Description

What a location! This lovely bungalow occupies a particularly appealing plot, with views onto open fields with far-reaching views towards Blackfordby Church and the surrounding countryside. Enjoying a peaceful semi-rural setting on the edge of the village, there is a footpath literally from the front door, leading through the fields into the village and onwards for miles in either direction.
Blackfordby is a charming village on the edge of the National Forest, just two miles from Ashby-de-la-Zouch. Surrounded by beautiful countryside, it offers excellent walking and cycling routes alongside a strong community atmosphere. The village is home to the historic St Margaret of Antioch Church, popular Black Lion pub, primary school and village hall, while nearby Ashby provides a wider range of shops, restaurants and everyday amenities.

Step inside to a welcoming hallway with stripped wooden flooring and impressive high ceilings. There are three excellent double bedrooms, two positioned to the front and a third to the side, which enjoys a glimpse of the church spire across the fields.The well-appointed family bathroom is finished in white and features a pedestal wash hand basin, WC and shaped shower bath with curved glazed screen and Triton electric shower over. Mosaic-effect splashback tiling and an attractive ornamental period-style radiator add character.
At the heart of the home is the wonderful open-plan living, dining and kitchen space, offering plenty of room for dining and informal seating. The kitchen is fitted with a range of white base and wall-mounted units, complemented by contrasting roll-edge worktops and an inset sink. There is space for a range-style cooker, washing machine and dishwasher, together with two side windows and a door leading directly to the rear garden.
The living room is positioned perfectly at the rear of the property, overlooking the gardens and enjoying patio doors opening outside, a further side window, solid timber flooring and a fireplace providing an attractive focal point.

The property is set back from the road behind an extensive Crete-print driveway, providing excellent parking and turning space. A side driveway leads towards the former garage, although access is restricted in width. The garage currently provides useful storage to the front, while to the rear is a fantastic garden room. This is a particularly appealing space, with UPVC French double-glazed entrance doors flanked by picture windows, creating a light and welcoming retreat overlooking the garden. It would make an ideal home office, hobby room or peaceful space in which to enjoy the outlook.
