The Midlands are essentially central to everything in England: airports, motorways and train stations are easily accessible. For example, the East Midlands airport is only 20 miles away, London is approximately 107 miles away and it is possible to visit the seaside for a day trip! The M1, M69 and M6 maximise the potential for travel by road from this central location. The villages of Thurmaston, Syston, Wanlip and Thurcaston are close by. Situated three miles north of Leicester city centre, Birstall is in the civil parish of Charnwood and due to its proximity to the city, it is considered part of the wider urban area. Following the route of the A6, the centre of the village is off Sibson Road. On the north of the village, the A6 meets the A46 Leicester Western bypass, which continues to Loughborough along the Soar valley. The Grand Union Canal is on the eastern edge of the area, adjacent to Watermead Country Park, which is a series of lakes in the bottom of the Soar valley. The park is a popular destination and has meadow and reed nature reserves, play trails with landmarks, and provides opportunities for walkers and cyclists to link up to the city paths or to wider open countryside along the valley. It is within walking distance from the centre of Birstall village but has large parking facilities too. Leicester City and parish councils have been keen to conserve and reintroduce green belt natural areas for the public to enjoy and there are others within the county. To discover those and find information relating to the services within the area ... would be worth checking out. The original small village of Birstall was identified as ‘Burstalle’ in the 1086 Domesday Book. The name means ‘settlement built on the site of a fortification’. At that time the sixteen acres of meadow land and a mill, were owned by Hugh de Grandmesnil and gradually grew in size, occupied by various settlers until the arrival of the Great Central Railway in 1899, when the area really developed. It continues to be a popular region with the latest addition to the area being Hallam Fields, a development on land to the west of the A6. Today, Birstall appeals to the community through a wide selection of sport, education and leisure amenities. There are an array of shops, supermarkets, restaurants, cafes and parks, with the additional benefits of reaching the city of Leicester by public or private transport. Close by on the northern edge of the village is the Park and Ride bus park. The village is well served by several bus companies including Kinch, Centre bus, Skylink and Arriva Midlands. Birstall has its own library, Post Office – LE4 4JE – and dental and medical practices such as Greengate Medical Centre and Birstall Medical Centre. There are three churches including the parish church which has been on the site since Saxon times. St James the Great was restored in 1869 and enlarged in 1961. The church hall is the building once used as the village school. There are a number of schools in the village; Riverside Primary, Hallam Fields Primary, Highcliffe Primary and Cedars Academy.

The Midlands are essentially central to everything in England: airports, motorways and train stations are easily accessible. For example, the East Midlands airport is only 20 miles away, London is approximately 107 miles away and it is possible to visit the seaside for a day trip! The M1, M69 and M6 maximise the potential for travel by road from this central location. The villages of Thurmaston, Syston, Wanlip and Thurcaston are close by. Situated three miles north of Leicester city centre, Birstall is in the civil parish of Charnwood and due to its proximity to the city, it is considered part of the wider urban area. Following the route of the A6, the centre of the village is off Sibson Road. On the north of the village, the A6 meets the A46 Leicester Western bypass, which continues to Loughborough along the Soar valley. The Grand Union Canal is on the eastern edge of the area, adjacent to Watermead Country Park, which is a series of lakes in the bottom of the Soar valley. The park is a popular destination and has meadow and reed nature reserves, play trails with landmarks, and provides opportunities for walkers and cyclists to link up to the city paths or to wider open countryside along the valley. It is within walking distance from the centre of Birstall village but has large parking facilities too. Leicester City and parish councils have been keen to conserve and reintroduce green belt natural areas for the public to enjoy and there are others within the county. To discover those and find information relating to the services within the area ... would be worth checking out. The original small village of Birstall was identified as ‘Burstalle’ in the 1086 Domesday Book. The name means ‘settlement built on the site of a fortification’. At that time the sixteen acres of meadow land and a mill, were owned by Hugh de Grandmesnil and gradually grew in size, occupied by various settlers until the arrival of the Great Central Railway in 1899, when the area really developed. It continues to be a popular region with the latest addition to the area being Hallam Fields, a development on land to the west of the A6. Today, Birstall appeals to the community through a wide selection of sport, education and leisure amenities. There are an array of shops, supermarkets, restaurants, cafes and parks, with the additional benefits of reaching the city of Leicester by public or private transport. Close by on the northern edge of the village is the Park and Ride bus park. The village is well served by several bus companies including Kinch, Centre bus, Skylink and Arriva Midlands. Birstall has its own library, Post Office – LE4 4JE – and dental and medical practices such as Greengate Medical Centre and Birstall Medical Centre. There are three churches including the parish church which has been on the site since Saxon times. St James the Great was restored in 1869 and enlarged in 1961. The church hall is the building once used as the village school. There are a number of schools in the village; Riverside Primary, Hallam Fields Primary, Highcliffe Primary and Cedars Academy. The Office for Standards in Education - OFSTED – is best researched to provide a comprehensive review of currently rated standards of practice.

