Description

Occupying an elevated hillside position with views to the green hills surrounding Ashburton, Park House and Park House Cottage presents an unusual opportunity to acquire a very spacious two-family home, or home and income proposition.

Offered to the market for the first time since 1987, the main house has generous sized rooms including a 32' x 18' main reception room, off which is an indoor swimming pool (in need of re-commissioning). A staircase and internal lift (not in current use) leads from the lower ground floor where there is a very large integral garage.

The attached annexe, Park House Cottage, is of a more conventional layout and extends to around 158 sq.m. There is a connecting door to the main house on the first floor and a good sized integral garage on the ground floor.

A driveway from Western Road sweeps up to the property with a covered car port and plenty of parking. The hillside site extends in total to around one acre and has a south-facing aspect. There is a level area with outdoor swimming pool, in need of re-commissioning.

Western Road connects with the town centre and has easy access to the A38 for Plymouth and Exeter at Pear Tree. The town centre with its excellent range of shops and amenities, including a well supported community arts centre, is an easy few minutes' walk away. There are primary and secondary schools within the town, both within walking distance. Ashburton lies on the southern boundary of Dartmoor National Park and the spectacular landscape of the open moor is just a few minutes drive away.

Flood Risk

Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.

Rivers and the sea
