A splendid Joseph Goddard design from 1879, this magnificent seven bedroom Victorian Villa on St. Mary's Road in Stoneygate is now available, featuring spacious accommodation and beautifully landscaped grounds, with no onward chain. This truly magnificent property is available on the open market for the first time in a little over 50 years. Designed by Joseph Goddard, constructed in 1879, and named Glan y Wern, this property was home to numerous notable families in the Victorian era including Emily Goddard of Goddard's silver polish. A wonderful and cherished family home in the modern era, the property offers exciting potential for redesign and modernisation, a rare opportunity on this grand scale. The elegance of this home is striking and will surely be retained even if remodelling and renovation is proposed. The imposing Victorian facade gives way to the characterful interior which is adorned by a wealth of period features including original fireplaces and decorative coving to the ceilings. The grandeur is immediately felt upon entering into the reception hall through the quaint front door with transom window above. The accommodation is arranged over three full height storeys; beginning with the ground floor, the principle rooms are positioned off the hall and come in the form of a sitting room, open plan living dining room, and breakfast kitchen. The sitting room lies to the front and is illuminated by the large bay window. The open plan living dining room was created thanks to a rear extension and provides a vast space for families and guests. The room enjoys an ornate fireplace, picture rail, and coving to the ceiling as well as wide sliding doors leading into the garden. The breakfast kitchen, with views over the garden, offers a good sized space with a bespoke AGA cooker. A large pantry, running the length of the room, provides ample space for goods. Beyond the kitchen to the rear, a separate utility is found. A wide range of additional wall and base units provide storage and recesses for appliances while there is a secondary hob and sink incorporated into the worksurface. Rising to the first floor, a bright and airy galleried landing grants access to three bedrooms as well as the staircase which rises again to the second floor. Each of the three bedrooms are generous doubles with plenty of space for large bedroom furniture. The master bedroom enjoys a walk in bay window and decorative coving to the ceiling while the second bedroom offers built in storage and a wash hand basin. The floor is completed by a modern, fully tiled shower room comprising an oversized walk in shower, wash hand basin set in a handleless vanity unit, and WC. A further four bedrooms, again all doubles, are found on the second floor. Both garden view bedrooms offer built in storage while the smaller of the two also offers a wash hand basin. The rooms share use of the shower room which completes this home.The elegance of the interior is matched and perhaps even exceeded by the beautiful grounds which have been so immaculately cared for over the decades. The neat frontage sits behind a low level brick wall which is elevated with well pruned hedging. A driveway offers car standing for vehicles and leads to the front door. A triple garage, separated with two doors to a single and double, provides the ideal space for extra storage. An abundance of plants and shrubbery provide a burst of colour throughout the year and allow the home to seamlessly fit into its leafy surroundings. The large rear garden, with outbuilding, offers a highly private space, landscaped to provide total serenity. The traditional outbuilding houses two store rooms and a WC. A delightful space to entertain, a large slabbed patio for outdoor dining is positioned directly outside the house. Beyond, a balanced mixture of well manicured lawns, mature shrubbery, foliage, and flowers provides the gardens with an array of colour and fragrances. A crazy paved pathway leads the way to the rear of the garden where perfectly sculpted topiary is found. The side and rear boundaries are enclosed by tall brick walls with mature trees and hedging providing privacy all around.PLEASE NOTE: Whilst every care has been taken in preparing these particulars, details have been supplied by the Vendor/Agent/Developer.

Approached via a private, tree-lined drive which passes through the parkland, the house stands in a secluded rural position surrounded by beautiful mature trees.The main house is a striking villa-style property constructed originally for the Hind family, owners of the Swithland slate quarry. It has been in the vendors' family since 1910, with the main house used as a residential care home up to 2008. It is now in need of significant renovation and improvement, but retains many fine period details and features, whilst providing for a variety of future uses, subject to the necessary planning permission.SituationWhetstone Pastures House lies just south of Whetstone, about 7 miles to the south of Leicester City Centre, and within easy reach of the excellent motorway network in the Midlands linking to Rugby, Northampton, Coventry, Nottingham, Derby and Birmingham.Communication links are excellent, Junction 21 of the M1 lies a few miles north, at Leicester, which also provides mainline rail connections to London St Pancras International in a little over an hour. Birmingham and East Midlands Airports are approximately 40 and 33 miles from the property respectively.AccommodationWhetstone Pastures House provides accommodation extending to about 11,372 square feet gross internal area over three floors (with substantial cellars on top of that area), with largely rendered elevations under hipped Swithland slate roofs and stucco chimney stacks. Although the house requires a full programme of renovation, it could be restored to its former glory and offers many fine original features including cornices, sash windows, fireplaces and wooden panelling.The house is entered through a central Doric portico, with slate steps and pedestals which rise to half-glazed double front doors. There is a central hall, which is flanked by four reception rooms, and offers a connecting passage to the former ballroom, with an impressive bay window overlooking the front drive. The rear wing incorporates the former kitchens and domestic offices, with access to the stable courtyard to the east.An early 19th century staircase with double stick balusters and a ramped, scrolled hardwood hand rail rises to the first floor.
