Description

Uppingham Road, Bushby, Leicester LE7
A Grand Residence of Scale, Elegance & Opportunity

Where luxury meets legacy and grandeur greets you at the gates — welcome to a rare jewel set in approximately 1.5 acres on the prestigious Uppingham Road, in the heart of leafy Bushby. Here, timeless architecture, sweeping park-like grounds and endless potential converge to offer a truly unmatched lifestyle opportunity.

Framed by mature trees and approached via an impressive gated in-and-out carriage driveway, this exceptional seven-bedroom home stands proud within grounds that whisper seclusion and serenity. A home of presence, poise and proportions rarely found, it offers a seamless blend of classic elegance and future promise — ideal for the discerning buyer seeking multi-generational living, luxury restoration, or a unique development opportunity (STPP).

From the moment you step into the grand entrance hall, you are greeted by a home that flows with grace and generosity. On the ground floor, multiple living zones create space for both formal entertaining and relaxed family life. Two elegant entrance halls lead to a formal reception room, a refined family lounge, and a tranquil garden room that bathes in natural light through a sweeping curved window — a perfect setting for morning coffee or evening soirees.

The heart of the home, a classic breakfast kitchen, is served by a walk-in pantry and flows naturally into the adjacent dining space, where panoramic views of the garden create a sense of connection to the grounds beyond. A downstairs bathroom, guest cloakroom and an oversized utility room further add to the sense of thoughtful practicality.

Upstairs, the first floor reveals five beautifully appointed bedrooms, two of which boast en-suite bathrooms, including a grand principal suite with private balcony. A dedicated games room offers space for cinema, fitness or studio use, while a sauna and luxurious bathrooms complete the indulgent offering.

Rising again to the second floor, two further bedrooms, a family bathroom and an additional spare room provide even more flexibility – whether for guests, teenagers, or home working.
But it is the grounds that truly elevate this property to something extraordinary. Vast, level and largely lawned, the gardens extend generously to the rear, providing a verdant canvas for landscaped gardens, pool complexes, or future development — subject to planning permission. With such expansive grounds and an existing footprint of over 6,900 sq ft, the potential here is limited only by your imagination.
