Whistley House at 9 East Street is a large town property spread over three floors with numerous period features and housed within a Grade II listed building dating from the early 1800s.
It offers flexible accommodation, for sometime loosely arranged as two flats, of around 190 sq.m in total. Many rooms contain fireplaces and sash windows, and the original period staircase accessing the first floor is still in place.
The rooms at the front of the building take in pleasant views over the roof tops of neighbouring properties, St Lawrence Chapel and towards the green hills that form the backdrop for the town. The upper-most floor has an attic bedroom and a large attic storage space which would lend itself for conversion, subject to the required consents.
There are various open green public spaces nearby and an 'away' garden plot positioned within just a few hundred yards level walk is available by separate negotiation, if required.
Whistley House is located towards the lower 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 on the doorstep including a butchers, award winning deli, fish deli, post office, pharmacy, health centre and numerous 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.
