Exceptional five-bedroom home on over half an acre with lake views in a prime Oadby location...

Tucked away in one of Oadby’s most exclusive cul-de-sacs, this exceptional five-bedroom detached home occupies a generous half-acre plot backing onto a tranquil lake. Immaculately renovated throughout, the property blends striking modern finishes with breathtaking natural surroundings.

The heart of the home is a bespoke Sherwin Hall kitchen with Dekton worktops with a central island and high-end integrated appliances including a wine fridge and ice machine. Stylish Amtico flooring flows through much of the ground floor, complementing the bold cabinetry and sleek worktops. Dual-aspect windows fill the space with natural light, and there's ample room for both cooking and entertaining.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a formal dining room with floor-to-ceiling glazing that opens directly onto the garden, creating a seamless link to the outdoors. The main reception room enjoys similar lake-facing views and connects to a versatile home office/study - ideal for working remotely in peace.

The entrance hall, with feature staircase, sets the tone for the rest of the property and includes a stylish WC and separate snug/lounge area for cosy evenings.

Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms offer a variety of outlooks, with three enjoying uninterrupted lake views. The principal bedroom benefits from a walk-in dressing room. A contemporary family bathroom with bath, a separate shower room, and an additional WC serve this floor.

A second-floor suite provides an ideal guest or teenager’s retreat, with expansive views and potential for additional study or lounge space.

Outside, the beautifully maintained gardens wrap around the home and open onto the lake, offering total privacy and year-round colour. Multiple entertaining terraces, mature borders, and secure fencing make this space both idyllic and practical.
