Property description
* STUNNING TWO-STOREY EXTENSION TO THE REAR WITH OPEN VIEWS! * About two years ago, this superb five-bedroomed detached family home was extended to the rear adding two extra bedrooms, a larger lounge, a spacious living kitchen and an en suite shower room. The garden (which enjoys open countryside views) was landscaped. A look inside now reveals: a canopied porch, entrance hall, L-shaped living kitchen with engineered oak flooring and Neff appliances, adjoining utility room, a lounge with patio doors overlooking the westerly-facing garden, family room (second reception room), downstairs cloakroom/w.c., four double bedrooms (the master bedroom with en suite), a fifth bedroom/office and a refitted bathroom. There's an integral single garage and a driveway offering off-road parking for at least three cars.
THE LOCATION
The ancient, historic market town of Ashby (with its famous 15th century castle) almost certainly dates back to Roman times. Later, in the early 19th century, it became a spa town. Many of the Georgian-style buildings that you now see were built to accommodate visitors to the Baths. Today, Ashby de la Zouch is a thriving and bustling town within the National Forest and enjoys a wide range of good shops, schools, pubs, churches and local amenities. The nearby M42 motorway gives easy access to the M1, M5 and M6 and many other Midland towns and cities. The town is also convenient for the Nottingham East Midlands airport.

The garden (which enjoys open countryside views) was also landscaped. A look inside now reveals: a canopied porch, entrance hall, L-shaped living kitchen with engineered oak flooring and Neff appliances, adjoining utility room, a lounge with patio doors overlooking the westerly-facing garden, family room (second reception room), downstairs cloakroom/w.c., four double bedrooms (the master bedroom with fitted wardrobes by Hammond and an en suite shower room), a fifth bedroom/office and a refitted bathroom with Travertine tiled walls and floor.
