Highgrove is a substantial and imposing mansion house that is constructed in a mixture of brickwork and stone mullioned windows under a tile roof. The internal layout provides for a large number of living rooms, together with similar accommodation at first floor that all have an excellent aspect out over the adjacent gardens. To the rear at ground floor level is an additional and attached building, offering the potential for on site garaging / stores or further development / conversion. The property stands within very attractive grounds with lawned areas, mature borders, with the significant feature of the "Secret Garden".
Location
Highgrove lies within an elegant suburban setting at the junction of Stoughton Drive South and Southmeads Road within the premier enclave of Knighton and the Oadby Hill Top and Meadowcourt Conservation Area. The area is characterised by similar type properties that date back to the early 1900s, to produce a quite unique environment. Boutique retail facilities are available nearby on Francis Street and Allandale Road, whilst more general shopping is available in Oadby, 1 mile away to the south. Leicester city centre is only 4 miles away to the north via London Road. Road communications are excellent, with London Road (A6) being one of the main arterial routes into and out of the city to the south, whilst the adjacent ring road provides a direct route down to the M1 / M69 motorway interchange at Fosse Retail Park.

Planning
Highgrove lies within the Oadby Hill Top and Meadowcourt Conservation Area, and whilst originally a private dwelling, has been used for many years to provide student accommodation. Planning advice, that is available on request, has been sought from Oadby and Wigston Borough Council, who have confirmed that in principle, a change of use to a single family dwelling is likely to be the most acceptable use, with the retention of the gardens in their current state.
