North Leys, Ashbourne, DE6 1DQ

Contemporary architecture is rarely found within such easy reach of Ashbourne's historic town centre.

Occupying an elevated position on North Leys, this newly built detached home, complete with the reassurance of a full 10 Year NHBC Warranty, has been thoughtfully designed to embrace light, space and effortless modern living. Combining striking contemporary architecture with a carefully considered specification, the property offers a lifestyle that's every bit as practical as it is impressive.

A canopied entrance provides an attractive first impression, opening into a welcoming reception hall with a guest cloakroom. Beyond, the accommodation unfolds into an exceptional open plan living environment where generous glazing and a large skylight introduce an abundance of natural light.

Enjoying attractive views towards St Oswald's Church, whilst being just a short stroll from Ashbourne's thriving independent shops, cafés and restaurants, the property combines contemporary living with the convenience and lifestyle of one of Derbyshire's most highly regarded market towns.

Extending to approximately 1,563 sq.ft, including a substantial 370 sq.ft undercroft store, the property offers three well proportioned bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en suite shower room, together with a stylish family bathroom. A dedicated study, impressive open plan living accommodation and an exceptional 56ft balcony further enhance the thoughtfully considered layout.

Accommodation:

A canopied entrance provides an attractive first impression, opening into a welcoming reception hall with a stylish guest cloakroom, setting the tone for the contemporary accommodation beyond.

Forming the heart of the home is an exceptional open plan kitchen, dining and living room, a beautifully proportioned space designed with both everyday living and entertaining in mind.
The contemporary fitted kitchen is centred around a substantial central island with breakfast bar, complemented by a comprehensive range of integrated appliances, generous preparation space and sleek cabinetry. Above, a large skylight floods the kitchen with natural light, enhancing the sense of space and creating a wonderfully bright and welcoming environment throughout the day. The dining area sits naturally between the kitchen and living room, creating an effortless flow through the principal accommodation.

Positioned just off this impressive living space, the dedicated study has been thoughtfully incorporated to accommodate the demands of modern home working. Remaining connected to the heart of the home whilst providing a practical workspace, it offers an ideal balance between productivity and everyday life.

The beautifully proportioned living area enjoys an abundance of natural light through expansive glazing, whilst glazed French doors provide seamless access to the spectacular 56ft balcony. Enjoying attractive views towards St Oswald's Church, this outstanding outdoor space becomes a natural extension of the living accommodation, creating an exceptional setting for morning coffee, al fresco dining or evening entertaining.

Private Accommodation:

Positioned away from the principal living accommodation, the private accommodation has been thoughtfully arranged to create a peaceful retreat whilst continuing the home's emphasis on natural light and connection with the outdoors.

The principal bedroom is a beautifully proportioned double room, with a large glazed door and surrounding glazing opening directly onto the balcony and introducing plenty of natural light. A dedicated dressing recess provides the ideal space for fitted or freestanding furniture, whilst a well appointed en suite shower room completes the principal suite.

Bedroom Two is another generous double room, also featuring a large glazed door with surrounding glazing providing direct access to the balcony. Its connection with the outside space gives the room excellent versatility, lending itself equally well to use as a second reception room if preferred.

The third bedroom is another well proportioned room, with ample space for bedroom furniture and excellent flexibility to suit individual requirements.

Completing the private accommodation is a beautifully appointed family bathroom, thoughtfully designed to combine luxury with everyday practicality. Finished to a high standard, the contemporary suite incorporates an elegant freestanding bath, a large separate shower enclosure, vanity wash hand basin and WC, creating a stylish and relaxing space in which to unwind at the end of the day.

Outside:

The property benefits from two allocated parking spaces, including one particularly generous space capable of comfortably accommodating a large vehicle whilst still offering additional room for a motorcycle or the potential creation of secure bicycle storage. An electric vehicle charging point is also in place.

From the parking area, a gentle flight of iron steps leads to the canopied entrance, creating an attractive approach to the property. As you ascend, the outlook begins to unfold whilst the distinctive sedum roof adds another contemporary architectural feature to the home's design.

Undoubtedly one of the property's defining features is the impressive 56ft balcony, extending across almost the full width of the home and creating a superb extension of the principal living accommodation. Directly accessed from the living room, principal bedroom and Bedroom Two, this exceptional outdoor space provides ample room for seating, outdoor dining and entertaining, whilst enjoying attractive views towards St Oswald's Church.

Steps to the side of the property descend to the substantial 370 sq.ft undercroft store, complete with power and lighting, providing an exceptionally practical ancillary space.

Perfectly suited for the secure storage of bicycles, outdoor equipment and seasonal items, together with the potential to create a dedicated wine store, it represents a valuable feature that significantly enhances the property's everyday practicality.

The steps continue to a lower lawned garden, providing an additional area of outside space with excellent scope to create a further decked terrace or patio area, allowing a future owner to further enhance the property's outdoor living space.

Location:

Often referred to as the Gateway to the Peak District National Park, Ashbourne is renowned for its attractive architecture, vibrant community and excellent range of everyday amenities. The town offers supermarkets, leisure facilities and schooling, whilst its independent businesses and established hospitality scene contribute greatly to its enduring appeal.

The property itself enjoys attractive views towards the historic St Oswald's Church, one of Ashbourne's most recognisable landmarks and a particularly attractive feature of the outlook from the balcony.
