Originally a bungalow, this bespoke-build home has evolved into a comprehensive family home. Finished to the highest possible standards, nothing has been overlooked in the finer details.

From comprehensive CCTV and alarm systems - to guarantee peace of mind whichever wing of the home you are in - to elegant architraves and ornate motif Karndean flooring, sumptuous bathroom suites to secret pockets of storage cleverly concealed throughout, Ashleigh is a home like no other.

Beyond the electric gates, a large, integral garage can easily house two or three cars, with room for a number more on the driveway. Peacefully set, evergreen shrubs, heathers, trees and planting create a private and pleasant landscaped front garden; the perfect precursor to the handsome home beyond.

Designed without drainpipes to the front, no plastic gutters greet guests upon arrival at Ashleigh, instead an arched, glazed entrance, leading through to a large porch.

A wall of leaded lights, with stained glass features, cascades illumination through onto the polished motifs of the Karndean floor of the entrance hall.

Oak veneer panelling coats the walls, with solid oak coving and chair rail completing the studious look. Wall lights, made to fit the panelling are neatly inset, with views out to the manicured front garden. Warmth exudes from the underfloor heating beneath the Karndean.
