Situation
Set in the sought-after Northamptonshire village of Ashley, considered to be one of the most attractive Welland Valley villages in highly accessible and yet un-spoilt countryside. The village contains a public house, farm shop, active village hall, children's play park, and an 11th Century parish church part designed by Sir Gilbert Scott, famous for the design of St Pancras station. The Ashley Recreation Ground offers tennis courts, petanque, cricket nets and walks with magnificent hilltop views of the Welland Valley. The neighbouring village of Medbourne has a post office/village shop, café and a well thought of public house. The nearby market town of Market Harborough is some six miles distant and provides a good array of everyday shopping facilities including a market, together with a fast direct train rail link to London St Pancras.
Communications in the area are excellent, with good links to Leicester, Peterborough and Kettering, with the A14 dual carriageway providing rapid road access both east (A1), north/south (M1) and northwest via M6. International air travel is available at East Midlands Airport, Birmingham, Stansted and Luton.
Recreational facilities in the area are excellent, with Rutland Water set to the north, between Uppingham and Oakham (approx. 12 miles). This provides sailing and fishing with scenic walks and the Rutland Water cycle route. Educational establishments nearby are renowned with preparatory and primary education at Wilbarston, Bringhurst, Oakham and Stamford, whilst secondary education is available at Market Harborough, Uppingham, Oakham, Stamford, Oundle and Leicester.
The Property
Entered via a canopied porch into a generous double height central hallway with oak flooring, double half glazed doors radiate off to well-proportioned and inviting reception rooms. The property has been finished to a high standard with solid timber doors and flooring, an attractive staircase, galleried landing and well laid out spacious accommodation. The drawing room, with a central stone fireplace, has French doors opening onto the rear terrace and garden. Adjacent, the dining room also has double doors onto the garden, as well as a connecting door through to the kitchen, which could be opened up (subject to the necessary consents) to create one large living/kitchen/dining room.
The kitchen/breakfast room, with a second door from the hall, has an excellent range of oak fronted wall and floor units, a central island / breakfast bar with storage under, an integrated dishwasher, and double cooker/hob. There is an attractive granite work surface throughout. The kitchen work area leads to a bright garden room space currently used for a breakfast/dining table but could equally serve as comfortable seating area. A utility/boot room leads off the kitchen and through to another door taking you out to the side of the house and bin store/drying area. A well sized study as well as a cloakroom also lead off the central hallway.
To the first floor, all four bedrooms are generous doubles. Three have large built-in wardrobes, with both the principal bedroom and second bedroom having en-suite shower rooms. There is also a well-presented family bathroom and substantial walk-in linen cupboard.
OUTSIDE
To the front of the property, a gravelled driveway leads to a sizeable parking area with space for several cars, and a brick built double garage adjacent to the lawned front gardens which are framed by mature trees and pretty borders giving increased privacy.
To the rear, a wide terrace is set across the back of the property, with steps leading up to the walled garden, with a lawned area framed by well-stocked borders of mature shrubs and perennials creating interest throughout the year. A second terrace to the far right of the garden adds an evening al-fresco dining area, placed to capture the last of the evening sunshine. Every part of this attractive garden is private.
VIEWING
The property may only be inspected by prior arrangement through King West.
SERVICES
Mains water, gas and electricity are connected. None of the services have been tested by the agents.
