St Lawrence Lane, Ashburton

THE PROPERTY Set along St Lawrence Lane in the centre of Ashburton, No. 30 is a Grade II listed townhouse with an individual interior and a notably generous arrangement of accommodation over three floors. The ground floor opens into a broad entrance hall, with a dining room to the front and a long, practical kitchen extending towards the rear garden. Above, the first floor is centred around a substantial sitting room, accompanied by a spacious bathroom. Three bedrooms occupy the second floor, including two particularly well-proportioned doubles.

To the rear is an enclosed courtyard garden with established planting and a detached studio or workshop, creating a useful space apart from the main house. Ashburton's independent shops, cafés and everyday amenities are close at hand, while Dartmoor and the wider South Devon landscape remain readily accessible.
 

ACCOMMODATION Stepping through the front door, you're greeted by a bright and inviting entrance hall that sets the tone for the rest of the home. Original period features sit comfortably alongside practical, everyday living space, with timber flooring, simple joinery and the original staircase introduce the house's distinctive character.

Located off the entrance hall is the dining room a generously proportioned and comfortably able to accommodate a substantial table. Built-in storage runs along one wall, while the open connection with the kitchen gives the two rooms an easy relationship suited to both everyday life and larger gatherings.

Extending towards the rear of the house, the kitchen is arranged with clean-lined white cabinetry, generous work surfaces and space for the usual freestanding appliances. Its long proportions create a practical working layout, while glazed doors and windows at the far end bring in natural light and open directly to the courtyard garden. The room connects naturally with the dining room, allowing the ground floor to function as a relaxed and sociable part of the house without losing the distinction between the two spaces.

Occupying much of the first floor, the sitting room is one of the house's most substantial spaces. Three sash-style windows bring in good natural light, while the deep blue walls, fitted shelving and inset fireplace give the room a strong sense of identity. Its generous proportions allow for several seating areas and a flexible arrangement of furniture, creating a comfortable room for both quieter evenings and time spent with family or friends.

The three bedrooms are arranged across the second floor. The principal bedroom extends across part of the front of the house and is particularly well proportioned, with its windows bringing in plenty of natural light. There is ample room for a large bed together with freestanding wardrobes, chests and additional seating. A second double bedroom lies to the rear and has a more individual shape, with windows on two elevations and useful space for furniture. The third bedroom is a smaller single room, well suited to use as a child's bedroom, guest room or study

The bathroom is positioned on the first floor, alongside the sitting room. It is a notably spacious room, fitted with a panelled bath, separate shower enclosure, wall-mounted WC and wash basin set within fitted cabinetry. A series of windows to the rear elevation, bring in natural light, while the white finish provides a calm backdrop for the room's more individual decorative details

 

OUTSIDE To the rear of the house is an enclosed courtyard garden, creating a private outdoor space in the centre of town. Established planting gives the garden a leafy, informal character, with room for a small table and chairs. At the far end stands a detached studio/workshop. The building is currently arranged as a creative workspace and offers useful separation from the main house, with potential for a variety of hobby, studio or home-working uses, subject to any necessary permissions and services. Beyond the studio is a further section of garden. We understand that neighbouring properties benefit from a right of access across this area; buyers should ask their solicitor to confirm the precise extent and terms.
