This handsome and distinctive Grade II listed attached period property dates from around the mid 19th century and is situated on the corner of Kingsbridge Lane and West Street with local amenities on the doorstep.
It offers characterful accommodation which is presently arranged as a two-roomed retail shop with its own entrance and self-contained residential accommodation over two floors. The layout allows for various permutations as to its usage and could suit an owner occupier or investor.
The shop part was let until earlier this year and has an estimated current rental value of £9500 per annum whilst the residential part is let on an Assured Shorthold Tenancy, with vacant possession available with two months' notice.
Previous owners have included those who have lived in the residential part and run a business from the shop. There are connecting doors between the shop and living accommodation.The first floor is set-up as a living room which was formerly two bedrooms and could easily be re-instated. There is a large bedroom with spacious en-suite shower and a separate box room that was previously a shower room. The kitchen-day room on the ground floor has bi-fold doors opening to an attractive walled courtyard garden.
It may be possible subject to planning consent and any other required consents to make the property into a single private dwelling.
Ashburton is a sought-after town on the edge of Dartmoor with a great range of shops and ammenities. The A38 at Pear Tree gives easy access to the two Devon cities of Exeter and Plymouth, and the historic town of Totnes is around 20 minutes' by car.
