DESCRIPTION A substantial Townhouse with gated parking and exceptional walled gardens - discreetly positioned in the heart of Ashburton. Tucked away along Blogishay Lane, moments from Ashburton's vibrant centre, Greenaway Lodge is a rare and compelling period home.
Arranged over three generous floors and offering flexible 4/5 bedroom accommodation, this handsome Townhouse blends architectural heritage with adaptable modern living - and does so with quiet confidence.
Greenaway Lodge is one of those homes that quietly surprises you - Behind its traditional façade lies a house that has grown with family life - generous in scale, full of character and wonderfully adaptable.
ACCOMMODATION
GROUND FLOOR Step inside and there is an immediate sense of warmth. Period fireplaces, gothic-style windows and elegant original detailing sit comfortably alongside spaces that feel easy and practical.
The main reception room is beautifully inviting - large enough for family gatherings yet equally suited to quiet evenings. It is a room that naturally draws people in. Beyond, the kitchen and dining space form the heart of everyday life. Informal and sociable, this is where homework is done, meals are shared and doors open directly onto the garden terrace for summer evenings outside.
A separate utility area keeps the practicalities neatly contained.
The first floor hosts a generous principal bedroom along with a spacious family bathroom. On the upper floor, the home continues to unfold with four further bedrooms, offering excellent flexibility for growing families, guests or workspace if required. The arrangement across the upper floors allows bedrooms to feel comfortably tucked away, providing privacy without compromising connection to the heart of the home.
Greenaway Lodge adapts effortlessly to changing needs - whether five bedrooms are required or one is repurposed as a study or additional sitting room.
The first floor is served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom - spacious and thoughtfully arranged, with a four-piece suite that includes a curved claw footed bath with waterfall shower over. This is a room designed for long soaks at the end of the day as much as busy mornings getting ready - practical yet indulgent.
OUTSIDE Perhaps the greatest surprise is outside.
The large, level walled garden offers genuine space - lawn for children to run, established planting, terrace for entertaining and peaceful corners to sit with a book.
There is room here for long summer lunches, garden parties and everyday play.
Private gated parking, held within the freehold title, adds enormous practicality - a valuable asset in this central Ashburton location.
