Designed and built by Ward Country Homes, Ascele House is one of the finest new-build properties to come to the market in recent times, positioned on a plot approaching 2.5 acres and traditionally built on an ironstone plinth with farmhouse orange brick elevations under a reclaimed Welsh slate roof with lead hips, the property boasts over 5,000 square feet of accommodation and has a 10-year warranty.
This striking family home has been constructed to the highest specifications and exacting standards. Features such as hand-built carpentry throughout including the kitchen by Messrs Alexandra Lewis, cast iron/aluminium guttering, hardwood framed double-glazed window units, solid wood front and rear doors, underfloor heating to the ground/first floor, Geberit and Duravit sanitary ware and aluminium Crittall French doors all contribute to provide the perfect blend of traditional charm and contemporary design, creating the ambience of a period rectory with the efficiency of a newly built home, including solar thermal heating panels and air source heat pump.
Ashley is a pretty, stone conservation village nestled on the borders of Northamptonshire and Leicestershire within the Welland Valley, surrounded by some of the most picturesque countryside in the East Midlands and adjoining Leicestershire with the County of Rutland.
The village is historically recorded as early as 1086 as “Ascele” meaning ‘clearing in the woods’ – at that time a hamlet comprising just 320 people and 73 houses within the large hunting grounds of Rockingham Forest. Today, this thriving village offers a farm shop, playground,
The George public house, and sporting facilities including a tennis court, cricket net, Pétanque court, and the vO Polo Club with restaurant. Nearby villages include Medbourne with a shop, The Nevill Arms Pub, football and tennis clubs. Weston by Welland with the Wheel & Compass public house and Nevill Holt with its cricket club and annual festival throughout June; a fantastic venue with many different genres of entertainment.
