" Occupied by the current vendor since originally converted, John German are delighted to be favoured with a rare and exciting instruction such as Mill House Barn; a superb four bedroom, two bathroom, four reception country home, nestled in the countryside yet just three miles from the centre of Ashby de la Zouch.

Tucked away in a tranquil hamlet yet only moments from the vibrant heart of Ashby, this exceptional barn conversion is a true one off. Thoughtfully crafted by esteemed local developer Lychgate Homes, the property showcases over 3,000 sq ft of impeccably designed and wonderfully adaptable living space blending timeless character with understated contemporary luxury. With four five bedrooms and two three bathrooms, the home offers a sophisticated yet welcoming layout, including an impressive formal dining room, an elegant sitting room, a study, and a bespoke family breakfast kitchen complete with an adjoining sitting area.

Occupying a beautifully landscaped plot of approximately 0.4 acres, the property enjoys mature gardens and an expansive, full width terrace offering an exceptional setting for both entertaining and quiet relaxation amidst the countryside.

Internally, this lovely barn has been sympathetically modified and improved into a stunning family home.

A rustic slate floor runs throughout the kitchen, setting the tone for this beautifully appointed space. Bespoke hand painted cabinetry lines two sides of the room, complemented by elegant marble countertops and a central island with breakfast bar and inset sink perfect for both cooking and casual dining. A stunning dresser style unit spans one wall, while a second run of cabinetry features a large inset Belfast sink with a mixer tap and a classic plate rack above. A cleverly designed corner pantry with shelving and integrated lighting completes this truly functional and stylish space.

Adjacent to the kitchen lies the inviting family room, with French doors opening onto the front walled garden and connecting doors leading to one of two studies ideal for those working from home.
