There is much more to Thornfield Way than first meets the eye.

Built by Avant Homes in 2018, this three-bedroom semi-detached home forms part of the established Aslakr Park development, created within the village of Aslockton.

Offering over 1,120 sq ft of accommodation, the house has been thoughtfully designed from the outset, with generous proportions, excellent storage and a level of specification that extends throughout the property.

The original Avant Homes specification is one of the home's understated strengths. The kitchens and bathrooms were designed as an integral part of the development, with attention given to presentation, practicality, storage and the way each room would actually be used.

Since purchasing the property in 2023, the current owner has continued to enhance the home, adding wardrobes to all three bedrooms, additional storage within the entrance hall & airing cupboard, bespoke Shuttercraft shutters to all three bedroom windows and the kitchen window. The shutters are not only an attractive feature, but provide additional privacy together with useful heat and noise insulation, while enhancing the property's kerb appeal.

Most notably, they have added a substantial Garden Room, creating a genuine additional space away from the main house. Fully insulated and equipped with power, lighting and additional internet connection. The corner window also benefits from inset INTU fitted Venetian blinds, providing a neat, integrated finish while allowing light and privacy to be easily controlled. It is a versatile space designed for modern living — whether used as a home office, reading room, hobby space or simply somewhere to retreat and relax.

And then there is the position.

Set towards the outer edge of Aslockton, the property enjoys an immediate connection with nature and the surrounding countryside of the Vale of Belvoir. It is a home where a walk with the dog can begin almost from the doorstep, where the garden becomes part of the living space and where dramatic skies, changing views and beautiful pink sunsets provide a constantly evolving backdrop to everyday life.

GROUND FLOOR

ENTRANCE HALL

The property begins with a generous entrance hall, creating a welcoming sense of arrival and providing useful space for coats, shoes and everyday belongings.

The current owner has added further storage here, making excellent use of the generous proportions and helping keep the main living spaces beautifully uncluttered.

From the hall, the accommodation flows naturally to the Sitting Room, Dining Kitchen and Cloakroom, with the staircase rising to the first floor.

The layout immediately gives a sense that this is a home where space has been properly considered rather than simply allocated.

SITTING ROOM

The sitting room is a wonderfully light and well-proportioned principal reception room, with impressive large bi-fold doors opening directly onto the garden.

When open, the doors create an almost seamless connection between the house and outside, allowing the garden to become a natural extension of the living space. When closed, the outlook is like a large changing painting, with the garden, sky and seasons providing a constantly evolving backdrop.

The current owner has particularly enjoyed the wonderful pink sunsets visible from here, adding a lovely sense of place and giving this room its own story.

A further thoughtful detail is the inset INTU Venetian blinds fitted within the bi-fold doors, allowing the owners to control light and privacy while retaining the clean lines of the glazing.

DINING KITCHEN

The kitchen is a particularly good illustration of the quality and level of specification originally offered by Avant Homes across Aslakr Park.

Presented in a sophisticated two-tone combination of matt and gloss cabinetry, the kitchen has a contemporary appearance while remaining exceptionally practical.

There is no shortage of storage. The cabinetry makes excellent use of the available space, including full-height storage, with the layout designed so that very little space is wasted.

Integrated appliances include a fridge freezer, dishwasher, oven and microwave, while the impressive large black glass gas hob creates a striking focal point.

The clean-lined cabinetry, generous preparation areas, splashback and integrated appliances give the kitchen a quality finish that remains highly appealing today.

The dining area sits naturally alongside the kitchen, with plenty of space for a good-sized dining table and a sociable setting for everyday family meals or entertaining.

What is particularly noticeable is the efficiency of the design. Every part of the kitchen has a purpose, with storage and working space carefully considered rather than allowing areas to become wasted.

This is a kitchen designed not simply to look good, but to work exceptionally well for everyday life.

