Description


This impressive Grade II listed property has an imposing frontage along East Street, one of the oldest roads within Ashburton, containing some of the town's most historic and architecturally notable buildings.

Moving to the outside, the property comes with a quality garden kitchen outbuilding which could be adapted to provide ancillary accommodation or home office/hobbies/studio space to the main house, subject to consents.

A secure courtyard with vehicular access at the side of the property along Hares Lane provides both a pleasant sitting-out space and parking, and lins up to a lovely secluded part-walled garden with lawn and wide variety of attractive shrubs and trees.

Location - Ashburton stands on the southern edge of Dartmoor National Park and whilst it is the largest town within the Park, has a village-like feel and spirit of community.

There is a great range of useful shops just five mintues' walk away including fish deli, artisan bakers, independent greengrocers, butchers, award winning delicatessen and pharmacy. Other close-to-hand amenities include the town Post Office, community arts centre, doctor's surgery, two dental practices and numerous cafes/eateries.

Accessibility is excellent with the A38 connecting Plymouth with Exeter and the national motorway network, whilst the towns of Totnes and Newton Abbot are both around twenty minutes by car and have mainline railway stations to London Paddington.
