Chapel Lane, Ashley, TF9

***NO UPWARD CHAIN*** Give me simple country living, out in the fresh country air, so many places there is to live, but nothing really does compare. So if country living is what you’re looking for then fear not home-seekers, we have the perfect place for you. Nestled on the edge of the very pretty village of Ashley where you have a selection of convenient amenities helping keep the lovely village a welcoming and vibrant community. But along this quiet country lane you will discover a sensational period home tucked away, built, the owner believes, around 100 years ago with the most adorable story behind it. Named “Charity Farm” after it was apparently gifted to a family in the wake of charity funds raised by the local church goers, what a true testament to kindness and generosity of the good villagers who occupied here almost a century ago. But for the last 30 years, the same family have grown and developed their home into what it is today which now presents its self as a stunning, five double bedroom house with considerable living accommodation and sitting within a substantial plot of around 1.75 acres, one acre of that being a separate paddock. The gated entrance welcomes you on to the driveway where there is parking for multiple vehicles along with a double garage which leads to a separate workshop/store. The largest part of the gardens is to the front aspect which extends the length of the paddock next door, a playground dream for children and adults alike. The paddock can be accessed right in front of the house so perfect if you have a pony or other animals that you wish to have close by. Behind the house is another garden area with a large patio and garden, the ideal spot to sit alfresco dining with family and friends. The original front door is still in situ however after the current vendors extended the house, there is now another front entrance which leads into the open plan kitchen/diner. From here there are a set of stairs that lead to the first floor, a door that leads in to the utility room where two further doors lead out to the rear garden and into the double garage. Back to the kitchen you can head through to the older and original part of the house where the character feature really start to jump out at you. The inner hall provides another gateway to the first floor and a guest W.C then you’ll head into the stunning lounge with a beautiful dining space by the curvaceous bay window offering a sensational view of the beautiful front gardens. This rooms exudes the full character and charm that one would expect from a home of this era with exposed beams to the ceiling and opened up dividing walls. Imagine the best family gatherings, entertaining friends for a formal dinner party or seasonal celebrations, this is the room that you can feel is embedded with love, laughter and memories. Continuing through this wonderful room you’ll enter what is currently used a study but was the original entrance hallway and door and then on the right is the final reception room which makes for a cosy sitting room or children’s play room. As previously mentioned there are two stairs cases but the original one ascends from the older part of the house and from the landing you’ll discover three wonderful double bedrooms, along with a separate shower room and another full bathroom. Continue along the landing and this is where things get interesting. There is a door here which could be closed off to create a separate annexe for an older relative, teenager or your adult children who need somewhere to live whilst saving those hard earned pennies for their first home. With the separate staircase, what this side of the house offers is a huge 19ft square bedroom with en-suite shower room, but what it currently works as is a fifth bedroom with study area and a large entertaining room with en-suite which the owners have used for many things along with a spare room, games room with table tennis and pool table even a cinema room for cosy movie nights. Along with another bedroom which could be transformed into a kitchen. That completes the house tour so continuing outside for which we have already boasted about the immense amount of parking, double garage, huge garden to the front aspect, gorgeous patio and gardens to the rear, but on top of all that, there is also a 1 acre paddock which is accessed right ahead of you as you step outside via a five bar gate. So the good life is calling you people, this rare opportunity will not hang about so you’d better be quick to get yourself ready to buy your next dream home.
