A lifestyle opportunity in an exceptional setting.

A rare opportunity to enjoy the peace and tranquillity of a picturesque countryside setting whilst remaining within easy reach of all that vibrant Ashby-de-la-Zouch has to offer.

Forming part of the highly regarded Cliftonthorpe Hall development, thoughtfully conceived and constructed by respected local builders Lychgate Homes, this beautifully presented residence enjoys an enviable position overlooking an elegant, landscaped courtyard with manicured gardens and an attractive central bandstand. Beyond the development lie open fields, scenic walks and countryside pathways, creating a wonderful sense of escape from everyday life.

Discreetly tucked away along a private driveway off Smisby Road, Cliftonthorpe enjoys a remarkably convenient location less than one mile from Ashby's thriving town centre. Residents can embrace the best of both worlds, enjoying peaceful surroundings whilst benefiting from excellent local schooling, a bustling Market Street lined with independent shops, cafés, restaurants and public houses, together with superb transport links via the nearby M42 connecting Birmingham, Tamworth, Burton upon Trent, Derby, Nottingham and the wider Midlands motorway network.

Extending to approximately 1,285 sq. ft., the accommodation has been thoughtfully updated throughout and is presented to an exceptional standard.

Stepping through the front door, you are welcomed by an elegant reception hall complete with a useful coat cupboard. Opposite sits a beautifully refitted guest cloakroom featuring a contemporary white suite and stylish modern finishes.

To the right, the superb living room offers a calm and inviting retreat. Dual-aspect windows flood the room with natural light whilst framing delightful views across the central courtyard, bandstand gardens and the beautifully landscaped private gardens beyond. High ceilings and wide oak floorboards create an immediate feeling of quality and space, complemented by tasteful décor and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

The breakfast kitchen has been comprehensively redesigned with contemporary living in mind. Seamless handleless cabinetry in a sophisticated pale grey finish is paired with luxurious quartz work surfaces and a practical breakfast bar seating area. Integrated appliances include twin Neff ovens, a Neff induction hob with extractor canopy above, Neff fridge and freezer, integrated washing machine, wine chiller and a Franke one-and-a-half bowl under-mounted sink with Quooker boiling mixer tap. French doors open directly onto the gardens, providing a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living.

Partially open plan to the kitchen is a wonderful dining and sitting area, ideal for both everyday family life and entertaining. Wide oak flooring continues throughout, whilst French doors open onto the rear terrace. A striking brick-built fireplace with oak mantel, raised stone hearth and contemporary inset log-burning stove provides an attractive focal point, whilst a front-facing window enjoys views over the attractive courtyard setting. The high ceilings found throughout the ground floor further enhance the sense of light and space.

A staircase rises to the first floor where a generous landing benefits from a rear skylight and a range of discreet fitted storage cupboards, providing invaluable additional space for household items, linen and seasonal storage.

All three bedrooms are beautifully presented and enjoy characterful vaulted ceilings, adding charm and individuality throughout.

The principal bedroom is a particularly impressive space, enjoying views across both the landscaped rear gardens and the attractive courtyard setting to the front. It is complemented by a stylishly appointed en-suite shower room featuring a contemporary WC, floating vanity unit with deep storage drawers and a generous fully tiled shower enclosure with glazed folding doors and rainfall shower.

Bedroom two is a spacious double room, whilst Bedroom Three offers excellent versatility as either a generous single bedroom, home office or occasional guest room. It accommodates two fitted double wardrobes providing exceptional storage.

Completing the accommodation is a luxurious family bathroom, beautifully redesigned to create a spa-inspired sanctuary. A contemporary freestanding slipper bath with floor-mounted mixer tap and handheld shower forms the centrepiece of the room, complemented by feature tiling, a floating high-gloss vanity unit with integrated basin, concealed-cistern WC, heated towel radiator and an impressive wet-room style shower area with both rainfall and handheld shower fittings.

The gardens enjoy an excellent degree of privacy, are not directly overlooked and also incorporate a secondary enclosed area with space for a garden shed and gated rear access.
