THE PROPERTY Step inside this remarkable three bedroom, Grade II Listed home and discover a seamless blend of historic character and modern comfort. With origins in the late medieval period and a sympathetic renovation - including a brand-new roof - this is a property where the past and present work perfectly in harmony.
The garden is a hidden, natural oasis- enclosed, peaceful and perfect for all seasons.
Behind its attractive 19th-century façade lies an interior full of atmosphere – original stud and panel walls, exposed beams, period fireplaces, deep window seats, and the kind of nooks and crannies only a historic home can offer. The house is filled with timeless details complemented by thoughtful modern touches that make this home as practical as it is beautiful.
Here, every surface tells a story, every corner feels lived-in yet loved - a room that wraps around you and makes you feel instantly at home.
GROUND FLOOR Head through the front door into the welcoming entrance hall that hints at the home's rich history, with character features setting the tone for what's to come. Just off the hall, the lounge is a wonderfully atmospheric space where whitewashed walls are framed by centuries-old timber screens and beams, and wooden floorboards run underfoot.
A deep sash window allows a gentle light to filter in, while the granite inglenook fireplace, with its wood-burning stove, provides an attractive focal point. Whether curled up with a book or enjoying the company of friends, this is a room that wraps you in warmth and character.
The kitchen is a well composed space that blends rustic charm with modern practicality. Slate flagstones provide a durable, character-rich foundation, while exposed beams and thick stone walls speak to the home's heritage. Bespoke cabinetry in a soft, neutral palette pairs with quartz worktops and a splash of colour from the tiled splashbacks, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. To one side, a practical utility area offers space for laundry and household storage, while on the other, a versatile storage/workroom offers endless possibilities – from a creative studio to a home office or pantry. From the kitchen, stone steps lead up to the dining area. Beyond, the space opens into a comfortable seating area where French doors frame views of the garden. Whether you're cooking, entertaining, or enjoying a quiet coffee, this arrangement makes the most of every corner, creating a welcoming and versatile hub for daily life.
FIRST FLOOR The main bedroom is a true feature of the home – a spacious and inviting haven with exposed A-frame roof timbers, a character fireplace and French doors opening onto a charming balcony with leads into the garden.
The two further double bedrooms each have their own personality – one with a sash window framed by a deep sill and seat, the other with period fireplace and a calm, restful feel.
The bathrooms continue the home's balance of old and new. The main bathroom is a showpiece, with a freestanding bath, timber panelling, and the warmth of natural materials, while the second En Suite bathroom offers a fresh, functional space with a shower-over-bath – both being perfect for guests or busy family life.
OUTSIDE The beautiful walled garden offers privacy and a sense of calm. From the terrace ideal for alfresco dining, to the attractively planted beds and stone steps leading to a sheltered courtyard, every corner invites you to linger a little longer.
The house is situated just a short stroll from Ashburton's independent shops, cafés, galleries and restaurants, you'll have the best of town living with Dartmoor National Park close by.
