Description
Understood to have been built in the mid 1930s, Woodthorpe is a characterful, much loved family home in a prime position on the edge of town.
The property has been tastefully upgraded in recent years and now features under-floor heating to the ground floor, a smart grey kitchen with quartz worktops, engineered oak flooring to the ground floor rooms, a cosy wood-burner in the light-filled living room and there are modern cloakroom, en-suite and bathroom fittings.
The roof covering was renewed around 15 years ago with red-clay tiles, matching the original 1930s period, and the windows have been replaced with double glazed wooden frames. We also understand that the electrical wiring system has been replaced.
The principal rooms overlook the south-facing gardens and some have views to neighbouring countryside. Indeed, the gardens are a real feature of the property with level landscaped lawns, very well stocked beds and a variety of attractive trees. A five-bar gate at the lower end of the garden opens to the paddock and land which was purchased around 5 years ago. This is a rare find with a property so conveniently placed for the town and benefits from a vehicular road access.
Pear Tree is situated less around half a mile from Ashburton town centre which has a superb range of independent shops, restaurants/cafes, community Arts centre, two dental practices, doctor's surgery and an award winning post office. There are primary and secondary schools within Ashburton, whilst Stover Independent School is a fifteen minute drive. The A38 brings both Exeter and Plymouth within a comfortable daily commute.
The valley of the River Dart with it's ancient picturesque woodlands is a little further along the road from Woodthorpe and the dramatic open-landscape of Dartmoor and Buckland Beacon is close to hand.

Garden
Woodthorpe stands in around 0.31 of an acre (as measured on Promap). The gardens are attractively landscaped and include a red-brink herringbone patterned path which runs along the length of the house and with brick and paved seating areas.
A formal level lawn with established shrubbery beds gives access to a large lower lawn with fruit trees, poultry cage and soft fruits cage. Within the garden there is a useful shed, garden tap and exterior power points. At the furthest most end of the garden a wooden five bar gate connects to the land.
The Land
The land, which extends to around 3.59 acres (as measured on Promap), is relatively flat and contains a variety of trees. We understand in the past it has been used as a pony paddock, whilst in more recent years it has been utilised for amenity purposes and a habitat for wildlife. There is a gated vehicular entrance to the land from Pear Tree.
Services
Services to the house - Mains electricity, gas and water. Private drainage.
