Description
The Hidden Cottage, as the name would suggest, occupies a "secret" tucked away setting within a central part of the town. Ashburton is noted for its fine period properties and antique and craft shops plus excellent everyday shops and amenities. It lies in an excellent catchment area for schools, both state and independent, and is roughly equidistant between Plymouth and Exeter, where the A38 joins the M5 motorway and the international airport. A more comprehensive range of shopping facilities can be found in the historical town of Totnes, about eight miles to the south, or in the busy market town of Newton Abbot, about nine miles to the east.
The property stands within the Dartmoor National Park boundary in an area of outstanding natural beauty, ideally located for most country pursuits, with unlimited riding and trekking opportunities virtually on the doorstep and with lovely woodland, riverside and country walks.
The Hidden Cottage is a most intriguing property, the exact age of which is difficult to determine, though parts possibly date back to around 1800. The accommodation is of an unusual layout which adds to the charm and character of the building. There is a good sized main living room with access to the garden and the largest main bedroom on the first floor has a barrell ceiling. There is an array of PV panels benefitting from the feed-in tariff. N.B There are areas of flying freehold.
The garden is enclosed by natural stone walling on all three sides and is stocked with numerous colourful shrubs and trees. There is a pond, large vegetable and fruit garden, and the whole garden enjoys a sunny south facing aspect and a good deal of privacy.
