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.
