A characterful Grade II listed three bedroom cottage requiring refurbishment set in the desirable village of Ashprington with a large garden plot nearby.
Mileages
Totnes 3.7 miles approx., Dartmouth 10.5 miles approx., Exeter 32.2 miles approx., Plymouth 25.1 miles approx., Ashburton 14.1 miles approx., Newton Abbot 12 miles approx., Torquay 13 miles approx. (London Paddington via Totnes Train station approx. 2.45 hours).
Situation
The cottage is situated in the village of Ashprington, a highly favoured South Hams village of predominantly period properties centred around an historic church and noted local inn. The surrounding countryside is delightfully unspoilt and offers excellent opportunities for outdoor pursuits. The celebrated town of Totnes with its mainline railway station is approximately three miles away with a supermarket and a compliment of independent shops within the town. Totnes sits on the River Dart and Ashprington village is a short distance from Bow Creek on the Dart, with the villages of East Cornworthy and Dittisham beyond.
Description

Offered to the market with no onward chain. Requiring refurbishment throughout, benefits from mains water, mains electricity and mains drainage. Would suit reconfiguration to the bathroom on the first floor subject to any necessary planning consents. This is a truly rare opportunity to create a superb home in this lovely community.
