Hares Lane is attractively situated off East Street within the much sought-after Dartmoor town of Ashburton. It is a minor, no-through narrow lane with attractive high stone walls and is suitable for smaller vehicles.
At the lower end of Hares Lane is a pedestrian path (Love Lane) which provides easy level access to the town centre, via St Lawrence Lane. Ashburton has a superb range of independent shops along with two Co-op stores, an award winning post office, pharmacy and numerous eateries. There are two dental practices, doctor's surgery and a well supported community arts centre.
The town lies on the southern boundary of Dartmoor National Park with the open-moor just a few minutes drive. The nearby A38 Expressway brings the two Devon cities of Plymouth and Exeter within easy commuting distance.
Set within a good sized garden, Laureston is a most appealing one-off detached chalet-style house with views to the green hills that surround Ashburton.
It offers flexible accommodation with nicely balanced rooms and large windows flooding the property with natural light. There are currently two first floor double bedrooms (one with dressing area) plus a smaller ground floor bedroom (currently a study) with an en-suite. There is sufficient space to reconfigure the accommodation to create a fourth bedroom if desired.
Outside, the gardens are laid out in various areas of interest including a good expanse of gently sloping lawn, paved seating areas and some attractively terraced parts, capturing the sun at different times of the day. A rare feature for a central town property is the parking forecourt at the far end of the garden with space for several cars plus a useful outbuilding comprising two garages plus a workshop around the size of a double garage. This building lends itself to all sorts of opportunities and alternative uses, subject to the required consents.
