East Street, Ashburton

Garden Cottage is attractively set to the rear of East Street in a delightful private walled garden accessed via the original cart entrance/passage. Converted from a traditional stone building and understood to be listed, the accommodation is arranged over two floors and has numerous character features. The garden is completely enclosed by lovely natural stone walling and contains many shrubs and trees providing shady seating spots from the summer sun, and there is a large older timber work shed with electric connected.

East Street is one of the principal and oldest streets within the ancient Stannary town of Ashburton, which stands on the southern boundary of Dartmoor National Park. The town is noted for its fine period buildings and architecture, and in recent years has gained a reputation as an antiques, food and arts centre.

There is a good choice of independent local shops and amenities including award winning post office, cafes/restaurants, health centre, many clubs and societies, community arts centre and primary and secondary schools.

The A38 Devon Expressway provides quick and easy access to the two Devon cities of Plymouth and Exeter, where the road joins the M5 motorway link. The rugged landscape of Dartmoor and the open moor are just a few minutes car journey away.
