Astley Way, Ashby-de-la-Zouch

Here is a house that really does require viewing to appreciate. Over the years the current owners have extended the home over two floors, moulded the living space creating a modern open plan kitchen layout, plus enlarged en suite and have purchased extra land, in effect doubling the size of the private rear garden. The location is also excellent with a wide range of amenities within walking distance and for the commuter, the M42 is just minutes away.

Embrace the lifestyle that living in the historic market town of Ashby offers, being able to walk into town along the many walks and pathways to a bustling high street filled with coffee shops, boutiques, restaurants and bars is one of its many joys. The famous butchers, Taylors, has queues around the block at the weekends, and who can say no to a pizza and cocktail at Zamani’s or a trip to The Tap at No 76 on an evening. A walk through the Bath Grounds is always pleasant, whatever the time of year; in the Summer the thwack of Willow on Leather can be heard here on Sunday afternoon and is a popular event for a family picnic. All this, more and of course the wonderful historic Ashby de la Zouch Castle. Strategically, Ashby lies in the heart of the National Forest, right in the middle of the country, and is perfectly positioned for the busy commuter, with access via the M42 and M1 to many East and West Midlands towns and cities. Conkers, Moira Furnace and Hicks Lodge provide many leisure pursuits.

The property has a central reception hallway with turning staircase leading off to a part galleried landing above. Arranged around you will find there is a light and bright dual aspect living room with front facing bay window, coving to the ceiling, feature living flame gas fire at the focal point and glazed connecting double doors which take you through into the open plan extended family breakfast kitchen.

The kitchen area has base and wall mounted cabinets wrapping around three sides with complimentary high gloss roll edge counters, there is integral stainless steel gas hob with extractor hood above and eye level oven and grill, fitted breakfast bar, space for washing machine, space for seating area and in the dining area, space for large family dining table where window overlooks the side garden. Laminate flooring runs throughout the room and in through to the adjoining family room which has double glazed window to the rear and double French doors leading outside to the patio area.

The utility room is also extended so has ample base and wall mounted cabinets again with appliance spaces for washing machine and tumble dryer, inset sink, space for fridge freezer and boot room/coat area where door leads out onto rear gardens. Last but not least is the guest WC with close coupled WC, wash hand basin and radiator.

Bedroom one has the benefit of fitted wardrobes running along one wall and has an enlarged en suite which now offers not only a panelled bath with WC and wash hand basin but also separate shower.
