This is a rare opportunity to purchase a detached property standing in its own grounds of just under 2 acres and we would highly recommend an internal viewing to fully appreciate the original features of the property and extensive grounds. The gardens and grounds are clearly a very strong feature and compliment the property beautifully.



If you would like to receive a full colour brochure, showing additional photos and a floor plan please contact us. 

Description A substantial detached house, situated on the edge of Ashburton, set in mature gardens of approximately 2 acres. The house offers three reception rooms and five bedrooms, making it a true family home, ideal for all ages.



The Priory Cottage has well established and extensive grounds within walking distance of the centre of Ashburton. The large private gardens benefit from mature trees, shrubs and plants, lawned areas, pond and a natural stream. Internally, the property benefits from many original features including timber panelling, timber panelled doors with wrought iron latches as well as a feature open fireplace to the Lounge.



This fine property, which was built in 1933, is well proportioned with far reaching views over the surrounding countryside. 

SITUATION Ashburton lies on the southern slopes of Dartmoor in the heart of the South Devon countryside. Flanked by the Devon Expressway, that extends the M5 to the historic naval port of Plymouth, it is situated roughly halfway between Plymouth and Exeter. Ashburton is not only a splendid gateway to Dartmoor, but it is also the ideal base from which to explore the whole region from moor to sea. The scenery in the area is glorious in all weathers and offers visitors the opportunity for walking, pony trekking, canoeing, fishing and, if you like, just pottering. The town has had a reputation for its pubs, inns and coaching houses for hundreds of years. Many still exist today along with a good selection of tea shops, cafes, good quality restaurants and shops. There are also excellent nearby schools within the area at both senior and junior level.
