The rooms generally have an excellent aspect over their adjacent gardens. The property stands within very attractive grounds, with lawned areas and mature borders. Floor plans are available upon request.
Location
The Beeches lies within an elegant suburban setting on Manor Road, within the premier residential enclave of Knighton and the Oadby Hill Top and Meadowcourt Conservation Area. The area generally is characterised by similar type properties that date back to the early 1900s, to produce a quite unique environment that overlook the University of Leicester's running track and sports facilities. Boutique retail facilities are available nearby on Francis Street and Allandale Road, whilst more general shopping is available in Oadby, and Leicester city centre is only 4 miles away to the north via London Road. Road communications are excellent, the outer ring road network is located close by to the racecourse, facilitating access to the outer environs of Leicester and the M1 / M69 motorway junction, where the nationally acclaimed Fosse Retail Park is also located.

Planning
The Beeches lies within the Oadby Hill Top and Meadowcourt Conservation Area, and whilst originally a private dwelling, it has been used for many years to provide student accommodation, which is the authorised use. Subject to planning consent, a change of use to a single family dwelling is likely to be the most acceptable alternative, with the retention of the gardens in their current state, as outlined on the overleaf site plan. Interested parties are advised to discuss options with the agent in the first instance, or to speak with the Local Planning Authority, Oadby and Wigston Borough Council on 0116 288 8961.
