Measham Road, Ashby-de-la-Zouch

A unique detached former lodge to the prestigious Rotherwood House, occupying a generous plot of approximately 0.25 acres within one of Ashby-de-la-Zouch’s most sought-after residential locations. Steeped in character yet thoughtfully reimagined for modern family living, this exceptional single-storey home extends to approximately 1,684 sq ft and offers beautifully balanced accommodation, blending elegant reception rooms with impressive open-plan living spaces.

Beyond the electrically operated gates, a sweeping driveway creates an immediate sense of arrival, leading to a substantial triple garage, extensive parking and beautifully maintained gardens that wrap around the property, providing a wonderful setting for both entertaining and everyday life.

At the heart of the home is a superb open-plan kitchen, breakfast and living area, designed as a sociable space where family and friends naturally come together. Flooded with natural light, it flows effortlessly into the adjoining sun room, where bi-fold doors open onto the sun terrace and established gardens, creating a seamless connection between inside and out during the warmer months.

Leading off is a lobby and a useful guest cloakroom.

For quieter occasions, the elegant sitting room offers a welcoming retreat with views across the lane to the fields, the room is centred around an attractive feature fireplace with a beamed mantel carved with the famous words of W. B. Yeats: "And pluck till time and times are done, The silver apples of the moon, The golden apples of the sun."

The separate dining room, with its feature fireplace, provides the perfect setting for formal entertaining or family celebrations and is generously proportioned to accommodate an additional seating area if desired.

The bedroom accommodation is equally impressive. The principal suite enjoys its own en-suite shower room, while the second bedroom also benefits from en-suite facilities. Bedrooms three and four are served by a stylish Jack and Jill shower room, with one currently arranged as a home office, offering excellent flexibility for modern lifestyles.

Outside, the lodge is approached via a shared driveway with Rotherwood House. The gardens are a particular highlight, with the plot extending to approximately 0.25 acres. Predominantly laid to lawn, they are complemented by generous seating areas and a sun terrace, providing the ideal setting for alfresco dining, relaxing or entertaining throughout the year.

Situated within walking distance of Willesley Park Golf Club and just moments from Ashby-de-la-Zouch’s thriving town centre, the property enjoys the perfect balance of tranquillity and convenience. Ashby-de-la-Zouch offers an excellent range of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and supermarkets, together with highly regarded schools, whilst the nearby A42, M42 and M1 provide superb commuter links to Birmingham, Leicester, Nottingham and East Midlands Airport.

A rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive home of considerable character in an established and highly desirable setting, offering generous accommodation and an outstanding lifestyle appeal.
