for purchasers wishing to undertake a comprehensive refurbishment or redevelopment.

The estate extends to approximately 3.5 acres, offering expansive lawns, mature trees, enclosed paddocks and a wonderful sense of privacy. The grounds provide endless possibilities for formal landscaping, leisure facilities, equestrian pursuits, outdoor entertaining or simply enjoying the peace and seclusion that an estate of this calibre affords.

Adding further versatility are the converted former stables, complete with independent water, electricity and gas supplies. These adaptable buildings provide excellent ancillary accommodation and are ideally suited as home offices, creative studios, workshops, consulting rooms, fitness or wellness spaces, subject to any necessary consents.

Large private estates with this combination of acreage, flexibility and planning potential rarely become available, particularly within such an established residential location.

Location

Glenfield has long been regarded as one of Leicestershire's most desirable residential locations, perfectly balancing village charm with excellent connectivity. The area offers an excellent range of cafés, restaurants, supermarkets, sports clubs and everyday amenities, whilst nearby Bradgate Park and Charnwood Forest provide some of the county's most beautiful countryside for walking, cycling and outdoor recreation.

Excellent transport links via the A46, A50, M1 and M69 provide easy access across the Midlands, while Leicester Railway Station offers direct services to London St Pancras. The internationally renowned Glenfield Hospital, recognised for its specialist cardiac and respiratory services, is located just a short distance away, together with a wide selection of highly regarded local primary and secondary schools.

A Rare Opportunity

Properties of this nature are exceptionally scarce.

Combining approximately 3.5 acres of private grounds, approved planning permission for a landmark residence, versatile ancillary accommodation, enclosed paddocks and an outstanding location, Sandiacres offers an extraordinary opportunity to create one of Leicestershire's finest private homes.

For those seeking a home that is entirely individual, with the space, privacy and freedom to create something truly remarkable, Sandiacres provides an unrivalled foundation.
