A country home near Ashby that is Grade II-listed has hit the market, with an asking price of £1.4 million. The 'handsome' Donisthorpe Hall building sits in 4.7 acres of land off Hall Lane in the village, near Measham.

The seven-bed hall is believed to date back to the 1600s, with some Victorian additions in recent centuries, reports Derbyshire Live. Features such as high ceilings, deep skirting boards and sash windows abound throughout the striking building.

On the ground-floor of the main house, visitors will find a Victorian porch, two drawing rooms - one with an open fire, a dining room, a family room and a large kitchen. The half-landing of the first staircase gives way to the first suite, with stunning views of the formal garden, a dressing room and en-suite.

The staircase then continues to the first-floor where there are three further bedrooms and a family bathroom. The second-floor has further three more generous bedrooms, one of which has a walk-in wardrobe, and there's also a four-piece bathroom.

This impeccable attention to detail continues in the outbuildings, which have been converted to provide additional accommodation, along with an office and gym.
