Description

Step inside through the smart uPVC entrance door and into a welcoming reception hallway, where wood-effect laminate flooring flows underfoot. Immediately to your left, a useful under-stairs cupboard provides practical storage, while to your right lies a bright and well-appointed kitchen.

The kitchen is fitted with base units wrapping around three sides of the room, topped with complementary worktops and a one-and-a-half bowl sink with a mixer tap. There's space for a range-style cooker and plumbing for a washing machine, with integrated fridge and freezer neatly tucked in-everything you need for easy everyday cooking. At the end of the hall, the cosy sitting room is a real highlight. With French doors opening directly out onto the sun-soaked, south-facing garden, it's perfect for relaxing or entertaining. At the centre of the room is a gorgeous stone fireplace with a wood-burning stove-a comforting focal point, especially in the colder months.

Upstairs, the home offers two comfortable double bedrooms. The main bedroom sits to the rear, with a lovely cottage-style canopy ceiling and views across the garden and village rooftops. It also features a wall of fitted wardrobes, offering excellent storage.
Bedroom two is also a generous double with its own built-in wardrobe and a view over the front. The bathroom is fitted with a crisp white suite, including a bathtub, WC, and pedestal wash basin. A Velux skylight above the bath allows natural light to pour in, making the space bright and airy.

Outside, the courtyard style rear garden is fully paved for easy maintenance and offers complete privacy. With raised planted borders, a sunny south-facing aspect, and gated side access, it's a peaceful space to enjoy outdoor living year-round.

Smisby is a picturesque and historic village on the edge of the National Forest, just a stone's throw from the popular market town of Ashby-de-la-Zouch. Known for its charming mix of period homes, scenic walks, and warm village spirit, Smisby is the kind of place where neighbours know each other by name and community events bring everyone together.

It offers a peaceful village lifestyle, yet remains well-connected-Ashby's shops, pubs, and schools are only minutes away, and there's easy access to the A511 and M42 for commuters heading to Leicester, Birmingham, or Derby. Surrounded by beautiful countryside, Smisby is perfect for those who love nature, local heritage, and the comfort of rural living with town amenities close at hand.
