Scholars Reach, Ashton Close, Oadby, Leicester

A rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional turnkey six-bedroom, four en-suite detached family home - set within a mature cul-de-sac in one of Oadby’s most sought-after high-performing school catchments.

Just a 5–8 minute walk to Brocks Hill Primary School, with established progression to Gartree High School and the highly regarded Beauchamp College, the full school journey for each growing child can be completed on foot - a defining advantage for modern family living.

Extending to approximately 2,300 sq ft, this outstanding property on a corner plot has been thoughtfully reconfigured and deeply refurbished and upgraded throughout by a private developer to create a highly adaptable, energy-efficient home.

Ready for immediate occupation, this outstanding home is ideally timed for a move ahead of the next (2026/27) academic school year.

Highlights:

What sets this property apart is its prime location, generous scale and high-quality finish, combined with exceptional flexibility - with both a ground floor suite with adjoining wet room and a naturally defined two-bedroom, two-bathroom annexe-style wing, ideal for multi-generational living, semi-independent use or adaptable work-from-home and lifestyle space.

Layout - Ground floor:

The ground floor begins with an inviting entrance porch, featuring a useful built-in wardrobe for coats, alongside a centrally positioned cloakroom finished with contemporary sanitaryware and brushed gold fittings, adding a subtle yet refined design touch.

At the heart of the home, accessed through decorative double sliding doors, is a bright and light-filled lounge with an attractive bay window overlooking the front garden. This calm and welcoming space, with an optional casual dining nook at the far end, naturally anchors the ground floor.

From here, the home opens into a series of connected, sociable rooms that balance openness with everyday practicality:

The chic kitchen, overlooking the garden terrace and benefitting from a useful integral storage larder, has been arranged as a two-zone working environment. The galley kitchen combines modern appliances - including an in-built upright oven and microwave
with fridge-freezer housing and five-ring gas hob - with kitchen cabinetry, dishwasher space, deep pull-out storage drawers and an integrated wine cooler.

An adjoining preparation area provides additional space for alternative cooking methods, informal snacking, a second full sink, utility use and further appliances.

Designed for real life, this layout allows family members to prepare and cook both independently and together with ease, avoiding congestion while maintaining an organised environment - whether for quick breakfasts during busy school mornings or when hosting larger social occasions where multi-functional cooking zones are valuable.

Conveniently positioned nearby, the separate dining room offers a natural setting for everyday family meals as well as more formal entertaining. Accessed through a glass door off the hallway, it is a bright space with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the front of the property - ideal for larger gatherings.

Flowing from the lounge and kitchen, new French doors open into a light-filled glass garden room, enhancing the sense of space and providing a relaxed, contemporary connection to the terrace and landscaped garden beyond.

Together, the lounge, kitchen, dining areas and garden room create a sequence of informal yet well-defined living spaces - perfect for conversation, quiet moments or simply enjoying time together.

Standout feature: Ground floor suite:

A standout feature of the ground floor is the sixth bedroom suite, accessed via two steps. Overlooking the front of the property, again with floor-to-ceiling windows, this spacious and private area includes an adjoining wet room.

It is ideal for extended family, older relatives or independent teenagers, while also offering excellent lifestyle versatility - easily functioning as a large study, home office, studio or gym with its own shower room.

Distant views:

Ascending the central staircase, the landing offers a distant outlook towards St Peter’s Church, subtly reinforcing the home’s connection to central Oadby and its established surroundings.

Layout -First floor:

The first floor continues the home’s theme of flexibility, with five bedrooms - four of which benefit from private en-suite facilities.

To the right of the landing, up a couple of steps, is the master suite overlooking the cul-de-sac. With integral his-and-hers wardrobes, it also benefits from a private en-suite shower room.

Alongside is a further spacious and light-filled double or twin bedroom overlooking the upper part of Ashton Close. A smaller double bedroom faces the rear garden and beyond - these two rooms share a beautifully tiled family bathroom with a t-shaped shower bath.

Returning to the left of the landing, and with a step up, is the open entrance room -with outlook over the rear gardens - to the two-bedroom wing of the house.

Stand out feature - Annexe -style wing:

This generous annexe-style area comprises two well proportioned separate bedrooms, both with private en-suite facilities with horizontal upper windows.

The huge superking bedroom enjoys elevated views over the street, filled with light and space, and is large enough to function as an independent studio or as a luxurious bedroom suite with dressing and seating areas.

The adjacent double bedroom overlooks the lower corner of the house and quieter rear garden and is ideal for further bedroom use or guest accommodation.

This wing offers exceptional flexibility and is perfectly suited to semi-independent living or as a lifestyle zone incorporating play, music, cinema or office space - all benefitting from abundant natural light and potential.

Garden & Grounds:

Externally, the rear garden is carefully designed across two levels to balance style and practicality. A landscaped lawn, corner paved area for play or BBQ use, mature trees, conifer screening and a rockery create an inviting outdoor environment.

Central steps lead from the lawn to an upgraded porcelain-tiled terrace - ideal for gatherings and entertaining - with direct access back into the garden room.

A garden gate leads around the garage through attractive shrubbery, while a second wooden gate provides convenient front access to the rear garden.

To the front, the property enjoys a generous frontage with driveway parking for multiple vehicles.

The remote-control L-shaped garage, with dual roller door access, offers excellent practicality for storage, hobbies and everyday use.
