Smisby Road, Ashby-de-la-Zouch

Looking for a home that feels like you've arrived the moment you step through the door? This beautifully updated period property on Smisby Road could be just the one. It's full of character - think high ceilings, original fireplaces, and those gorgeous old tiles in the hallway - but with all the modern things that make life

You step up under the canopy, through the lovely arched entrance - and already, it feels special. Open the composite door and you're greeted by a classic Minton tiled hallway. It's the kind of entrance that says "welcome home" and sets the tone for what's inside.

The Heart of the Home - A stunning open-plan kitchen, living and dining space. This is where life happens - whether it's laid-back weekend breakfasts, evening dinners with friends, or simply relaxing with a good book. The whole space flows beautifully thanks to stylish and hard-wearing Karndean flooring, with room for a large family sofa, a generous dining table, and access to the cellar below - which is practical and well-managed with both a PIV system and sump pump in place. The kitchen itself is sleek and contemporary, with deep grey cabinets wrapping around the room and light countertops that give a bright, airy feel. An induction hob, oven, extractor hood, integrated dishwasher, fridge freezer, and a statement tall radiator make this space both functional and fabulous. Off the kitchen, there's a useful boot room entrance - perfect for muddy shoes and everyday comings and goings - as well as a cleverly designed "loo-tility" with a WC and space for the washing machine and tumble dryer keeping the clutter of daily life neatly tucked away.

At the front of the house, the sitting room is an inviting retreat. High ceilings, original cornicing, and painted floorboards bring character and calm, while a log-burning stove with tiled hearth and beam creates a stunning focal point. Fitted cabinets and shelving sit either side of the chimney breast, and a large walk-in bay window with plantation shutters allows light to flood the room. A living space that feels elegant without being formal.

Upstairs, the sense of space continues. The main bedroom is a generous king-size with a beautiful period fireplace and views over the rear garden. Two further bedrooms offer flexibility for guests, family, or working from home - all served by a truly spectacular family bathroom. This space is designed to impress, with a freestanding roll-top bath with claw and ball feet, a large walk-in shower featuring a rainfall head, a WC, and a repurposed chest of drawers reimagined as a vanity unit, complete with a countertop washbowl and mixer tap. The high ceilings and tasteful finishes give this room a boutique hotel feel.

Step outside and you'll find a generous rear garden - mostly laid to lawn, with two separate patio areas that catch the sun throughout the day. It's a perfect space for entertaining, playing, or simply relaxing in peace. A double-width driveway provides off-road parking for two cars with ease which means no more street parking stress.

This is a home that doesn't just tick boxes - it tells a story. A story of beautiful original features, of thoughtful modern updates, and of a space that just feels right from the moment you walk in. If you're looking for a forever home with soul, style, and substance, this one is well worth a closer look.
