3 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

Embrace the lifestyle that living in the historic market town of Ashby offers, being able to walk into town along the many pathways to the bustling high street filled with its coffee shops, boutiques, restaurants and bars as one its many joys. The famous butchers Taylor's has queues around the block at the weekends and who can say no to a pizza and cocktail at Zamani's or a trip to The Tap at no. 76 on a cold winters evening with seating round the log burning stove. A walk through Bath Grounds is always pleasant whether the time of year and in the summer, the thwack of willow on leather can be heard here and is a popular destination for families to picnic. All this, more and of course the wonderful historic Ashby-de-la-Zouch Castle makes the town a lovely one in which to live. Strategically Ashby lies in the heart of The National Forest, right in the middle of the country and is perfect positioned for the busy commuter with access via the M42 and M1 to many east and west Midland towns and cities. Conkers, Moira Furnace and Hicks Lodge provide many leisure pursuits.

Set hidden back behind its hedge and block paved drive lies number 23. Beneath a feature arch canopy porch you will find a classical style entrance door flanked by original wall tiling with a Minton tiled floor underfoot which continues through into a lovely reception hallway.

Off to your left behind a stripped pine doorway lies a living room with its calm and neutral tones and honey hued wooden flooring. A large bay shuttered window allows natural light to stream in and the focal point is no doubt the gorgeous and grand feature open fireplace with its raised hearth, tiled cheeks and inset cast iron grate.

At the end of the hallway is the dining/sitting room, it too has stripped floorboards, a cast iron period style fireplace but further benefitting from a glazed door opening and allowing access to the garden beyond.

Nestled between the two rooms is an understairs area with a side facing window and connecting doors between. The current owner has cleverly utilised this area as a study nook for working from home.

Next is the lovely kitchen, beautifully appointed with base and wall mounted cabinets along three sides with work surfaces above, incorporating a one and half bowl feature Belfast style sink with mixer tap set, beneath the tall sash window. There is a four ring gas hob with extractor hood above and oven set beneath. A door leads out onto the rear garden and an arch way leads to a small utility room with and space for fridge freezer and space and plumbing for washing machine. A door then leads through to guest cloakroom finished in white with WC and wash hand basin and there is a wall mounted gas fired central heating boiler.

Return to the hallway and climb the stairs to the first floor and leading off the large L shape landing you will find there are three bedrooms. Particular attention should be drawn to the principal bedroom which runs the full width of the property and has a deep walk in bay window, a built in cupboard and oodles of floor space. Bedroom two is another double room as this too has a cast iron feature fireplace. Bedroom three is a lovely single room overlooking the rear garden and has a feature mezzanine area.

The bathroom has been well appointed with a white suite comprising period style pedestal wash hand basin and a frameless walk in shower with dual shower featuring a rainfall shower head with lovely Hague blue subway tiling to the shower and sink area, with WC and an ornamental period style radiator with towel warmer.

A second set of stairs leads from the landing into a very useful attic room. This is a large open space with clever under eaves storage cupboards. There is small feature arrow slit window to the side and large Velux skylight (please note this is not a bedroom and is only an attic room).

Outside, as previously mentioned, the property has a block paved drive to the front providing off road parking and also has the benefit of shared access around to the rear to a further off road parking area where there is also space for a large timber shed. Gated side access leads into the rear garden which has been paved for ease of maintenance, a feature timber pergola above and due to the westerly aspect is a perfect summer entertaining space.
