Willesley Close, Ashby-de-la-Zouch

Willesley Close is one of Ashby’s most prestigious addresses and Briarfield enjoys one of its finest plots, offering stunning views over the 18th fairway at Willesley Golf Club. This exceptional five-bedroom extended detached family home perfectly embodies three key attributes: Position, Plot, and Potential. With its expansive rear garden (0.2 acres) and a prime setting, the property also presents significant scope for further extension and enhancement (subject to the necessary planning consents).

Accommodation – A half-glazed entrance door welcomes you into a charming entrance porch featuring a quarry-tiled floor, a practical boot store area and ample space for coats and hats. A glazed door leads into the reception hallway where beautiful original parquet flooring sets a warm and elegant tone. To your right, the through living room is bathed in natural light thanks to its triple-aspect windows. At the heart of the room is a striking Inglenook-style fireplace with an inset stone and granite surround, complemented by a wood-burning stove. Wide glazed patio doors open onto the rear garden, offering lovely views and a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. Perfect for entertaining, the separate dining room features coving to the ceiling and a window overlooking the rear garden.

The family breakfast kitchen retains its original quarry-tiled flooring and boasts an extensive range of timber base and wall-mounted cabinets along two sides, topped with tiled countertops. Additional features include an integrated wine rack, a dresser unit with a glazed display cabinet and lighting plus space for a breakfast table. From the sink, you can enjoy a delightful view over the gardens and the Close.

A utility room provides practical space and includes a uPVC double-glazed door leading to the garden. From here, an inner lobby connects to the garage and provides access to the annex wing.

The annex begins with a well-proportioned living room, featuring a cosy log-burning stove set within a raised hearth with a beam mantel as its focal point. uPVC double-glazed French doors open onto the garden, enhancing the room’s sense of light and space. The annex also includes two double bedrooms: the principal bedroom is generously sized with fitted wardrobes and a garden-facing window, while the second bedroom, also a double, serves as an excellent study with its own garden view.

The modern refitted kitchen in the annex features shaker-style base and wall-mounted cabinets, elegant oak countertops, an inset porcelain Blanco sink with a mixer tap, and space for a fridge. A glazed skylight floods the kitchen with natural light.

The refitted shower room offers a sleek suite of vanity cupboards along one wall, a concealed cistern WC, an inset wash hand basin and an oversized shower cubicle with a mains shower.

Ascending the wide, turning staircase from the hallway, you reach the first floor which includes a useful linen cupboard and a built-in double wardrobe for additional storage. The principal bedroom is a stunning extended space filled with morning sunlight thanks to its east-facing aspect and twin sets of French doors with a Juliet wrought-iron balcony. The French doors open to reveal breathtaking views over the gardens and Willesley Golf Course beyond. This room also benefits from an en-suite shower facility, featuring an oversized shower and a wash hand basin.

Bedroom two is another well-sized double room also offering picturesque views over the gardens and golf course. Bedroom three is a comfortable single room, featuring a window to the front and a door leading to a useful under-eaves storage cupboard that runs the full length of the room.
The family bathroom includes a white suite with a panelled bath featuring a telephone-style mixer shower tap, a pedestal wash hand basin, and a separate WC with a ladder-style radiator.

Outside
The property is set behind mature front gardens and a generous driveway provides off-road parking and access to the garage which has a remote-controlled electric up-and-over door, lighting, power points and an internal door connecting to the inner lobby off the utility room.

To the rear, the wonderful mature gardens offer exceptional privacy and are mainly laid to lawn complemented by mature shrubs, trees, and planted borders. As previously mentioned, the gardens enjoy the rare benefit of backing directly onto the golf course, enhancing the home’s peaceful and scenic setting.

The property benefits from solar panels.
