Situation - Treetops occupies a tucked-away yet highly convenient position within the popular South Dartmoor town of Ashburton, a thriving and characterful community on the edge of Dartmoor National Park. The town is especially well regarded for its welcoming local atmosphere, good schooling, independent shops, delicatessens, cafés, inns and restaurants, together with its arts centre and creative arts and music scene, all of which contribute to its enduring appeal as a place to live.
