The Old Coach House, Ashby de la Zouch, Where heritage meets modern luxury
Just fallen head over heels with this stunning Victorian coach house that's been given the most beautiful makeover by renowned architect Robert Thompson...
The Story
Picture this: a late 19th-century coach house, lovingly restored with every original detail cherished, yet thoughtfully updated for today's lifestyle. Nestled in one of Ashby's most sought-after residential pockets, you're literally minutes from the bustling town centre, but step into that gorgeous south-east facing garden and you've found your own private sanctuary.
What Makes It Special
The Layout That Works Split-level living that just flows beautifully - from the welcoming entrance hall with those stunning Minton-style tiles, to the flexible snug (hello, perfect home office or guest room!), down to the heart of the home: that gorgeous open-plan living space. The kitchen? Absolute perfection with those chic units, neutral worktops, and premium Bosch & Smeg appliances that any home cook would dream of.
Upstairs Sanctuary Two generous bedrooms, both with their own en-suites (because who doesn't love hotel-style living?). The master is pure magic - vaulted ceilings creating this incredible sense of space and light, plus a Juliet balcony overlooking that established garden. It's like waking up in your own countryside retreat every morning.
The Garden & Parking
That south-east facing garden with its charming pergola is an absolute haven - perfect for morning coffee or evening drinks. And parking? Sorted. Two spaces right at the front with direct highway access. No shared driveways, no neighbour politics.
Why We're Obsessed
It's rare to find a property that balances historical charm with modern convenience so beautifully. The Robert Thompson design ensures every original feature has been preserved and celebrated, while the contemporary additions feel completely natural. At under 1000 sq ft, it's perfectly proportioned - no wasted space, just intelligent, stylish living.
Perfect for: First-time buyers wanting something special, downsiziers who refuse to compromise on style, or investors looking for a property with serious charm and rental appeal.
The Clever Touches
These are the details that show real thought that has gone into this renovation:
Future-ready: Pre-wired for EV charging (because we're all going electric, aren't we?)
Guest-ready: Utility room pre-plumbed for an additional shower
Luxury details: Heated towel rail in the master en-suite with independent electric
