EweMove Ashby is offering this superb property, Located in the sought after village of Packington, this three-storey, six bed house really does have it all.
Rich in local history, this property was once the village post office, as well as a hairdresser, before being transformed into the beautiful family home that it is today.
To the front of the property is a large driveway which extends up the side of the house and leads to the double garage, which is situated at the bottom of the garden.

The garage is an absolutely incredible size and is currently being used for storage with an upstairs workshop. Subject to planning permission, this could be turned into a full workshop, granny annexe, studio or whatever else the heart desires.
The garage has electrics, water and a utility area. The garden is South-West facing and creates the perfect suntrap with paved, lawned and decked areas. Due to the house being much higher up than the houses at the back, it is not overlooked from the back at all. In fact, it is the tallest building in Packington! The property also benefits from solar panels, which are owned outright, that earn approximately £2000 per year.
The front door of the house is located on the side of the property and leads into a 'U-shaped' hallway, which gives access to many different rooms on the ground floor. The hallway has beautiful oak-engineered flooring which flows through into the lounge and dining room, as well as a great sized cupboard, ideal for storing shoes and coats. From the hall, there is a brilliant-sized reception room, currently used as a second lounge, which could have several uses including a playroom or a snug. There is also a downstairs toilet and an office from the hall, perfect for shutting the door and getting on with work.
There is an excellent-sized living room with a multi-fuel burner, ideal for those cold crisp nights, and a lovely bay window which makes the room bright and airy. This leads into the dining room which has double doors that can be easily opened and closed to control the use of the space to create a more open-plan living feel if desired.

The dining room leads into the kitchen diner, which is really the heart of the home. Due to having an island and plenty of cupboards with under unit lights, this would be the perfect space to host family and friends for dinner parties.
There is a range cooker and spaces for a dishwasher and microwave, as well as plenty of room for a freestanding fridge freezer. A utility room leads off from the kitchen and this houses the Worcester boiler and also has space for a washing machine and dryer. An air-conditioned conservatory also comes off the kitchen and leads to the garden via both double and single doors and offers a great space to relax and enjoy the views of the garden with a glass of wine.
On the first floor, there are five fantastic-sized bedrooms, four of which are doubles. These bedrooms have plenty of storage space with four of them having built-in wardrobes. The main bedroom is also on this floor and it really is impressive! With a large window and a set of French doors that lead onto a balcony with incredible views, this bedroom really is something! Not only does it have ample space, but it also has an ensuite which has both a bath and a separate shower.

The family bathroom is also on the first floor and has a 'P-shaped' bath with a waterfall shower, allowing for that extra space to shower in.
On the second floor, there is a sixth bedroom which is another fantastic-sized double with velux windows that show off the fantastic views of Packington. Additionally on this floor is a shower room, with a toilet, sink and shower.
There is also a great amount of storage in the eaves, accessible from both the bedroom and the landing.
Packington is a quiet, sought after village, just outside of the town of Ashby de la Zouch. Close to good schools and within the catchment area for Ashby High Schools, the location is perfect for families. Packington is also the perfect commuter village, as it has good links to the M42.
