Beautiful secluded bungalow in sought-after Ashby De La Launde, well away from overcrowded 'cliff villages'. Ashby is the dream location for those who want to 1) enjoy peace and quiet location with no pub and shops for miles, but 2) don't want to live 'miles from anywhere' to get them!

This house is top-quality brick built and tile-roofed and is solidly constructed in the old style. having lived in 'modern' houses where everything starts disintegrating after 8 years I can tell you there are no glued-on skirting boards and cardboard walls here. If you want to hang paintings, make sure you have a good supply of Rawlplugs!. If you want privacy, it's almost hidden by tall hedges on 3 sides. The beautiful conifer west hedge being over 10 ft tall. In fact the house is invisible from the only road thru Ashby unless you're right at the front gate.


Ashby De La Launde is quite unique. It came into existance as a country estate with Hall, Farm and some of the old village properties. It is set right in the middle of beautiful rural landscape and according to internet searches I have done there are only about 100 addresses in the village and few ever go there that don't live there - and the road thru (mainly farm and RAF Digby traffic) is virtually silent at night.

Hard-pressed estate agents will never do justice to this property! That's why it's here. What you'd be buying into here is a QUIET rural location and Lord knows, there are few of them left anywhere. It took us 2 years to find! Check out Ashby! Blink and you'll never notice you drove thru it but if you love the country you'll love it.

40 Main St is far enough from over-crowded Navenby and Wellingore other 'so-called 'sought after locations' on the old Grantham road to be worth relocating to even from there! On the other hand, it's close enough to enjoy their amenities from a repsectable distance and only minutes from the A15 Sleaford to Lincoln road only 20 min/1/2hr drive to Lincoln if you leave before 7am.

The house has been recently been 90% redecorated and is in excellent condition. It comprises hall, spacious lounge with bay window and log fire, a separate dining room large easily enough for 6 seated with sliding 'French door' access to the terrace, fully fitted 'English Kitchens' kitchen with solid wood cupboards, ceramic sink, wood-effect flooring, modern electric cooker. The whole house and annex is carpeted, the carpets in the dining room and sitting room are particularly thick and attractive.

There are 2 double bedrooms both with fitted wardrobes, and one spacious single, a fully-fitted bathroom c/w with bath and shower, and a very large annex (where the second WC is located) and which is currently unused but could EASILY be converted to a bedroom, maisonette or office. The whole house has oil central heating (boiler recently serviced), recent cavity wall insulation and VERY thick and detailed loft insulation in house and annex professionally installed and certified by the Mark Group. Recent Anglia UPVC double glazing on all windows except the garage, burglar alarm, (recently serviced), anti-pick doors front and rear of house, very large patio and terrace.

The garage is LARGE and adjoins the house with access front and rear. It is plumbed for the washing machine. Mature gardens on 3 sides with with a wealth of birdlife. On one side, road, two others fields with NO planning permission and the other VERY nice neighbours who have recently extended and improved their house in the most sympathetic way. 40 main St is overlooked atthe front drive only. That drive can easily accomodate parking for 3 cars and be secured via the main gate. The house itself is situated pretty well in the middle of the plot and the garage near borders the right boundary. The property owns the boundaries on 3 sides (fence and/or hedge) and co-owns the 4th.

The house is being sold quite simply because it is WAY TOO BIG for the needs of me and my wife (who both work in Lincoln) since our daughter moved away.

Nearly all the fixtures, fittings and appliances etc are available to buy either in the package dependent on offer or separately. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate this outstanding bungalow.
