Location - Ashby Parva is a charming village surrounded by some of south Leicestershire's most attractive open countryside, and has a traditional public house known as The Holly Bush and also a local church, situated towards the southernmost extremity of Leicestershire being only a half hour drive from Leicester’s city centre. It is in the LE17 postcode district and is a civil parish. The villages of Ullesthorpe, Leire and Bitteswell and Broughton Astley are close by. It falls within the district council of Harborough and is within easy reach of larger towns such as Lutterworth ( three miles away) and Rugby, all providing a variety of amenities such as edge of town super stores or uniquely bespoke shops. Essentially, Ashby Parva is geographically to the south-east of a triangle of motorway routes. It is west of the M1, with the M6 and M69 providing the potential for speedier travel by road from this central but rural, Midland location. There are two railway stations within easy reach at Rugby and Market Harborough, with regular high speed trains to London Euston and St. Pancras taking a little over one hour. The nearest airports are East Midlands, Birmingham and Coventry. In times past, the Domesday Book of 1086 records Parva Essebi, which is how Ashby Parva was identified. This name means a small settlement or farm by ash trees in the east. In 1277 it was made up of four separate manors and has mention of the unruly behaviour of parliamentary troops during the English Civil War. The local Anglican church of St Peter’s is a grade 11 listed building and can boast of a 19th century rector named William Clement Ley, who with the aid of his Nephoscope became the first man to identify and measure what is now known as the Jet Stream. He was known locally as the ‘weather prophet’ and people came from far and wide to read his weather forecast pinned on the church gates. Today, the village is still basically a linear settlement along a twisting main street surrounded by pastureland. There are fine examples of houses – once thatch rooves but now Swithland slate – from several centuries ago. Timber framed and red brick houses can be seen, with evidence of farms and back yards of river cobbles. The village hall is the principal village community building holding regular activities, events and festivals for all ages, abilities and interests. The inclusivity is promoted through such things as the scarecrow festival, pantomimes, Christmas fayres and the annual summer show. It also runs a community café. A good starting point for those new to the area would be to investigate ashbyparva.net/stoppress.htm.This is a helpful aid giving information relating to local medical services, dental practices and even refuse collection dates. The site bigbarn.co.uk/Leicestershire/Ashby-Parva has information about local food producers including farm shops and markets. There is not a local primary school in Ashby Parva but there is St Mary’s Church of England Primary School in Bitteswell, Dunton Bassett Primary and Lutterworth College for older students. The Office for Standards in Education - OFSTED – is best researched to provide a comprehensive review of currently rated standards of practice within all educational establishments in the locality. A Note From Our Vendor - When finalising our plans for the development of 1 Lammas, we did so with the objective of creating an extended, modern, ecological friendly property to present significant, flexible, and usable living space. We also wanted to ensure the next owners, had the opportunity to add their own unique requirements into their new home. Consequently, we have taken a number of carefully considered steps to achieve our objectives. First, we were particularly keen to incorporate the latest renewable energy efficient technology to give both economic and aesthetic benefit. This has been achieved by the inclusion of solar panels, an air source heat pump and underfloor heating throughout. All of which work amazingly to provide a warm, cozy and balanced feel throughout the home which has been built to the latest building standards focussed on creating heat retention and low running costs. Economically, the system performs exceptionally well, and we have illustrations available to show how the system creates significant savings in energy consumption endorsed by the EPC rating of B which only 3% of existing dwellings in the UK benefit from. Aesthetically, rather than mounting the solar panels on top of the roof tiles, we have integrated them flush to the roof line giving an unobtrusive view from the ground. Internally, having underfloor heating means that all walls benefit from being free from radiators thereby giving total freedom when considering the layout of rooms. Although not an entirely new property, we have been keen to provide 1 Lammas as virtually a blank canvass as per a new build. However, we are not leaving it there, and we have left scope for discussions on how we can help incorporate your personal choices into areas such as the flooring in the kitchen/dayroom/diner, garden layout and similar requirements prior to moving in.
