Clitheroe is an imposing late Victorian brick-built house constructed circa 1897 and occupying a commanding position on the corner of St.Lawrence Lane.
It has extensive accommodation arranged over three floors with plenty of original Victorian features including a fine solid staircase, patterned tiled floors, panelled doors, ceiling cornice/roses and attractive fireplaces. There are five bedrooms, two with modern en-suites, and a family bathroom.
Clitheroe makes a lovely large family home and could also be suitable for B&B, multi-generational living or those working from home.
Outside, there is a small but well laid out garden which wraps around the property, with colourful shrubbery beds and original metal railings to the front plus a private decked patio seating area to the side – perfect for outdoor entertaining and with direct access to the dining room. There is a large public park positioned within a safe two minute walk via the pedestrian Blogishay Lane opposite the property.
A real bonus for such a conveniently located property are the garage and two car parking spaces.
Ashburton is a highly regarded town with excellent shops/amenities, a well suported community arts centre and numerous eateries, all of which are within a level walk of Clitheroe. There are primary and secondary schools within the town and the A38 Expressway brings Exeter and Plymouth within easy commuting distance.
