Large and luxurious homes coming soon to Leicester

Discerning homebuyers are being invited to register their interest in an exclusive new homes venture in the village of Glenfield, on the edge of Leicester.
Award-winning Redrow is preparing to launch its latest development, The Orchards.
Set in the established, leafy suburb of Glenfield, the intimate development, located off Glenfield Frith Drive, will comprise just 12 large and luxurious detached homes.
Taking inspiration from the architecture of the Arts and Crafts movement, the homes will look traditional from the outside; while inside they will be bright and modern with a superb quality specification.
Pauline Turnbull, sales director for Redrow Homes (Midlands), commented: “We know from the sell-out success of the New Heritage Collection in other areas that there’s a demand for homes that combine the charm and character of ‘period’ properties with the style and convenience of being brand new. We aim to build on that success with our latest venture in Glenfield.
“The New Heritage Collection is already a premium housing range when compared to other new-builds and much of the second hand market, but with these latest homes we’re really raising the bar. The superior quality of the homes means that they’re sure to appeal to even the most discerning of homebuyers.”
The Orchards will offer a choice of four and five-bedroom detached homes.
Traditional craftsmanship and architectural features will be seen to varying degrees in the homes including dropped eaves, projecting plinths, timber or tiled canopies over doors and windows, supported by decorative gallows brackets, and the use of larch lap boarding as a feature.
Inside the homes will be thoroughly modern with open plan layouts that put the kitchen at the heart of family living.
Practical and stylish, those kitchens will boast silestone work surfaces as standard, plus integrated top brand name appliances including oven, microwave and fridge freezer; while floor to ceiling cabinets and extra wide drawers will offer plenty of storage.
Most of the properties will boast not one but two en-suites. Both the en-suites and the family bathrooms will be well equipped with elegant white sanitaryware, ceramic floor and wall tiles, plus quality fixtures and fittings.
Hall School, with its ‘outstanding’ Ofsted rating, is within walking distance of the homes, so the development is sure to be popular with parents of school age children. Plus with easy access to the A46, M1 and M69 it’s an area that’s the ideal base for commuters.
“The combination of the location and the excellent specification means that the homes at Glenfield are certain to be much sought-after,” Pauline added.
“I would encourage anyone who’s looking for a large and luxurious home in the Leicester area to register their interest today so that we can keep them informed of our progress as we work towards releasing the first properties for sale. With just 12 homes available demand is likely to be high and those who act now will have a greater chance of securing their preferred property.”
