4 bedroom semi-detached house

Extensive character farmhouse with stables, outbuildings and an additional 3 acres by separate negotiation

Situation
Ashby Magna is a small rural village with a great community surrounded by Leicestershire’s rolling countryside and yet so close to excellent road and rail networks. Rugby Station is just 11 miles away with services direct to London taking approx. 60 minutes and the M6 and M1 both easily accessible. Ashby Magna is also well located for Leicester city centre and the market towns of both Lutterworth and Market Harborough where there are many supermarkets and leisure facilities as well as independent boutique shops. There are some lovely walks in the area as well as some fine public houses including the Shires Inn in Peatling Parva and the Plough Inn in Bruntingthorpe.

Description
Ivy House Farm is a delightful red brick period property located in a quiet position within the rural village of Ashby Magna. The property offers extensive accommodation and features many retaining features including exposed beams and tiled floor. To the rear is a large courtyard garden and a run of stables and outbuildings offering potential subject to gaining relevant planning consents.
A nearby 3 acre paddock is available by separate negotiation, located within the village and so walking distance from the property. With the benefit of the extensive stabling and nearby paddock land, there is the potential for excellent equestrian facilities.

Accommodation
The main entrance to the front, leads into a small staircase hall with access to the two formal reception rooms. The drawing room to the right of the hall is a good-sized room with a delightful, raised fireplace and enough space for a seating and separate study area. Double, glazed doors open out from the drawing room into the splendid garden room with lots of natural light flooding through. From here there is access out onto the courtyard garden. To the left of the hall is the formal dining room with exposed beams and attractive fireplace. Off the dining room is the cosy sitting room, also featuring a fireplace with timber surround, housing a wood burning stove. In the single storey extension is the wonderful farmhouse style kitchen with exposed A frame ceiling timbers. This lovely room is full of character with tiled floor and original brick troughs now converted to use as wine racks. There is plenty of space in the kitchen for a central island and a kitchen table. From the kitchen there is access out onto the courtyard and parking area. To the rear of the property and down a few steps is also a useful utility room /scullery and a cloakroom.

On the first floor there is a large master bedroom with a run of fitted wardrobes, air conditioning and a large fully fitted en suite bathroom, accessed down a few steps. There are two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom as well as a fourth single bedroom, currently used as a dressing room. All windows both on the ground and first floor benefit from double glazing.

Outside
Secure timber gates provide access to a large, paved parking area to the rear and side of the property. Here there is a large, paved courtyard area which has recently been sealed to limit the growth of weeds. Also is an extensive run of stables, stores and a two-storey brick outbuilding offering great potential to create a studio or home office subject to gaining relevant consents. There is a solar panel installation on the roof of the loose boxes. We believe that there is over 10 years to run of the 25 year contract. There is also a smaller courtyard area outside the garden room, providing a sheltered and private seating area. There is potentially an additional 3 acre paddock available by separate negotiation.
