Description
Westdown Cottage is an end property in a row of three estimated to date from the Victorian period. It has characterful accommodation with good room sizes including a living room with cosy wood-burner and a kitchen-diner with an oil-fired Rayburn range. There is potential to extend the property, subject to the required consents.
Outside, a well planted level garden provides plenty of interest for the keen gardener and there is a useful stone barn/outbuilding with electric and water connected. This is currently used as a workshop/store but would make a great studio/home office or even a small overnight letting unit, subject to the required consents. A garage with adjoining wood store is postioned by the roadside and there is parking for a couple of cars at the side of the cottage plus a small walled front reception garden.
Caton consists of a handful of properties located just off the A38, around a mile or so from Ashburton, and within the southern boundary of Dartmoor National Park. It is an extremely accessible spot for access to the moor and the road network for Exeter and Plymouth. Ashburton provides a really good range of shops and everyday amenities, and a wider range of facilities can be found in the larger market town of Newton Abbot, about 15 minutes by car.
Directions - From Ashburton, take the A38 in the Exeter direction and proceed for about one mile, and the turning to Caton will be found on the left, just before the Bickington/Newton Abbot turn off. Once off the A38, the property will be found after a short distanace on the left.
