4 bed detached house for sale

Fossbrooke Drive, Ashby-De-La-Zouch LE65

Sold with no upward chain, this property on Fossbrooke Drive forms part of the Ashby Fields development in the historic market town of Ashby-de-la-Zouch and is arguably one of the best plots on the development. This magnificent four-bedroom detached eco-home offers the ultimate package in modern, energy-efficient living. Built in 2024 by Taylor Wimpey, the property is in pristine condition and benefits from the peace of mind of a remaining NHBC new build warranty. Furthermore, the property benefits from tens of thousands of pounds in high-quality upgrades from the original standard specification, including chrome light fittings and sockets (with usb ports), upgraded doors and a high specification kitchen, making it a truly premium offering.

Tucked away on a private road and directly facing green spaces, this home represents a rare opportunity to enjoy a tranquil outlook while remaining just moments from the heart of the town.

Designed with the future in mind, this home boasts an a-graded Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). It features highly efficient solar panels (owned outright) that significantly reduce household running costs, and a state-of-the-art Electric Vehicle Charging (evc) point conveniently installed on the driveway.

The ground floor layout has been thoughtfully designed to balance formal entertaining with comfortable, everyday family life. The lounge is a spacious, bright room featuring an elegant bay window looking out over the green front view. Double doors open from the lounge to create a seamless flow into the kitchen-diner, which truly is the heart of the home and is flooded with natural light. The high-specification kitchen comes fully equipped with AEG built in appliances including a dishwasher, fridge-freezer, double oven, and a premium 5-burner gas hob. French doors open directly onto the patio, making it perfect for al fresco dining. The ”Lootility” is a highly practical and space-saving addition to the home, combining a downstairs toilet and sink with a dedicated built-in washing machine and space to sort laundry. Positioned at the front of the house, a versatile second reception room is ideal as a quiet home office, a cosy snug or a playroom.

The first floor has four spacious bedrooms, ensuring there is no compromise on space for a growing family. The main bedroom features a generous layout with large built in wardrobes and its own en-suite shower room, with a waterfall shower. Bedrooms two, three, and four are all excellent-sized double bedrooms, with two of them having premium built-in wardrobes. The first floor is completed with a modern, beautifully tiled, family bathroom with a toilet, sink, and a bath with an over-bath shower.

The outdoor space has been beautifully designed with both family living and local wildlife in mind. The garden is a mixture of lawn and stylish paved patio areas, extended as part of the upgrades. It features a ”hedgehog highway”-a small, deliberate gap in the fencing designed to allow local wildlife to pass through safely. A massive and highly unique benefit to this specific plot is that permission has been granted to erect a shed on the patio behind the garage, an addition which is not guaranteed on this development.

To the side, a driveway provides ample off-road parking, leading to a single garage which benefits from a highly convenient side-access door directly into the garden. Additional visitor parking spaces are also available at the front of the property.

Ashby-de-la-Zouch is widely considered one of the jewel market towns of Leicestershire. Living here offers a vibrant lifestyle centred around the bustling Market Street, renowned for its independent boutiques, cafes, and award-winning restaurants.

Families are particularly attracted to the area due to its fantastic school catchments (Primary through to Secondary). For leisure, residents are on the doorstep of the National Forest, offering miles of woodland walks, cycling routes, and the historic ruins of Ashby Castle and the manicured lawns of The Bath Grounds. Excellent transport links via the A42 provide easy commutes to Nottingham, Birmingham, Leicester, and Derby.
