Set on a very large, well-landscaped corner plot backing directly onto Willesley Golf Club, this distinguished 1930s detached house offers an exceptional development opportunity in one of Ashby de la Zouch's most sought-after locations. The existing home extends to about 2,000 sq ft across two storeys and retains period character including bay windows, original fireplaces and generous reception rooms arranged around a practical circulation. Off-street parking, gated driveway and an established west-facing garden are immediate lifestyle benefits.
Full planning permission has been granted for a dramatic extension and remodel to create an approximately 5,000 sq ft bespoke family house, with proposed accommodation including five spacious bedrooms, three contemporary bathrooms, a triple garage, boot room and a 40-foot living/dining room overlooking the garden. Approved architectural drawings by a recognised local practice provide a clear route to deliver a high-specification family home and reduce upfront design risk for a buyer intending to build.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the property is freehold, has mains gas central heating, double glazing and very good mobile signal, but broadband speeds are slow. The house was built in the 1930s and will require careful updating during the transformation; the council tax band is above average. Transport links are strong (easy access to the M42, East Midlands Airport c.15 miles, and rail connections to Birmingham, Leicester and London), and excellent independent schools are within easy reach.
This opportunity will suit a growing family seeking long-term privacy and countryside outlooks, or an investor/developer wanting a permitted redevelopment in a prestigious setting. The approved plans create a clear vision; buyers should factor in build costs, programme and standard checks around services and finishes before committing.
