The Croft, Ashby-de-la-Zouch

Tucked away in a desirable cul-de-sac setting and approached via a shared private driveway, this excellent family home occupies a generous plot with a wonderful woodland backdrop. Offering four bedrooms, three reception rooms and two bathrooms, the property provides spacious and versatile accommodation, while the size and position of the plot also offers exciting potential for future enlargement, subject to the necessary planning permissions and building regulations.

A sheltered canopy porch opens into the central reception hallway, where the staircase rises to the first floor and a useful storage cupboard provides excellent everyday practicality. A ground floor cloakroom is conveniently positioned off the hall, fitted with a WC, vanity wash hand basin and useful storage beneath.

Immediately to the right is a particularly useful study, ideal for those working from home but equally suited as a playroom or additional reception space for family buyers. A feature Oriel-style bay window overlooks the front.

The family kitchen is fitted with a good range of white-fronted base and wall-mounted cabinets arranged around three sides, complemented by roll-top work surfaces and a one-and-a-half-bowl porcelain sink with mixer tap. Integrated appliances include a gas hob with extractor hood and a high-level oven and grill, with space and provision for a fridge freezer. Adjacent, the practical utility room provides direct access to the garden and houses the gas-fired central heating boiler. There is further cabinetry, an additional sink with mixer tap and space for a washing machine and other appliances, making this a highly useful working space.

For more formal occasions, the separate dining room overlooks the gardens through a double-glazed window and benefits from a useful under-stair storage cupboard. Ceiling coving and laminate flooring add a touch of traditional character.

The accommodation flows through to the impressive living room, a generous through-reception space with laminate flooring, ceiling coving, a front-facing bay window and French doors opening directly onto the rear garden. The outlook and connection with the garden make this a particularly enjoyable room for family life and entertaining.

There is also considerable scope to reconfigure and enlarge the ground floor. Given the generous plot and existing layout, there is potential to extend the kitchen into the dining room and potentially further out to the side, subject of course to the necessary planning consents and building regulations.

Upstairs, a winding staircase with half landing and rear-facing picture window leads to the first-floor landing, where white panelled doors provide access to the bedrooms and family bathroom.

The principal bedroom is a particularly attractive room, enjoying dual-aspect windows, two double built-in wardrobes and a lovely outlook across the rear gardens towards the woodland beyond. It also benefits from its own private en-suite shower room, fitted with a concealed-cistern WC, vanity wash hand basin and fully tiled shower enclosure with mains shower. The room is partially tiled and provides a comfortable and practical private facility.

Bedroom two is another excellent double bedroom, again benefiting from two double fitted wardrobes and a wonderful elevated view across the rear garden and woodland backdrop. Bedroom three is a further well-proportioned double bedroom with a pleasant garden outlook. Lastly, bedroom four is a versatile room that would make an excellent single bedroom, nursery or home office.

The family bathroom is fitted with a white suite comprising panelled bath, vanity wash hand basin with useful storage, WC and separate fully tiled shower enclosure with mains shower over. Half-height tiling extends around the room.

Outside, the property enjoys a tucked-away position within the cul-de-sac, approached via a shared private driveway leading to the property’s own driveway and ample off-road parking. There is also a double garage with two up-and-over doors, power and lighting, a rear window and half-glazed door providing direct access to the garden.

The rear garden is undoubtedly one of the property’s outstanding features. The scale and privacy of the plot are immediately apparent, with generous lawns extending across the rear and around to the side, all framed by an attractive woodland backdrop. The gardens offer a wonderful degree of privacy and provide plenty of space for family life, entertaining and gardening. To the side is a dedicated vegetable garden, while gated access leads back around to the front of the property.

Overall, this is a substantial and versatile family home with an unusually generous plot, woodland setting, excellent existing accommodation and genuine potential to create something even more impressive in the future.
