Hall Gardens, Great Glen, LE8

The Beeches is a beautifully presented detached home, set on an exclusive private development of just five properties in the sought-after village of Great Glen. Ideally positioned midway between Market Harborough and Leicester, it’s also within walking distance of Leicester Grammar School and Stoneygate School. Having been comprehensively refurbished to an exceptional standard, The Beeches occupies a mature plot approaching 0.55 acres (STM), offering both space and privacy in a peaceful setting.

An open storm porch leads into a welcoming hallway with natural limestone flooring and a dog-leg staircase rising to the first floor. The ground floor offers flexible living space, perfect for both families and entertaining. A study fitted with bespoke classic cabinetry provides an ideal workspace, while the dual-aspect sitting room is beautifully proportioned, with an exposed brick chimney breast and open fireplace providing a charming focal point. This space flows naturally into the dining area and a quiet reading nook, which could easily be adapted into a playroom or second study if desired. Leading off the dining area is a generous garden room with uninterrupted views of the garden, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor spaces.

The kitchen is fitted with bespoke Lewis & Hill in-frame cabinetry with quartz worktops, complemented by a range of premium integrated appliances and an Ilve range cooker—available by separate negotiation. A spacious utility room features a walk-in pantry, also fitted with matching cabinetry, while a ground floor cloakroom completes the layout.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is a generous, calming space, complete with a walk-in wardrobe and a beautifully refitted ensuite bathroom. The three further bedrooms are all well-proportioned and served by a stylishly refitted shower room. The entire property is tastefully decorated in soft neutral tones, creating a serene and elegant atmosphere throughout.

Outside, the house sits on a wonderful plot of approximately 0.55 acres (STM), with a large paved entertaining terrace leading down to expansive lawns, a natural pond, and a pergola fitted with plumbing and electrics ready for an outdoor kitchen. Pathways wind through the gardens to a secluded wooded area and a kitchen garden with raised beds. In the evenings, discreet accent lighting highlights pathways, architectural planting, and garden features, creating a magical setting after dark.

To the front, a driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to a detached double garage with electric roller doors.
