Ashburton, Devon

THE PROPERTY Set on historic East Street, Wild Goose Cottage is a Grade II listed home with a wonderfully individual character, quietly positioned in the heart of Ashburton. Behind its traditional façade, the accommodation unfolds over three floors, combining period detail with a relaxed and highly personal interior. The living room and kitchen form a sociable ground-floor arrangement, while the upper levels introduce a sequence of more intimate spaces, culminating in an atmospheric mezzanine beneath the roof. There is a sense of discovery to the house: window seats, exposed timbers, changing levels and carefully framed views all contribute to its distinctive feel.

Ashburton's independent shops, cafés and restaurants are within easy reach, while Dartmoor lies just beyond the town. It is a particularly appealing setting for those who value character, convenience and a strong sense of place. 

ACCOMMODATION The front door opens into a light and characterful living space, where a broad multi-paned window and deep window seat create a natural focal point. Slate-style flooring, period proportions and a second side window give the room an easy, individual feel, with two shallow steps leading through to the kitchen. Set just beyond the living room, the kitchen is neatly arranged with painted cabinetry, timber work surfaces and integrated appliances. A breakfast bar provides an informal place to sit, while a stable door opens directly onto the rear courtyard. Stairs rise from the kitchen to the first floor, where engineered oak flooring continues through the landing.

Occupying the first floor, the principal bedroom is a calm and well-proportioned double, with a sash window overlooking East Street and a second window drawing the eye along the street. Timber flooring and the original fireplace give the room a quiet sense of period character. A generous landing sits beneath a large roof window, with a built-in desk and useful storage creating a flexible space for working, reading or simply retreating from the rooms below.

The upper floor reveals another side to the cottage. Beneath the roofline, exposed timbers, changing levels and carefully considered built-in storage give the space a wonderfully individual quality. A rooflight draws in natural light, while the fitted desk creates a quiet corner for working or reading. From here, steps rise again to the mezzanine - an intimate retreat tucked into the eaves.

A second bathing space sits beneath the roofline, finished with bold tiling and a compact bath with shower over. Nearby, the mezzanine nestles into the eaves, where exposed timbers, fitted storage and a roof window create one of the cottage's most distinctive spaces. 

OUTSIDE Reached directly from the kitchen, the enclosed rear courtyard provides a welcome pause from the town beyond. Stone and brick walls, established planting and space for a bistro table give it an intimate, sheltered feel - somewhere for coffee in the morning, a glass of wine at the end of the day, or simply a little fresh air without leaving home.
