A magnificent detached 1930s home on one of Ashby-de-la-Zouch’s most prestigious roads, offering timeless character, privacy and west-facing garden with breathtaking countryside views and direct backing onto Willesley Golf Club.

The Details

This attractive 1930s detached home offers generous proportions and a warm, welcoming feel throughout, reflecting the quality and character of its era. The accommodation extends to approximately 1,938 sq ft and includes spacious reception rooms filled with natural light, creating versatile living spaces ideal for family life, entertaining or relaxed day-to-day living.

The property sits on a generous plot, with a mature west-facing rear garden that enjoys excellent privacy and a peaceful outlook over neighbouring green space. The garden provides a wonderful extension of the living accommodation — ideal for outdoor dining, quiet relaxation or family enjoyment — while the private driveway adds both convenience and a sense of seclusion.

Planning permission was previously granted for development at the property; however, this approval has now expired (January 2026). This history may be of interest to buyers wishing to understand the plot’s past context, though the property’s principal appeal lies firmly in its current character, setting and lifestyle rather than any immediate development focus.

Outside & Setting

The west-facing garden is a particular highlight, offering established planting, privacy and a tranquil backdrop that changes beautifully with the seasons. Backing onto open green space, it feels calm and sheltered, yet remains exceptionally close to the heart of the town. The front of the property benefits from a private driveway, enhancing both practicality and kerb appeal.

Location Excellence

Rail connections at East Midlands parkway and Tamworth stations provide direct links to Birmingham, Leicester, and London, making this location ideal for professionals and families alike.

The nearby Leicestershire countryside presents endless opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts, with walking, cycling, and exploring the region's natural beauty.

Planning History
For those interested in the long-term evolution of the property, it is worth noting that detailed planning permission was previously approved (now expired as of January 2026) for the creation of a truly bespoke family home. The thoughtfully conceived scheme, designed by respected local architects David Granger, illustrated a striking vision for transformation rather than redevelopment, elevating the existing residence into a landmark home while retaining its prime setting and west-facing garden orientation.

The proposals included a triple garage with generous storage, a practical yet elegant boot room, and a stunning 40-foot open-plan living and dining space overlooking the established west-facing garden. Five well-proportioned bedrooms — including a principal suite — were complemented by three contemporary bathrooms, alongside a versatile office and snug area to accommodate modern family living. While this consent has now lapsed, it offers valuable insight into the scale, flexibility and future potential of the plot, should a purchaser ever wish to explore their own bespoke design, subject to the necessary approvals.
