A beautifully presented Grade II listed family home in the heart of Ashburton with a delightful garden and private parking for 2 cars

Description

Stormonth House is an elegant, Grade II listed Georgian town house which lies at the upper end of East Street, one in a distinguished row of three, close to the centre and one of the oldest roads in Ashburton.

Arranged over four floors, the accommodation is well proportioned with high ceilings and large sash windows which flood the rooms with natural light while the period features create the charm you would expect from a home of this era.
Stepping into the porch and entrance hall sets the tone for what is to come with the hallway leading to the well-equipped kitchen with flagstone floor. Integrated with a range of appliances it is clearly the heart of the home and overlooks the south-facing garden.

The kitchen is open plan to the dining room with wooden floor and feature fireplace. Beyond the kitchen is a generous utility which could be turned into a fabulous garden room, subject to the necessary consents. There is also a laundry room / cloakroom on the ground floor as well as a pantry.

Stairs rise from the entrance hall to the first floor which provides the fabulous drawing room, again with wooden floors, two full height sash windows and a marble feature fireplace.
There is also a generous, south facing double bedroom on this floor which is currently used as a study / library with bespoke Neville Johnson cabinetry and views over the garden and countryside beyond. Situated on the half landing is a convenient shower room.

A lovely, wide staircase leads to the second floor which offers the principal bedroom with feature fireplace and built in storage and a further double bedroom. The generous family bathroom is well equipped with a large, walk in shower and central, free standing roll top bath.

The third floor is dedicated to a large double bedroom which is flooded with natural light thanks to a large sash window and two generous Velux windows. The vaulted ceiling and exposed beams continue the character theme while built in cupboards provide ample storage.

Outside
The paved rear courtyard garden is enclosed with a lovely stone wall and is bordered by raised beds with mature shrubs and plants including camelia, roses, lavender, lilac and a fig tree.

South facing and just outside the kitchen and utility, it provides the perfect spot for morning coffee or al fresco dining.

Steps lead to a garden store and beyond this there is a larger stone built garden store with further storage to the rear as well as access to a private residents parking area, two of which are owned by Stormonth House and one of which benefits from an EV charger.
