One of the most unique properties that we have seen for sometime, 71 East Street is a Grade II listed period terraced building with an abundance of characterful features. The accommodation includes two reception rooms each with large fireplaces and heavily timbered ceilings. There are slate and wood floors, an intriguing staircase and three generous sized bedrooms, plus Jack and Jill bathroom.
Outside at the rear lies a lovely walled garden with established shrubs/trees and handy rear access into Roborough Lane. There is a courtyard with garden store, a larger garden room (potential home office/studio) and a garden implements store.
71 East Street is located towards the upper end of East Street, one of the oldest roads within the historic South Dartmoor town of Ashburton. The town is noted for its fine period buildings many of which are of architectural and historical note. There are excellent local shops and amenities including post office, pharmacy, health centre and cafes/restaurants, all of which are within convenient walking distance of the property. There are primary and secondary schools within the town.
Ashburton lies just off the A38 Devon expressway which links the two Devon cities of Plymouth and Exeter where the road joins the M5 motorway. The market town of Newton Abbot lies about 8 miles to the south.
