Ashburton, Devon

3 Bedroom Detached House for sale in Devon

SUMMARY Set back within its own generous gardens, the house sits comfortably within its plot, with mature planting softening the approach and framing the elevations.

The setting feels established and private, with the surrounding greenery creating a natural buffer from neighbouring properties. From the upper floors, there are glimpses across the wider landscape, reinforcing a connection to the countryside beyond.

The house presents as a handsome detached cottage, with stone elevations and a balanced appearance. It has been maintained over time and now offers scope for updating, with clear potential to refine the interior while retaining its original character. 

THE PROPERTY Accessed via a private pathway, an attractive open canopied porch leads into a central entrance hall, which provides access to the principal ground floor rooms.

The living room is well proportioned, with good natural light and a fireplace forming a focal point. Character features, including exposed stonework and timber detailing, remain in place and contribute to the overall feel of the space.

A cloakroom and useful storage are also positioned off the hall, with a door leading to the rear of the property and giving access outside.

The kitchen/dining room has a distinctly traditional feel, centred around the gas fired Rayburn 360, which acts as both a practical feature and a natural focal point. Timber detailing and the existing finishes contribute to its established, traditional character, with space for a dining table within the layout.

Fitted units provide ample storage, and there is a good amount of work surface, although the overall presentation would now benefit from updating. The space offers clear potential to be reworked or opened further, depending on requirements, while retaining its underlying character.

The first floor is arranged around a central landing, leading to the bedrooms.

The rooms vary in size, offering flexibility for different uses. Several retain period fireplaces, while others benefit from open aspects across the gardens and the surrounding area.

The layout is straightforward and adaptable, with scope to reconfigure if required.

The family bathroom is fitted with a traditional suite and serves the accommodation from the landing. While fully functional, it would now benefit from updating, in line with the wider improvement of the house, if so desired. 

OUTSIDE The gardens are beautiful and private and form a particularly important part of the property, extending around the house and giving a greater sense of space than is typically found in this setting.

Areas of lawn are interspersed with mature trees, shrubs and established planting, creating a settled and enclosed feel. Within the garden, there is a pond and areas that lend themselves to vegetable growing, adding a more productive element alongside the ornamental planting.

At the far boundary, double gates provide access to a further section of the plot, which has historically been used for additional parking and storage.

Within the garden there is also a summerhouse, along with additional garden storage.