LAUNDRY ROOM

A dedicated laundry space provides room and plumbing for both a washing machine and tumble dryer, keeping laundry facilities conveniently separate from the main kitchen.

For a three-bedroom home, having properly allocated laundry provision is a particularly useful feature and contributes to the practical nature of the ground-floor layout.

CLOAKROOM

The ground-floor cloakroom is generously proportioned, offering considerably more usable space than the compact cloakrooms often found in modern three-bedroom homes.

Its position directly from the hall makes it convenient for everyday family life and visiting guests.

FIRST FLOOR

The staircase rises from the entrance hall to a central first-floor landing, from which the three bedrooms and bathroom accommodation are accessed independently.

The upstairs layout is equally well considered, with the bedrooms offering useful proportions and storage.

PRINCIPAL BEDROOM

The principal bedroom is a generous and comfortable room with space for substantial bedroom furniture.

The current owner has improved wardrobe storage, providing excellent practical storage while retaining useful floor space.

The room benefits from its own contemporary en-suite shower room.

EN-SUITE SHOWER ROOM

The en-suite is a particularly strong example of the standard and presentation originally provided by Avant Homes.

At its centre is a generous walk-in rain shower with digital operation, giving the room a luxurious and contemporary feel.

A stylish floating wash hand basin with vanity storage beneath provides useful everyday storage, while an additional full-length wall-mounted vanity cupboard provides further generous storage without compromising the clean appearance of the room.

The room features contemporary sanitaryware, tiling and a sleek shower screen, luxury vinyl flooring, complemented by a heated towel rail.

The result is a beautifully finished space that combines quality, storage and practicality.

BEDROOM TWO

Bedroom Two is a further well-proportioned double bedroom, positioned to the front of the property.

The current owner has installed wardrobe storage, making excellent use of the room and providing useful built-in storage for everyday living.

BEDROOM THREE

Bedroom Three is another well-proportioned room, again benefiting from wardrobe storage added by the current owner.

It offers flexibility according to the needs of its next owner and could work equally well as a bedroom, child's room, dressing room or home office.

FAMILY BATHROOM

The family bathroom continues the contemporary standard of the en-suite.

It features a rain shower over the bath, providing the flexibility of both bathing and showering.

There is a concealed-cistern WC, contemporary wash hand basin with vanity drawer beneath, luxury vinyl flooring and a heated towel rail.

The walls are fully tiled creating a smart and easy-to-maintain finish.

The generous proportions and carefully considered positioning of the sanitaryware contribute to a room that feels practical as well as stylish.

THE GARDEN

Outside, the current owner have continued to improve the property.

The garden benefits from a particularly generous patio, offering plenty of room for a substantial outdoor dining or lounge set and creating a wonderful space for entertaining, relaxing and enjoying the garden. Larger than the patio areas typically provided with modern new-build homes, it adds a real sense of practicality and makes the most of the outdoor space.

Beyond the patio, the garden is laid to lawn, providing a good balance between entertaining space and open garden.

A large shed provides ample additional storage for gardening equipment, bicycles and household items.

The driveway comfortably accommodates two cars, and an EV charging point is already in place.

THE GARDEN ROOM / POD

Added by the current owner in 2024, the Garden Room is one of the property's most significant enhancements.

This is far more than a garden office. It is a wonderfully generous additional reception offering a further 120 sq ft of space, currently arranged with room for a desk, library and comfortable seating.

The owner chose double doors together with additional windows to the corner and rear, creating excellent natural light throughout and allowing the room to feel connected to its garden surroundings. The corner window also benefits from inset INTU fitted Venetian blinds, providing a neat, integrated finish with the flexibility to control light and privacy.

Fully insulated and equipped with power, lighting and additional internet connection, it provides an exceptional space for working from home, but its versatility extends far beyond that.

It could equally become a studio, reading room, hobby space, separate sitting room or simply a peaceful retreat away from the main house.

