Step inside

38 Stoughton Drive South A Striking Welcome Home Discover the property set back from the broad, tree-lined street behind a red-brick wall with iron railings and gates bordering an in-and-out block-paved driveway. Here you’ll find ample parking for several cars, as well as a triple garage with two doors for both larger and smaller vehicles. The garage also features integrated storage, a utility area with sink and hob, and access via a server room to the rear garden. The exterior’s red-brick walls, slate-grey sloped roof, and gabled windows grant the home a charming yet unassuming air, giving way to the unexpected opulence of the reception hall as you step through a beautifully glazed front entrance. A gorgeous open staircase crafted from Iroko wood draws your attention to the galleried landing and a high ceiling with downlights and a chandelier fitting, while polished ceramic tiles complement the exposed walls and reflect the wonderful light to this dramatic hallway. As you move throughout the home, you’ll appreciate how classic clean lines, neutral paintwork with solid wood accents, and careful attention to lighting all combine to create a bright and inviting atmosphere at every turn. Your Dream Kitchen Passing a handy cloakroom, follow the tiles flowing seamlessly through the walkway into an impressive dining kitchen backing onto the terrace via a series of folding doors. To your left is a spacious casual seating area with a spot for a wall-mounted TV, while the dining table extends from the central island into the middle of the room. Wrapping around the huge, glass-topped island with induction hob and recessed overhead extractor is a range of glossy, ivory handle-free cabinets with inset Siemens appliances. These include two ovens and warming drawers, a microwave and coffee machine. There’s also a hot-and-cold zip tap to the sink and a concealed Liebherr fridge-freezer and Siemens dishwasher. A door from the kitchen leads to a well-equipped utility that can be accessed from the main hall and server room via the garden. Resplendent Reception Rooms The hallway stretches across the home, connecting to three reception rooms left of the kitchen, with the fifth (en suite) double bedroom, a cosy carpeted snug, and a prayer room found to the right. Flanking either side of the hall is a large carpeted living room to the front and a dining room to the rear with folding garden doors, with space for an excellent sized table beneath the pendant lights. However, it’s the sitting room that steals the show thanks to its dual aspect views over the garden, accessed by a multitude of folding doors. Dark wood flooring chimes with the door frames to bring further warmth to this immense socialising space, while a clever mix of lighting adds a dash of modern chic.

Steam, Swim & Gym If you’ve ever dreamed of owning your own private spa or a place to entertain guests whatever the weather, then simply take the stairs beside the utility to arrive in the underground entertainment complex. All the rooms on this floor feature recessed downlights. The first room is a fantastic home gym with a hardwearing carpet and mirrored wall, including a mounted TV point to keep your mind engaged while you’re pumping iron. To your left is an ultra-stylish cinema with three rows of leather seats with cupholders, funky wall detailing, integrated speakers and space for an appropriately sized movie screen. The rest of the basement level is taken up by a spa with a heated swimming pool and stone tiled surround, plus an inset hot tub. Doors lead off to a pump room, a fully tiled sauna, a wet room with dual rainfall showers, and a changing room with shower, basin and loo.

Retreat Upstairs The pared-back neutral décor downstairs continues on the first-floor galleried landing, where a soft cream carpet runs into the master suites occupying both wings. These two palatial principal bedrooms boast Velux and dormer windows, private dressing rooms and en suites with deep freestanding baths and separate walk-in rainfall showers, plus design-conscious basins and loos. Bedroom three lies adjacent to the second master and also comes with Velux windows and an en suite shower room, while the fourth features a skylight and colourful integrated wardrobes. The fully tiled family bathroom echoes the spa theme to the basement level and includes another freestanding bath, with Velux windows above providing a glimpse of the stars.

Step outside 38 Stoughton Drive South

Step Outside A paved terrace edged by steps to the raised lawn hugs the property to the side and rear, offering a pleasant place to sit or lounge with food and drink brought from the kitchen, dining or sitting rooms. Timber fencing encloses a neat lawn trimmed by extensive flower borders and mature trees. Two separate decked areas also offer a lovely view over the whole garden and back to the house. On Your Doorstep Oadby is a small town some three miles from Leicester catering for all your day to day needs. Stoughton Drive South runs between the university’s botanical gardens and Leicester Golf Club, with the readily accessible A6 providing a quick route to the city or down to Market Harborough. Oadby has plenty of supermarkets, pubs and restaurants, with even more choice down the road at Wigston. Several local primary schools are rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted, with the independent Leicester High School for Girls just around the corner. There are many sporting opportunities nearby, including football and rugby clubs, golf courses and riding stables. The Roger Bettles Sports Centre has a large gym, swimming pool with sauna and steam room, and several courts. For outdoors pursuits, you can be roaming the grounds of either Knighton or Victoria Park within a five-minute drive, the latter of which boasts 69 acres of open green space with tennis courts and football pitches, with the De Montfort Hall concert venue and Leicester University just on the other side. Leicester’s London Road railway station will deliver you to London St Pancreas International within 70 minutes, while frequent flyers will make good use of the city’s airport.
