Description
This impressive period property occupies the upper floors of the former Devon and Cornwall Bank premises (later National Westminster Bank) and was originally utilised as the bank manager's residence.
A listed building from around 1891, it features rooms of great volume and lofty ceilings, along with numerous period features including an imposing private entrance from East Street with tall panelled doors opening to a grand entrance hall and staircase rising to the upper floors. There is a secondary access at the rear of the building from Stapledon Lane with smart cobbled parking area for two cars and courtyard space with covered store.
The accommodation could be easily divided (subject to the required consents) to create a self-contained two bedroom annexe - perfect for multi-generational living or to produce a rental income.
Bank House is located towards the lower end of East Street, one of the oldest roads within the historic South Dartmoor town of Ashburton. The town is noted for its fine period buildings many of which are of architectural and historical note. There are excellent local shops and amenities including post office, pharmacy, health centre and cafes/restaurants, all of which are within convenient walking distance of the property. There are primary and secondary schools within the town.
Ashburton lies just off the A38 Devon expressway which links the two Devon cities of Plymouth and Exeter where the road joins the M5 motorway. The market town of Newton Abbot lies about 8 miles to the south.