It provides something increasingly valuable in modern living — a genuine additional room with separation from the main house, while still being just steps away.

STORAGE & LOFT

Storage is a recurring strength throughout this home.

The generous entrance hall & airing cupboard has been enhanced with additional storage, all three bedrooms have wardrobes added by the current owners, and there is dedicated laundry provision alongside a downstairs cloakroom.

The kitchen itself provides excellent storage, while the large garden shed provides further useful outdoor storage.

The current owner has also partially boarded the loft, providing additional storage capacity.

The roof pitch creates an interesting area which a future owner may wish to explore further, subject to the necessary planning permission, building regulations and any other relevant consents.

ASLOCKTON — VILLAGE LIFE WITH NATURE ON THE DOORSTEP

The location is perhaps one of the property's greatest attractions.

Aslakr Park sits within the village of Aslockton, surrounded by the open countryside of the Vale of Belvoir. Positioned towards the outer edge of the village, the setting is particularly appealing, with nature and open landscape beginning almost from the doorstep.

For dog owners, walkers and anyone who simply enjoys being outdoors, this is a wonderful advantage. Step outside and within moments you can leave the immediate development behind and enjoy the surrounding countryside, watch the changing seasons and enjoy the freedom of rural life.

Yet this is far from an isolated rural setting.

Aslockton has a lovely sense of community, with village amenities, places to meet and opportunities to get involved locally. Larder, the village shop and deli, provides a wonderful local resource for everyday essentials, fresh produce and those little treats that make village life feel special. Cranmer Arms offers the traditional village pub experience and a place to meet friends and neighbours.

The village also has a range of clubs, sporting activities and community groups, providing opportunities to get involved, socialise and meet others. The Thomas Cranmer Centre provides an important community hub for local activities and events.

It is this combination that makes Aslockton so appealing — a village where countryside walks can begin from the doorstep, where you can pop to the deli, meet friends for a drink, get involved with village life and still enjoy excellent connections further afield.

LOCATION & CONNECTIONS

For those needing to travel beyond the village, the position is equally practical.

Bingham, less than 3 miles away, provides a wider range of shops, supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, leisure facilities and everyday services.

Aslockton railway station is within walking distance, providing an alternative to the car for journeys towards Nottingham and beyond.

For road connections, the A52, A46 and A1 provide access towards Nottingham, Grantham, Newark, Leicester and the wider East Midlands.

Grantham offers further shopping, amenities and a mainline railway station, while Nottingham, Newark and Leicester are all accessible for wider employment, leisure and cultural opportunities.

This gives the property that balance that is increasingly sought after — the peace and freedom of village and countryside living, without giving up the convenience of being well connected.

SCHOOLS

For families, education is another important consideration.

Archbishop Cranmer Church of England Academy is located within Aslockton and provides primary education for children aged 4–11. The school was judged Outstanding at its December 2023 Ofsted inspection.

For secondary education, Toot Hill School in nearby Bingham provides education from 11 through to sixth form. Its latest full Ofsted inspection judged the school Good overall, with Outstanding judgements for personal development and sixth-form provision.

Prospective purchasers should make their own enquiries with the relevant admissions authorities regarding current catchments, admissions criteria and availability of places.

THE ASLAKR PARK STORY

There is an interesting story behind the development itself.

Aslakr Park was created by Avant Homes, with the homes designed around contemporary family living and the principle of providing “more home to begin with.”

The original development specification included features such as individually designed kitchens, integrated appliances, bi-fold doors and Hive smart energy technology, alongside carefully considered bathroom accommodation and storage.

The emphasis was on creating homes that were not only attractive, but practical and generous in their proportions.

First sold in October 2018 and has now matured into an established home within the village.

The current owner has continued to improve it since purchasing in 2023, with changes that have been driven by the way they actually live — additional bedroom storage, improved entrance storage & airing cupboard and the creation of the substantial Garden Room/Pod.
