8 Bed Detached House, Planning Permission, Leicester, LE2 2FQ £1,950,000

The bedroom layout is arranged across the first and second floors. On the first floor there are two principal suites, each with its own dressing area and en-suite — one positioned to the front of the house and the other to the rear. Two further bedrooms are also located on this level, creating an excellent balance between generous principal accommodation and additional family/guest space.

The second floor forms a distinct additional level within the house and comprises a generous living area with kitchenette, creating a versatile informal space. This floor also provides four further bedrooms, one of which benefits from an en-suite bathroom, alongside a separate family bathroom. The arrangement lends itself well to guests, older children or live-in staff, offering independence and flexibility while remaining fully integrated within the main house.

In total, the house provides eight bedrooms.

The grounds extend to approximately 1.2 acres and are approached via a sweeping gravel driveway, providing ample parking and access to the house and outbuildings. The gardens are laid out with a balance of structure and informality, incorporating open lawns, mature trees and established planting, all framed by long views in several directions.

To the rear of the house, a covered loggia formed from the original brick arches of the former dairy provides a sheltered outdoor space of considerable character. Beyond lies a kitchen garden with raised beds, an all-weather tennis court positioned towards the upper part of the grounds, and a sun terrace arranged to take full advantage of the setting. A substantial range of traditional outbuildings provides useful storage and ancillary space, including two store rooms and a dedicated bar area, all fitted with power and lighting.
