East Street is one of the principal and oldest streets within the ancient stannary town of Ashburton, which stands on the southern boundary of Dartmoor National Park. The town is noted for its fine period buildings and architecture, and in recent years has gained a reputation as an antiques, food and arts centre.
There is a good choice of independent local shops and amenities including award winning post office, cafes/restaurants, health centre, many clubs and societies, community arts centre and primary and secondary schools.
The A38 Devon Expressway provides quick and easy access to the two Devon cities of Plymouth and Exeter, where the road joins the M5 motorway link. The rugged landscape of Dartmoor and the open moor are just a few minutes car journey away.
25 East Street is a double-fronted period building (not listed) with what is probably a Victorian facade, with earlier origins to the rear parts of the property.
The accommodation is spacious and the layout offers many permutations as to its usage. The front two ground floor rooms have in the past been a gallery and shop and currently make excellent home offices (and a fifth bedroom) for those wishing to work from home, with a handy WC also on the ground floor.
At the heart of the property is an impressive open-plan living space and kitchen measuring more than 35' in length and with attractive engineered oak floor, wood-burner and French doors connecting to the garden.
There are three double bedrooms, two bathrooms and another WC in the main part plus a fourth bedroom within an annexe to the rear of the ground floor of the property. The annexe is a contemporary and well designed space with open plan kitchen/living/bedroom and excellent shower room. We understand this currently provides a healthy income from holiday letting but could also be great for an extended family.
The garden is a real attraction and is of a good size for such a centrally located property and there is a useful side access from East Street. The garden is elevated, being accessible from the first floor living area, and benefits from the sun for most of the day.
