This house really will suit all, whether you’re embarking on a difficult downsize, or have a family and looking for something that you can move straight in to, but are possibly looking for opportunity to grow into further, well there's most definitely scope to do so here at Ashridge, a wonderful detached home in the heart of the lovely village of Ashley. Sitting in a very nice sized plot of decent front and rear gardens, you could quite easily create more space and bedrooms without compromising on the outside space at all. It started life as a four bedroom detached house and could quite easily be that again by simply adding a stud wall back in, but the current vendors took this out, with the correct permission might I add, to make what suited them thus creating a very large master bedroom suit. But if all you need is three bedrooms, then you will be very pleased with the hotel suite-like room with an equally large en-suite. I realise I’ve started this introduction to this fabulous house, upside down so I’ll continue on this first floor with a further double bedroom and a good sized single benefiting from a fitted wardrobe. The family bathroom has been modernise, as have most things throughout the house, so you find a contemporary suite comprising bath, with shower over, sink and w.c to meet all the families needs. Now let’s head downstairs where you will be greeted with the most loveliest of entrances, spacious with a pretty Minton style flooring and doors leading off the several spaces. The first a cloakroom with W.C and sink, the next is a cupboard for your coats and shoes, another takes you through to the integral double garage which in turn offers another door providing access to the rear garden. Back in the hallway you’ll find the study directly in front of you which is filled with an abundance of light with a large window and door with the wonderful view and access to the very pretty rear garden. The final door from the hallway takes you through to the hub of the house which is the kitchen/diner and living room. This room makes me think of children running around trying to lick the spoon that parents or Nanny has been using to stir the baking mixture with. The very large AGA to the end of the kitchen is a spectacular addition to this wonderful space, with cupboards and storage either side of it and a sink inset onlooking to the gorgeous, private front gardens! If you had a blindfold unveiled stood right by the kitchen sink, you’d be forgiven for thinking that this was your back garden, with its very generous size, luscious greenery enveloping around it and patio area to catch just some of the wonderful sunshine. To access this you would simply pop out through the French doors from the dining area or there’s a gate from the driveway leading to it. But we continue with the house and before we head into the lounge you’ll notice the cutest spot to sit and read a book tucked under the stairs, a bespokely fitted window style seat, but an under stair seat instead! Grab a nice coffee or drink of choice and take some time for yourself. Next is the lounge which is another very generous room which features a brick chimney breast and a very contemporary clear view log burning stove then huge sliding glass doors open up into the conservatory which completes the ground floor. This space once again is a tranquil spot for you to sit and enjoy the sensational private rear gardens. So let’s head out and explore this exceptional outside space. First of all there’s a driveway that comfortably fits two large cars on and directly in front is the double garage which has an electric up and over door. Past the front doors is a little gate which takes you through to the front rear garden which we spoke about earlier, then a side access path leads you down to the rear garden which will honestly have you all very excited. The first section is for the gardeners where there are raised beds for growing veggies and a large potting shed behind which will suit the keenest of green fingers out there. There’s also a patio area, perfect for barbecuing, then a lawn to the centre surrounded and complemented by an abundance of greenery and colour and finally you’ll find a decked area which is just right for the evening sun, also sitting and dining with friends and family. It really is a garden and house for all ages and so we’re super excited to present to you Ashridge.
