Description - Nestled in the picturesque village of Ashover, Hard Meadow is a remarkable semi-detached house that beautifully marries history with modern living. Originally built in 1744 as an 18th Century Coaching Inn, this stunning five-bedroom, three-bathroom property has been meticulously refurbished to retain its charming character while offering contemporary comforts.

As you enter, you are greeted by an impressive front porch that leads into the hallway and round to a delightful open-plan kitchen and dining area. This space is truly the heart of the home, featuring a bespoke kitchen with a large central island, wooden shaker-style units, solid wood worktops, and travertine tiled flooring. The character continues throughout the ground floor, where exposed stone walls, beams, and wooden shutters create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The cosy front living room, complete with an exposed stone wall, is perfect for relaxation, while a cleverly designed office/study area offers a private space for work or study. A further reception room with log burner and a spacious downstairs bedroom with a feature fireplace further enhance the home's appeal, alongside a contemporary cloakroom.

Upstairs, you will find four generously sized bedrooms, each beautifully finished and featuring charming details such as wooden window seats and exposed beams. The master bedroom boasts a luxurious en-suite with a rainfall shower, ensuring comfort and convenience for all. A modern family bathroom with brick effect tiling and gloss black fixtures completes this level.
