North Gate House is attractively situated along Stapledon Lane, one of Ashburton’s oldest and most picturesque roads, rich with period properties. The town's excellent local shops and amenities such as a bakery, fish deli, butchers, award winning delicatessen, numerous cafes/eateries, post office, Co-op store and pharmacy are just a short, easy walk away. There are two dental practices, doctors surgery and a well supported community arts centre.
Ashburton lies just off the A38 which links the two Devon cities of Exeter and Plymouth. The rugged splendour of Dartmoor, with its wide open spaces, is just a few minutes by car.
Northgate House is a truly one-off home brimming with charm and character. Behind its natural stone and part slate-hung walls lies an inviting interior spread over three levels and featuring exposed timbering and cottage windows.
Outside, there is a delightful secluded walled garden with various seating areas on different levels and space to park a car or two, a rare find with such a centrally located property.
