Property description
DESCRIPTION Situated on the edge of the main high street in the thriving Market town of Ashburton, Tudor house is an attractive Georgian Townhouse which has been lovingly restored to create a boutique Guest House.
A successful business utilised by visitors drawn to the towns location in the foothills of the Dartmoor National Park as well as the popular Ashburton Cookery School which bring a good level of business.
The Grade II Listed property is currently laid out to provide 4 Guest rooms as well as a Treatment room rented out to a local company, Kitchen and Dining room. The Treatment room was also designed as a disabled bedroom with Wet room also on the ground floor.
Subject to the relevant consents the property has potential to be converted back to a single dwelling with the current layout and conversion having been sympathetic to both uses. We would recommend that the conversion would provide a 3 - 6 Bedroom house over three stories or a conversion into the room (again subject to consent) would provide even further space in this beautiful old building.
LOCATION The stannary town of Ashburton offers a wide range of shops and facilities with streets lined with Artisan bakers, delis, butchers, ironmongers and more. The town is also home to one of the UK's leading cookery schools, 'The Ashburton Cookery School' which bring visitors to the town all year round.
The town has both a Primary School and Community College, and is located within the boundary of the Dartmoor National Park offering wide open spaces for scenic walks and riding.
Ashburton also benefits from excellent transport links being approximately 7 miles from Totnes and Newton Abbot with their direct rail links to London Paddington and Plymouth. The town also lies just off the A38 Devon Expressway giving easy access to Plymouth and Exeter and the M5 beyond.
