Ashburton, Devon

THE PROPERTY Tucked away on the western side of Ashburton, 4 Staverton Cottages is a substantial and adaptable family home with a layout that feels both generous and easy to live with.

The ground floor brings together a spacious kitchen and dining room, comfortable sitting room with wood burner and a light-filled conservatory opening towards the garden. A separate study, utility and fourth bedroom with adjoining shower room add useful flexibility, while three further bedrooms and the family bathroom sit above, with pleasant outlooks towards the surrounding hillsides and St Andrew's Church.

Outside, the recently landscaped rear garden has been thoughtfully arranged for both entertaining and family life, with a broad paved terrace, lawn and established planting. Solar PV panels, Tesla battery storage and an EPC B rating add impressive energy credentials, while Ashburton town centre remains within easy walking distance. 

ACCOMMODATION There is an easy flow to 4 Staverton Cottages from the moment you step inside. The central hall connects the principal living spaces, with the kitchen and dining room to one side, the sitting room and garden-facing conservatory to the other, while a separate study and ground-floor bedroom give the layout further versatility.

Engineered oak flooring runs through much of the ground floor, while the oak and glazed staircase brings a lighter, more contemporary feel to the centre of the house.

It is a home that balances sociable spaces with quieter corners, all with a strong connection to the garden beyond.

The kitchen and dining room is one of the most sociable spaces in the house, generously proportioned and arranged so that cooking and dining sit comfortably alongside one another. A long run of timber-fronted cabinetry provides plenty of storage and preparation space, with the sink positioned beneath a broad window looking directly into the rear garden. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher and under-counter fridge, together with a built-in oven and gas hob.

Engineered oak flooring brings warmth and continuity, and the relationship with the conservatory and garden gives the whole space a relaxed, informal quality. It is a room that works just as well for a quiet breakfast as it does for a table full of family and friends.

Upstairs, three bedrooms are arranged around a central landing, each enjoying its own outlook.

The two front bedrooms look towards the neighbouring green hillsides, while the rear bedroom has a view towards St Andrew's Church and incorporates useful fitted storage. The family bathroom completes the first-floor accommodation.

The family bathroom serves the three first-floor bedrooms, while the ground floor has a beautifully finished contemporary shower room, with a generous walk-in shower, sleek vanity unit and stylish large-format tiling - a striking addition that works especially well alongside the fourth bedroom or for visiting guests 

OUTSIDE The rear garden has been recently landscaped to create a considered extension of the living space, with areas for entertaining, relaxing and everyday family life.

Immediately behind the house, a broad paved terrace provides generous space for outdoor dining and seating, with wide steps rising towards the lawn beyond.

Established planting, mature trees and enclosed boundaries give the garden a settled and private feel, while the lawn provides generous space for children, gardening or simply relaxing outside.

ABOUT ASHBURTON Ashburton is one of Dartmoor's most appealing small towns, combining a strong sense of community with an excellent range of independent shops, cafés and everyday amenities. From 4 Staverton Cottages, the town centre is within easy walking distance, making it possible to enjoy much of daily life without relying on the car.

The town sits on the eastern edge of Dartmoor National Park, with open countryside and moorland landscapes close at hand for walking, cycling and riding. Ashburton itself has a lively, individual character, with a good selection of food shops, specialist retailers, cafés and places to eat, together with schools and useful local services.

For those travelling further afield, the A38 provides convenient road connections towards Exeter and Plymouth, while Newton Abbot offers a mainline rail service to London and other major destinations.

What makes Ashburton particularly attractive is the balance it offers: a historic market town atmosphere, immediate access to Dartmoor and straightforward connections across South Devon. From Staverton Cottages, that combination is especially accessible, with the town centre close by and the countryside never far away.
