Location - The historic market town of Ashby-de-la-Zouch has origins dating back to Roman times and is most notably recognised for its 15th century castle, once the seat of the Hastings family. Today, Ashby is a thriving and highly regarded community, perfectly positioned on the north side of the A42 dual carriageway. The town offers superb connectivity, with swift links south-west via the M42 to Birmingham and Birmingham International Airport, and north-east to the M1 corridor, providing access to East Midlands cities and Nottingham East Midlands Airport at Castle Donington.
Ashby itself combines rich heritage with excellent amenities, boasting a bustling high street with a mix of national retailers, independent shops, boutiques, and coffee houses, together with supermarkets including M&S Simply Food. The town also benefits from well-regarded schooling, with a choice of five primary schools, Ivanhoe School, and Ashby School with its associated sixth form. For leisure the surrounding National Forest provides countless opportunities for walking, cycling and outdoor pursuits.
Accommodation Details - Ground Floor - The front door opens into an entrance hall with a decorative dado rail, cornice and traditional Minton-style tiled floor, with staircase rising to the first floor. Off to the right of the hallway lies the sitting room, a charming bay-fronted space featuring bespoke fitted cabinetry and a window seat. The hallway continues through to the rear where a generous kitchen/dining room creates the heart of the home. This beautifully presented open-plan space features an island unit, range recess and a wood-burning stove set within a period fireplace. Rooflights flood the room with natural light, while French doors open directly onto the garden, providing a lovely connection between indoors and out. Finally on the ground floor, a practical utility room includes a side window and work surface with appliance space beneath and a door through to the cloakroom WC.
Upper Floors - On the first floor, the landing gives access to the master bedroom at the front, enjoying the large bay window. Bedroom two is a comfortable double set to the middle, while bedroom three lies to the rear overlooking the garden. The bathroom is tastefully styled with a claw-foot bath, shower over, vanity wash basin and WC.
A further staircase rises to the second floor, where the loft has been transformed currently into a bedroom and is used as a superb principal suite. This bright and inviting room features exposed beams, twin roof windows and built-in storage, together with access to a stylish shower room. (Buyers should note that this loft roof does not have building regulations and it is very unlikely it would be granted retrospectively).
Outside - Externally, the property stands behind a driveway providing off-road parking. To the rear, a neatly landscaped garden offers a lawn, paved seating areas including a pergola, raised planters and a timber garden store, all enclosed to create a private and tranquil setting.
