Ash House is a rare Victorian detached family home set on a generous, mature plot in the conservation area of Leire. Built in 1860, the house retains period features — high ceilings, original sash windows, fireplaces and wood flooring — while offering spacious modern family living across multiple reception rooms, a large kitchen and a bright garden room that overlooks the landscaped cottage garden.
The accommodation includes four double bedrooms, a family bathroom, a separate shower room, a cellar for storage, and useful downstairs cloakroom. Practical family advantages include a gravel driveway, ample parking and a discreet double garage at the bottom of the garden. The well-maintained outside space provides safe lawns for children, a patio for entertaining and mature planting that creates year-round interest.
Buyers should note a few material points: the house is traditional solid-brick construction with no assumed cavity insulation, and the double glazing was installed before 2002 — both may mean further insulation or glazing upgrades are required to improve energy efficiency. Broadband speeds in the village are slow and mobile signal is average, which could affect home-working needs. Council tax is described as quite expensive and, as with many homes of this age, some modernisation may be wanted to suit contemporary tastes.
This property will particularly appeal to families seeking character, space and a peaceful village setting with good access to nearby towns and commuter links. It also suits buyers wanting a well-loved period home that offers scope to upgrade energy performance and personalise internally while keeping important period detail intact.
