Property description
* An INDIVIDUAL and MOST IMPRESSIVE FOUR-BEDROOM CHARACTER RESIDENCE with INTERNAL FLOOR SPACE (including ANNEXE) extending to over 2,400 sq.feet. Constructed in 1922, this charming traditional family home has been tastefully and sympathetically modernised to the highest standard by the present owners, retaining much of the original character, and is beautifully decorated and stylishly improved throughout. The separate self-contained annexe extends to approximately 450 sq. ft. and has been adapted to include an office for someone working from home, but could easily be converted to provide accommodation for a dependent relative, for example. The superb property is set back from the main road behind an extensive tarmac driveway offering off-road parking for up to seven cars including a caravan or motorhome, and occupies an enviable elevated position enjoying stunning rear views overlooking the surrounding countryside. The extensive lawned rear garden benefits from a paved patio area with a brick-built pizza oven - ideal for entertaining friends and family. The boarded loft space offers potential to extend, adding an extra bedroom (subject to the relevant permissions being granted). We anticipate a great deal of interest in this distinctive property, and respectfully suggest viewing at your earliest convenience.
THE LOCATION
The property lies just off the A511 Ashby to Burton Road. The nearby ancient, historic market town of Ashby (with its famous 15th century castle) almost certainly dates back to Roman times. Later, in the early 19th century, it became a spa town. Many of the Georgian-style buildings that you now see were built to accommodate visitors to the Baths. Today, Ashby de la Zouch is a thriving and bustling town within the National Forest and enjoys a wide range of good shops, schools, pubs, churches and local amenities. The nearby M42 motorway gives easy access to the M1, M5 and M6 and many other Midland towns and cities. The town is also convenient for the Nottingham East Midlands airport.