‘Contemporary and spacious: a wonderful family home.’ Well maintained and imposing Situated amongst an exclusive development of five properties, this delightful four bedroomed house has one of the largest plots and sits beyond the security provided by a private gated drive. Within walking distance of the bustling village of Stoney Stanton, this spacious property has been styled and decorated by its present owners to create a family home that is contemporary, practical and comfortable. Here you will find generously proportioned rooms in a house of quality, size and style. This is a beautifully positioned detached property in excellent condition, which builds expectations from the first glance and does not fail to fulfil its promise. This attractive house benefits from greatly reduced traffic because of its gated entrance and no through road position. It is presented with a well-manicured front garden and generous drive that leads to the integral double garage. This open aspect, without hedges or fences, is a major feature of the house and highlights the significant width of the property, allowing easy access to the covered front porch entrance. There is ample space for further vehicles on the drive and to add a softer feature to the landscaping, shrubs and border plants have been added to enhance height and define the boundaries. There is a gate on either side, with a path leading to the rear, back garden. This is an imposing property that has been maintained to a high standard and offers a generous configuration of rooms practically designed for modern living: a spacious kitchen dining area, lounge, entrance hall, study, utility room and cloakroom on the ground floor, with four generously proportioned bedrooms- two with en-suite- on the first floor and a family bathroom. The house is in a superb location and will offer its new owners the benefit of a property that fulfils contemporary expectations for a family home. The entrance hall and a warm welcome within As we enter under the open porch at the front of the house, a spacious and welcoming hall forms the dividing space between the kitchen diner and lounge, with doors opening into the downstairs cloakroom and study. The entrance hall reflects the style and decoration of the home throughout. It presents well. A commanding feature is the quarter turn carpeted staircase with a medium oak newel post and white painted balusters leading the eye to further spindles above on the landing. It is a light and airy hall, complete with subtle flushed to the ceiling lighting, fresh white walls and a wooden panelled floor. There are four doors opening from the hall and the first on the right is the lounge. Reception rooms The impressive lounge has been designed to maximise the amount of light to flood into the room: here there are triple aspect windows that look to the front, back and above. This room spans the depth of the house and presents the owner with multiple ways of arranging furniture to sub divide its purpose or simply keep it openly functional. Double sets of bi-folding doors at the furthest end open onto the patio and raised garden, where a pitched skylight provides the third aspect and creates a perfect seating area to enjoy views of the garden in all weathers. The study, complete with integrated desk and storage, is the next room and also has views into the rear garden. It is immediately next door to the cloakroom, fitted with a white toilet and basin. A fantastic space for food and chatter After the undeniable wow factor of the lounge, the kitchen diner offers the same generous proportions and has been well designed to offer a great area that allows others to gather and relax. It is the blue print for a communal ‘easy living’ arrangement that many search for in contemporary homes and it is provided here. The additional bonus of the design is that another set of bi-folding doors open onto the patio and the lounge is a few steps away. This allows the separate rooms to be used for larger scale entertaining, which incorporates the garden and a covered area on the patio: a fantastic feature of the home! The kitchen area is fitted with a generous flow of black, high sheen wall and floor units, contrasting pale floor tiles and dark splash back tiles on three sides plus a further unit that acts as a double sided divider. As described, bi-folding doors are at the dining end and another window overlooks the front drive. The kitchen is fitted with double Lamona ovens, a Blomberg fridge freezer and dishwasher. A utility room immediately next door provides additional storage and space for all laundry needs. It is through the utility room that the garage