Nestled behind secure gates on the esteemed Stoughton Lane, this impressive five-bedroom country residence spans over 4,500 sq ft across three levels. Lion House is distinguished by its architectural charm and an exceptional opportunity for renovation and expansion. The entrance greets you with a spacious foyer accentuated by underfloor heating beneath classic parquet flooring, setting a welcoming tone.
The heart of the home features an expansive open-plan kitchen and living area, ideal for both entertaining and family life, enhanced by large garden-facing doors that create a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. A dedicated boot room, utility space, cloakroom, and secondary entrance add practical touches without compromising style.
A handsome study, a lounge featuring a fireplace, and a sunlit conservatory offer versatile spaces that can adapt to various needs — from work to relaxation. A private staircase leads up to an extraordinary games room with independent access; this versatile space could easily transform into a cinema, gym, or even guest accommodation — providing significant value for potential buyers.
On the cellar level are two sizable rooms with high ceilings — perfect for conversion into a wine cellar or studio. The integral garage further enhances the property's appeal with potential for transformation into additional living space or accommodation (subject to permissions).
The sleeping quarters are equally impressive. The principal bedroom suite boasts tranquility and elegance with its own ensuite bathroom. Two other bedrooms also feature ensuites while the remaining two are served by a luxurious family bathroom that includes modern fixtures.
Perhaps one of Lion House's standout features is its previous planning approval for a leisure complex, allowing for the addition of a swimming pool and sauna — an opportunity that still holds valuable potential for future developments in line with modern luxurious living.
This property is situated within a highly regarded semi-rural area known for its prestigious schools and easy connectivity to Leicester city centre and beyond. With planning history supporting substantial enhancement options, this residence offers much more than just living space — it invites visionaries to create their own bespoke estate amidst Leicestershire’s picturesque countryside.
