Versatile family home with studio, garage and strong commuter links.
South-facing large private garden with patio and wildlife pond
A substantial four-bedroom detached cottage on the edge of Ashburton, Rose Cottage combines traditional character with a large, south-facing garden and flexible living space suited to family life. The property’s open-plan modern extension and conservatory flood the rear with light, while original features such as exposed beams and a stone fireplace create cosy living areas. A separate, heated home office/studio and a large double garage with mezzanine storage offer practical workspace and storage for hobbies or business use.
Set on a generous plot with gated driveway parking for 3+ cars and potential to create additional parking (STP), the house sits conveniently for Dartmoor, local schools and the A38 commuter route to Exeter and Plymouth. The layout includes three reception rooms plus the large kitchen/diner — ideal for family meals and entertaining — and four double bedrooms upstairs with a family bathroom and a further ground-floor shower room.
Buyers should note several material considerations: the property has spray-foam insulation (agents’ note), solid brick walls with assumed no cavity insulation, and an EPC rating of D. There is a medium flood risk for the area and council tax is above average. These factors may affect future running costs or require remedial work. Overall, this home offers space, privacy and versatile outbuildings for families seeking countryside-edge living with good commuter links and strong local amenities.
