Summary - 5 CARLTON GARDENS GREAT GLEN LEICESTER LE8 9HA
6 bed 3 bath Detached
Six-bedroom residence on an expansive corner plot close to excellent schools and village amenities.
Six double bedrooms and over 3,000 sqft of living space
An impressive six-bedroom detached house offering more than 3,000 sqft of flexible living across three floors. The ground floor provides three large reception rooms, a 25ft lounge with bay window and French doors to the garden, a fitted kitchen with adjoining utility, and a practical entrance hall with guest WC. The principal bedroom includes a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite; a second bedroom also benefits from an en-suite, with four further bedrooms and a modern family bathroom completing the main floors.
The loft conversion creates a large recreational room and a long storage corridor; note head-height falls below 1.5m around the perimeter. Externally the property sits on a very large corner plot with manicured lawns, patio seating and a fitted outdoor bar/kitchen with lighting and power — strong potential for family entertaining. A brick-paved driveway provides space for up to four vehicles and leads to a double garage (access and space subject to vehicle size).
Practical details to consider: the property has a medium flood risk and attracts a very expensive council tax band. The house was built in the early 1990s with later double glazing and has an EPC rating C. While well presented, the layout and some finishes offer scope for updating or reconfiguration to suit a growing family’s needs.
Located close to Great Glen village amenities, reputable independent and state schools, and good transport links to Leicester and Market Harborough, this substantial home is tailored to families seeking space, outdoor living and flexible accommodation in a very affluent area.
