Set proudly on the quiet cul-de-sac of Brocks Hill Close, this four-bedroom detached house is a rare offering: built in 1960 and coming to the market for the first time since 1963. Held by the same family for over six decades, it carries the quiet assurance and integrity of a house that has been carefully lived in rather than frequently traded. The architecture is characteristic of its era, with balanced proportions and a sense of solidity that speaks to mid-century domestic design. There is a clarity to the house’s form and an evident generosity to its internal volumes, offering an excellent framework for sensitive restoration or thoughtful re-interpretation. Original details, shaped by time rather than fashion, contribute to the house’s understated character and provide a compelling starting point for a new chapter.

Detached and well positioned within its plot, the house enjoys a sense of privacy and permanence that is increasingly hard to find. Its long ownership has allowed both house and garden to mature together, creating a settled and coherent whole. This is a property that rewards considered attention, an opportunity to engage with a well-built 1960s home and shape its future with the same care that has defined its past.

The approach is defined by a wide in-and-out driveway, providing generous off-street parking and access to a detached double garage. A covered entrance porch opens into a welcoming central hall, from which the ground-floor accommodation is arranged with a pleasing sense of balance and clarity. To the left, a bright and well-proportioned living room is positioned to take full advantage of its garden aspect. A centrally placed gas fireplace forms a natural focal point, while large double-glazed windows to the front admit an abundance of natural light. Sliding glazed doors to the rear open directly onto the garden, creating a strong visual and physical connection between inside and out. A second reception room sits to the right of the hall, offering flexibility as a dining room, study or snug, and is complemented by a conveniently located ground-floor W.C. To the rear of the plan, the breakfast kitchen is fitted with a range of eye- and base-level cabinetry and provides space for all necessary appliances. A separate utility room extends the practical accommodation, with a uPVC door opening directly onto the rear garden.

Upstairs, a wide and naturally lit landing gives access to four bedrooms and a three-piece family bathroom. The principal bedroom occupies the front of the house and benefits from fitted wardrobes. Two further double bedrooms are comfortably proportioned, while the fourth bedroom lends itself equally well as a single bedroom or dedicated study. The loft is reported to be insulated and part-boarded, offering further potential for reconfiguration or extension, subject to the usual consents.

Outside, the house sits within a notably generous and beautifully established plot. The wraparound rear garden is a standout feature, with mature trees, raised borders and well-considered planting creating a sense of seclusion and year-round interest. A large paved terrace provides space for outdoor dining and entertaining, flowing into an expanse of lawn. The garden also affords direct access to the double garage, which is well equipped and sensibly positioned.

Set within a quiet and highly regarded cul-de-sac, the house is surrounded by properties that have been remodelled and extended over time, underlining the scope and precedent for transformation. This is a rare chance to secure a substantial 1960s home in one of Oadby’s most sought-after residential addresses and to curate a house of lasting quality, tailored for contemporary living.

High levels of interest are anticipated.
