Occupying a choice position on North Street opposite ‘The Terrace’ hillside, this wonderful town house is less than a five minute walk from the town centre in one direction, and open countryside and the lanes leading up to Dartmoor in the other.
Ashburton has a truly excellent range of everyday independent shops including an award winning delicatessen, butchers, greengrocers, artisan bakery, fish deli, off licence and a thriving Post Office. Other amenities include medical and dental surgeries, Lloyds Pharmacy, primary and secondary schools, a well supported Community Arts Centre and selection of cafes/restaurants.
Road links are good with the A38 at nearby Peartree bringing both Plymouth and Exeter within comfortable commuting distance. The towns of Totnes and Newton Abbot are each around twenty minutes by car and have mainline railway stations with a London Paddington connection.
69a North Street is a most appealing Grade II listed town house with well presented accommodation spread over three floors. There is a lovely kitchen-dining room with wood-burner and outlook towards the rear garden, a cosy living room, three good sized double bedrooms and family bathroom. The house has many characterful features such as period fireplaces, exposed wood floor boards and sash windows.
An unusual and useful addition to the main accommodation is the ancillary outbuilding which has been converted from the part remains of two old cottages. This building has been updated in recent times and includes a utility room and shower room on the ground floor and landing room and larger room on the first floor (flying freehold, as part of the area below belongs to a neighbouring property). The part-walled garden is very attractive and includes a patio seating terrace with wood-burner and lawn with various shrubbery beds.
