Ashlade is a wonderful, detached family home, which we believe dates from the 1930s. The house has an 'Arts and Craft' style internally, and has been beautifully cared for by the owners, who lived there for over 50 years. Ashlade offers spacious and bright accommodation totalling more than 2,500 square feet, and this is complimented with outstanding views from all the principal rooms.

The ground floor comprises an entrance hall and inner lobby, which in turn leads to the kitchen and living room, with both rooms being inter-connected with the breakfast room. The kitchen is fitted with a good range of units, a gas hob, double oven, and dishwasher.

The living room has an impressive fire surround with gas coal effect fire and double doors to the terrace and gardens. In addition, there is a sitting room, again with a coal effect gas fire, a lift rising to the first floor and double French windows through to the main sunroom, which has doors leading to the terrace and gardens. A second sunroom, utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor.

Stairs and a lift rise to the first floor, which offers a total of five bedrooms, all with superb views, from the sea right across to the moor, and two bathrooms. There are basins in three of the bedrooms and the main bedroom offers two dressing rooms and an en suite bathroom with bath and shower. The smaller bedroom five has been used as a study and this is where the lift rises to. There is a large balcony off one of the bedrooms, from which you can enjoy exceptional rural and sea views.

Outside
The driveway with cattle grid, offers parking for numerous vehicles and access to the large double garage, which also houses a workstore with workbench. The gardens are a delight, being largely laid to lawn, with well-established shrubs and beds, and enclosed with mature hedging. There is a wraparound terrace, front garden with palm trees, and a walled garden area offering potential for a large kitchen garden with greenhouse.


Ashlade is situated on the edge of Torquay, near the village of Daccombe and about 3 miles from Newton Abbot. The views from the house and gardens are outstanding, with the outlook stretching for miles across open countryside. Despite the outstanding rural backdrop, Ashlade is less than a mile from the parade of shops on Barton Hill Road, which includes a Tesco Express, a Co-Op, a baker, a florist, and a pharmacy.

Both Torquay and Newton Abbot offer an excellent range of amenities including superstores, hospitals, restaurants, boutique shops and galleries, and a good range of secondary schools including Torquay Boys' Grammar and Torquay Girls' Grammar Schools.

Torquay town centre and marina are about 3 miles distant, whilst the mainline rail station at Newton Abbot is about 3.5 miles and offers a regular high-speed service to London Paddington in about 2.5 hours. Ashlade is well situated between the glorious rural idyll that is Dartmoor and the sandy beaches of South Devon, ensuring you will never be short of things to do or places to visit. The cathedral city of Exeter, which is about 18 miles away, is a hub of cultural excellence and home to one of the top UK universities. The A380 offers access to the M5 and is about 3 miles distant.

Newton Abbot Train station 3.5 miles, Watcombe Beach 1 mile Totnes 9 miles (All distances are approximate)
