Location - The historic market town of Ashby de la Zouch has links back to Roman times. Historically the town was dominated by the 12th century manor house, eventually becoming a 15th century castle belonging to the Hastings family. Today this is a thriving community on the north side of the A42 dual carriageway, with excellent road links south-west via the M42 to Birmingham and Birmingham International Airport, or north-east to the M1 motorway corridor with East Midland conurbations beyond and Nottingham East Midland Airport at Castle Donington.

The town boasts a wealth of main brand high street shops, banks and building societies, together with boutique shops offering a selection of shopping opportunities. Popular schooling includes four primary schools, middle school and Ashby School with associated sixth form and boarding facilities.

Accommodation Details - Ground Floor - A traditional entrance door flanked by twin bay windows leads to the reception hall with staircase access to both the basement and first floor accommodation, together with rear access to the large balcony overlooking the south facing gardens. On this floor you will also find a separate sitting room; kitchen and generous 31 ft, living room with dual aspect and south facing balcony access.

First & Second Floors - From the landing you will find four generous, double bedrooms together with a family bathroom WC. To the second floor, three further bedrooms, a separate cloakroom and attic storage room, ideal for reconfiguration.

Basement Level - With direct access from above and from ground level, the basement incorporates a utility room and three good sized ancillary rooms together with celler/ wine bottle storage.

Outside - Vehicle access is gained from both Tamworth Road and Avenue Road to a separate driveway, where future parking provision is vast, utilising some of the substantial south facing gardens and grounds.