can be entered, providing secure, easy entry into the house in all weathers. Generous bedrooms If we now double back through the kitchen and re-enter the hall, the carpeted staircase turns up and round, back into the centre of the house and a large landing exposes the arrangement of doors leading to a family bathroom, four bedrooms and two en-suites. Situated at the front of the house, over the garage, the spacious primary suite has a walk-in fitted wardrobe, additional storage space and a separate en-suite, with white fixtures and walk in, tiled shower. Bedroom two could be used as a guest suite as it also has an en-suite and is at the front of the house over the lounge. The remaining two bedrooms are equally, generously proportioned and look to the rear of the house. The family bathroom has a contemporary colour scheme and a bath, giving the room a luxurious feel. This property has four bathing facilities – cloakroom, two en-suites and a family bathroom - similarly fitted to a high specification with hard flooring and contemporary heated towel rails and white sanitary ware. The outside space The private garden features dry stone walling and a raised lawn, retained by wooden sleepers bordering the patio. A garden shed provides storage. There are different types of trees, shrubs and plants to enjoy in this child friendly, secluded space. Additionally, the house has a security system, exterior lighting and has been fitted with solar panels. LOCALITY Stoney Stanton is a village in the Blaby district of the central English Midlands county of Leicestershire. It is only 10 miles from Leicester’s city centre, 5 miles east of Hinckley and 4 miles west of Narborough. In this location, many major road, rail and air links are conveniently accessible. The M1 (junction 20, south, near to Lutterworth and junction 21, north), M6, M42 and M69 maximise the potential for travel by road and the closest airports are in Coventry, Birmingham and The East Midlands Airport, close to Castle Donnington. Operational train stations can be found at Narborough, Hinckley and Leicester, with trains running regularly to London St Pancras International. The bustling village has existed for centuries, being mentioned in the Domesday survey of 1086 as ‘Stantone’ and consisted then of agricultural, meadow and woodland. It later became industrially famous for the valuable stone and gravel quarried from Carey, Clint and Lanes Hills. The pits that remain have been filled with water and provide a haven for wildlife and a water sports and scuba diving centre known as Stoney Cove. This large village continues to appeal to the community through a wide selection of sporting clubs such as golf, cricket, tennis, bowls and football, and an array of education and leisure amenities, including the David Lloyd Leisure Club with swimming pools, Hinckley Leisure Centre and Enderby Leisure Centre with golf club. Locally there is the convenience of such things as a cooperative supermarket but wider afield Fosse Park, offers a retail hub with major high street retailers. There are several local pubs – The Blue Bell Inn, Bull’s Head and Star Inn – shops and restaurants – a fish and chip shop, a separate Indian and Chinese restaurant and takeaway, plus a pizzeria - cafes and parks, with an outdoor gym, children’s playground and skate boarding park. Stoney Stanton benefits by having service and convenience stores: a hardware shop, hairdressers, barbers and beautician. There is a local post office and a public library operates from, within the small St Michael’s shopping area. A medical centre, pharmacy, opticians and dentists are similarly convenient and within walking distance of the village centre. For those seeking the peace and beauty of the countryside, Stoney Stanton has an abundance of nature reserves and bridle paths. The equestrian Witham Villa Stables is three miles away. The parish church of St Michael’s is first recorded in a document dating to 1149 and is one of three places of worship within Stoney Stanton, the others being the Methodist Church on Hinckley Road and the Living Rock evangelical church. The village centre has the oldest buildings in the locality including an eighteenth century Dower House, a bake house and a Victorian Rectory, once the home of Nigel Lawson, a former Chancellor of the Exchequer. Stoney Stanton has a local primary school, the Manorfield C of E Primary School and the secondary school catchment includes Hastings School in Burbage, the John Cleveland College and Lutterworth High School. Private school establishments include Dixie Grammar School, Leicester Grammar School and the Bablake and King Henry VIII School.
