Homes in Ashby-de-la-Zouch
Ashby-de-la-Zouch is a historic market town with a ruined castle and a long main street of Georgian and Victorian buildings, many listed. The town was a spa in the nineteenth century, and some fine Victorian villas survive from that era. The town's Georgian and Victorian buildings include the former Royal Hotel and Ivanhoe Baths area, linked to its spa heyday.
Post-war estates and large new-build developments have expanded the town, making it popular with commuters. Ashby sits on the edge of the Leicestershire coalfield, and Moira nearby was a mining village. The National Forest surrounds the town. Mining legacy and the condition of older buildings are the main survey considerations. Moira's former colliery land has been redeveloped, with new homes and the Conkers visitor centre. Expect higher prices in the historic centre. Older homes may have cellars, while newer estates bring the usual snagging and estate charge questions.
Areas we cover include Packington, Blackfordby, Moira, Willesley, Lount.
