Ashville is a stunning stone character home that has a wealth of charm and period features that includes a rear conservatory extension set in established well-maintained gardens. Internal inspection recommended. NO ONWARD CHAIN.

Owned by the same family for over 100 years, with the last internal family transfer taking place in 1947 as a wedding gift, this charming period home presents a truly rare opportunity to acquire a property of genuine heritage and character.

Offered to the market for the first time in generations, the property benefits from mains gas, water and drainage and immediately offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere upon entering through the entrance porch. A distinctive feature of the home is its two staircases leading to the first floor, adding to its traditional charm and character.

The ground floor accommodation includes a spacious lounge centred around an attractive period stone fireplace with an inset multi-fuel stove. Steps lead down to a useful keeping cellar, providing valuable storage space. A separate dining room features an undulating engineered oak floor together with a further stone fireplace housing a multi-fuel stove, creating an ideal setting for family dining and entertaining.

The well-appointed kitchen is fitted with solid oak and tulipwood units and incorporates a dishwasher, fridge, freezer, Siemens microwave and Rangemaster cooking range. Adjoining the kitchen is a practical utility room housing a Siemens washing machine and Hoover dryer, together with a guest cloakroom and external access to the rear courtyard.

A delightful stone-based orangery provides a bright and private sitting area, complete with two central heating radiators and double doors opening onto the rear garden, allowing for year-round enjoyment.

To the first floor are four bedrooms, two of which enjoy attractive views over the level, well-shaped lawned gardens. The accommodation is further complemented by a luxurious house bathroom.

Outside, the property enjoys beautifully maintained gardens along with a useful log store and a secure, lockable gardener's store. An additional croft/paddock, accessed via a gate from the rear garden, is available by separate negotiation.
