Kilwardby Street, Ashby-De-La-Zouch, LE65

Morning coffee in one of the many cafes around the corner, dinner with friend’s moments from home and Ashby’s shops, pubs and parks waiting outside your door. This apartment offers an easier, more sociable way of living in the very heart of town.

Part of the exceptional Grade II listed conversion of Kilwardby House, this individual second-floor apartment combines the freedom of town centre living with generous rooms, original architectural details and a superb contemporary specification.

The experience begins with its own private staircase from the communal first floor landing which is shared with one other apartment. Beautifully finished with an oak balustrade and newel post, it rises past an ornate original window to a spacious private landing, giving the arrival a sense of occasion and making the apartment feel wonderfully separate.

A central hallway introduces a home with space and flexibility. There are two genuine double bedrooms, allowing the second to work equally well as a guest room, home office or permanent bedroom. The principal bedroom features a beautiful original fireplace, while the second enjoys windows on two sides and an abundance of natural light.

The separate lounge is another real advantage. Positioned at the front of the building, it is a comfortable room in which to relax, with a window overlooking the street and a handsome stone fireplace adding warmth and character. It also provides access to a large open loft area, offering useful storage and potential for alternative use, subject to any necessary consents.

Two steps rise from the hallway into the showpiece dining kitchen and this is where Apartment 2 really comes alive.

At its centre is a substantial island, creating the perfect gathering place for friends to enjoy a drink before walking into Ashby for dinner or an evening out. The original curved bay window fills the room with light and provides an elevated outlook across the town’s rooftops towards its historic centre.

A high-quality Charnwood Kitchen with quartz worktops has a comprehensive range of integrated Miele appliances. These include a double oven, fridge freezer and dishwasher, while the induction hob is set into the island with an extractor above and practical pan drawers below. An inset sink and dedicated laundry cupboard with plumbing for a washing machine complete this thoughtfully planned space.

A beautiful original fireplace with a tiled inset adds an unexpected layer of period detail to the kitchen, bringing together the heritage of Kilwardby House and the quality of its contemporary conversion.

The bathroom is equally well considered, with a four-piece suite comprising a bath, separate shower, wash basin and WC.

Outside, residents have use of a communal rear courtyard garden and separate bin store. Apartment 2 also has an allocated parking space within the secure, electronically gated car park, with electrical provision for the installation of an EV charging point. This is accessed via a public car park.

This is a home for someone who wants more from where they live. Character and quality inside, the energy of Ashby outside, and the freedom to leave the car behind. From an impromptu coffee to dinner, drinks or a browse around the independent shops, everything is only a short walk from your front door.

The cost of these checks is £25 (incl. VAT) per person, which covers the cost of obtaining relevant data and any manual checks and monitoring which might be required. This fee will need to be paid by you in advance of us issuing a memorandum of sale, directly to Hipla, and is non-refundable. We will receive some of the fee taken by Hipla to compensate for our role in the provision of these checks.
