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. A walk through the Bath Grounds in the summer is particularly pleasant for an early morning coffee in one of the many local coffee shops. With a choice of many local pubs and restaurants for a night out, a gentle stroll back is always welcome. 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.

Edged pathway approach flanked by a low maintenance foregarden leads you to a recessed portico with quarry tiled floor. Inside you are met by a reception hallway with high ceilings, original archway and a quarry tiled floor. Stairs rise to the first floor and to your right a latched door opens to reveal a cosy sitting room with feature walk-in bay window with cornice and a gorgeous cast open fireplace at the focal point of the room.

The spacious dining room runs 4.2m in length and it too has a lovely period fireplace at its focal point. A stable door leads into the adjacent kitchen with wide almost full width picture window set above a long run of high gloss cabinets with complementary counters. A practical tiled floor runs throughout the room and into the rear hall which leads you out into the gardens themselves.

Last but not least there is a basement level, stairs leading down from the dining room to two cellar areas both of which have raised thrawls, a space crying out for conversion.

On the first floor a long corridor landing has a pull down loft hatch and fitted wooden ladder leading up to a cavernous attic room with skylight, perfect for many uses.

Leading off the landing are two excellent sized double bedrooms complemented by a pretty period style bathroom which has a freestanding roll top bath with feature period style shower over, a pedestal wash hand basin and WC. Wrapping around the walls is complementary half height tiling.

Outside, rear shared vehicular access leads you to a driveway providing parking space that could be increased in size by the removal of the timber shed. Gated side access leads you into the gardens themselves, set within you will find an original brick outbuilding with storage shed and WC plus a fabulous garden home office/workshop which has light, power and dual aspect uPVC double glazed windows. This is an excellent external building for those looking for a workshop, hobby room or man cave!
