Description
Occupying a truly unique position within the grounds of Aylestone Hall, this coverted stables presents a rare opportunity to acquire a character home in one of Leicester's most distinctive settings.
Originally forming part of the historic Aylestone Hall estate, the property is a former stable conversion situated adjacent to Aylestone Hall, a medieval manor house with origins dating back to the 14th century. Historical records indicate the stable was established in the 1760s and formed part of a working estate comprising stables, loose boxes, harness rooms and farm buildings. The Hall and its grounds were owned by the influential Manners family, Dukes of Rutland, for generations, creating a setting steeped in local history and heritage.
Today, the property offers versatile single-storey accommodation and retains a wealth of original features throughout, including exposed ceiling beams, original fireplaces, parquet flooring and traditional internal doors. The accommodation comprises an entrance hall, dedicated home office, ground floor WC, three versatile bedrooms, bathroom, characterful fitted kitchen, snug mezzanine area and a generous principal reception room that forms the heart of the home.
The property enjoys a remarkable position within a location rich in local heritage, where the principal manor house has been continuously occupied and adapted over many centuries. Despite its historic surroundings and strong connections to Aylestone's rural past, the property remains conveniently situated for modern living. Aylestone Meadows Nature Reserve is just a short walk away, offering extensive open green space, riverside walks and wildlife habitats, whilst the property backs onto the historic Aylestone Hall Gardens park.
