Located in the highly regarded village of Ashby Folville is this individual barn conversion benefiting from a wealth of character and original features dating back to the 15th century. This was the former stables to The Manor which were converted in the late 1980s into spacious and well arranged homes. Grade II listed* the barn conversion has a wealth of space and character with high ceilings, exposed beams and the original tie rings to the ground floor. The accommodation comprises a welcoming reception hall, lounge, separate dining room, fitted kitchen and cloaks/WC. On the first floor are three double bedrooms, an en-suite and separate bathroom.
