Description
A well-presented semi-detached bungalow set within the highly regarded Prior Park over-55s development in this desirable market town of Ashby. Offered to the market with no upward chain. Enjoying a peaceful position with attractive communal gardens, the property provides easy, single-level living with a modern kitchen, spacious living room opening to the rear garden area, two bedrooms and a refitted shower room. Residents benefit from on-site warden assistance, pull-cord support system, communal lounges, a function room, activity programme and well-maintained landscaped grounds as part of the service charge arrangement.
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 - Entering through the front door, you step into a central hall which gives access to all of the accommodation. Immediately to the right is bedroom two, a front-facing room ideal as a guest bedroom, study or hobby room. Continuing along the hallway, bedroom one sits on the left and provides a well-proportioned double room with fitted overhead cupboards and a window to the front elevation.
Further along the hall on the right-hand side is the shower room, fitted with a large glazed shower enclosure, vanity unit with inset basin, low-level WC and chrome heated towel rail. At the end of the hallway a door opens into the sitting room, a generous reception space positioned across the rear of the bungalow, with sliding patio doors leading directly out to the rear and communal lawned gardens and a further side window adding extra natural light. From here, a doorway leads through into the kitchen, which is fitted with modern units, ample work surface space, a stainless-steel sink and integrated hob and double oven, together with a rear-facing window enjoying views over the gardens.
Outside - Outside, the sliding doors from the sitting room open onto a paved patio area with level access onto the well-kept communal lawns. The grounds are attractively landscaped with mature planting and are maintained as part of the service charge agreement. Parking for residents and visitors is available within the development.
Prior Park - Communal Facilities - The Prior Park development further benefits from a range of communal facilities including two resident lounges, a function room and a monthly activity programme. Throughout the bungalow there are pull cords linked to a monitoring service, and there is the reassurance of a twenty-four hour on-site warden with manager's accommodation. The service charge also covers maintenance of the communal gardens and grounds, buildings insurance and annual servicing of the gas-fired central heating boiler.
