Spacious multi-unit property with large garden and parking near Dartmoor.
Seven bedrooms across main house and separate two-bed cottage
A rare period semi-detached home with an attached two-bedroom cottage sits tucked away in Ashburton, on the edge of Dartmoor National Park. The main house offers five bedrooms across three floors, original features such as gothic windows, beam ceilings and ornate stair balustrades, and large reception rooms that suit family life. The adjacent cottage provides independent accommodation ideal as an annex or short-term let, giving flexibility for multi-generational living or rental income.
Outside, gated parking and a large level walled garden are notable strengths, with well-stocked borders, a workshop and views toward Ashburton church. Heating is provided by a mains-gas boiler and radiators. The property’s granite walls reflect its age and character but are likely to lack modern insulation, so fabric upgrades should be expected for thermal efficiency.
Buyers should be aware of clear drawbacks: the site records a high flooding risk and, as a pre-1900 building, some elements (windows, glazing, internal fittings) are dated and may need upgrading. The combined layout and sizeable total floor area (approximately 2,334 sq ft) create strong potential for renovation, conversion or income generation, but factor in refurbishment costs and specialist work for a period property in a sensitive location.
Well placed for schools, local services and A38 links to Exeter and Plymouth, this property will suit families seeking space and character with scope to modernise, and purchasers wanting an annex or holiday-let opportunity. Viewings recommended to assess accommodation size and garden setting in person.
