Description
NEARBY LAND AND STABLES AVAILABE BY SEPARATE NEGOTIATION - Overlooked by the main house with its access just down the lane there is a perfect equestrian set-up of some 10.74 acres (as measured on Promap) with quality stables/yard and sand school available by negotiation if required, further details available from our offices on request.
Situated in one of Ashburton's most desirable areas, Lower Lawn occupies an accessible and private location, around a mile from the town in the valley of the River Dart. Surrounded by picturesque countryside, the property enjoys excellent communications via the A38 at Peartree to the region's two cities of Plymouth and Exeter.
Ashburton, which is a ten minute walk over Bowden Hill, has a great range of everyday shops and amenities along with numerous cafes/eateries and a well supported community arts centre. The larger town of Totnes is around twenty minutes' drive to the south and has a mainline railway station with direct link to London Paddington. The spectacular landscape of Dartmoor is just along the Dart Valley and the south Devon Coast is within easy reach.
Lower Lawn occupies a commanding site overlooking its own landscaped gardens with views between the trees towards Dartmoor. Originally built in the 1950s for the developer of the prestigious 'Knowle Close', the house was acquired by the current owners in 2004 who extended and remodelled the accommodation to make a fine family home.
The accommodation is particularly light and has a crisp, clean, modern feel with a feeling of solidity and quality, whilst retaining a nod to its 1950s roots. Currently arranged as a spacious five bedroomed family-orientated home, there is potential to easily create an annexe for multi-generational living or perhaps a letting unit (subject to any required consents).
The gardens and grounds of 0.95 acres (as measured on Promap) provide a wonderful private setting for Lower Lawn and are planted with an impressive range of plants and trees, enough to pique the interest of the keenest of gardeners. There are several drives affording parking for multiple vehicles and planning has previously been granted for a detached three car garage, this is in addition to the existing large integral garage.
