Summary - 2 WESTHORPE ASHLEY MARKET HARBOROUGH LE16 8HQ
4 bed 3 bath Semi-Detached
Characterful village home with large kitchen, parking and private walled garden.
Nearly 2,500 sq ft of period family accommodation
Set on the edge of the Welland Valley in a peaceful conservation village, this substantial period family home offers nearly 2,500 sq ft of versatile accommodation. The property retains traditional character—exposed beams, inglenook fireplace and sash-style windows—combined with practical updates such as double glazing (installed post-2002) and gas central heating. A generous 23' x 17' farmhouse kitchen with an AGA and island is the heart of the house, while three reception rooms plus a library and study give scope for family living or flexible bedroom use.
Outside, the walled, mainly hard‑landscaped garden is private and low‑maintenance, with well‑stocked borders, secure double gates, parking for three to four cars and a single garage. The house is offered freehold and chain‑free, convenient for buyers wanting a prompt move. Local broadband is fast and the village setting suits families seeking good primary schools and a quiet rural life with low crime.
Practical points to note: the house is an older stone-built property (pre‑1900) and the walls are assumed to be without modern insulation, so heating costs may be higher than a new build. Council tax is described as expensive. The AGA in the kitchen is oil‑fired while the main heating runs from a mains‑gas boiler; buyers should check fuel arrangements and running costs. Internally the layout is flexible—two reception rooms could be used as additional bedrooms—but some buyers may want to update bathrooms, finishes or add insulation to improve energy performance.
This property will suit buyers seeking a character family home in an affluent, rural setting who value space, parking and a ready-to-live-in farmhouse kitchen but are prepared to manage the running costs and potential upgrading of an older stone house.
