Summary - 14 CHESTNUT DRIVE STRETTON HALL LEICESTER LE2 4QX
5 bed 4 bath Link Detached House
Rare five-bedroom home with grand rooms and generous private gardens.
Grade II* listed, substantial restrictions on alterations
An imposing Grade II* link-detached Victorian home, this manor-style property delivers more than 5,400 sq.ft of formal living across three principal floors plus a large loft. Period features — including original mahogany flooring, high ceilings, decorative coving and a grand octagonal entrance hall — combine with high-spec touches such as a bespoke handmade kitchen and underfloor heating to create a rare blend of heritage and comfort.
Set within around half an acre of formal landscaped gardens, the plot provides private, mature grounds with patios, lawns and fruit trees, plus a gated gravel drive, two garages and plentiful parking. The main accommodation includes five substantial bedrooms, four bathrooms and versatile reception rooms that suit large-family living, entertaining or flexible space such as a home office or guest suite.
Important practical points: the property’s Grade II* listed status preserves historic character but will require listed-building consent for many alterations and may complicate refurbishment. The size and age of the house also imply ongoing maintenance responsibilities. Conversely, the home is offered with limited onward chain, fast local broadband, low crime levels and proximity to several highly regarded schools — factors attractive to families and professional buyers.
This is a distinctive opportunity for a buyer seeking an impressive, historic family home with generous grounds in a very affluent village setting. Those prioritising turn-key, unrestricted renovation should note the listed constraints and the likely maintenance and servicing commitments of a large period property.
