Woodland, Nr Ashburton, TQ13 7JT

In a tucked-away setting in the heart of the countryside, Butlers Retreat is a light and airy conversion of a two-storey period building, originally stable buildings to Wickeridge House, offering a unique home with particularly spacious room sizes.

The flexible and very well presented accommodation combines the character of an older building with the comforts and specification for modern-day life.

The living room has a wood burning stove and there is propane gas fired heating via radiators.

The windows are mainly double glazed, and several rooms enjoy pleasant outlooks over the gardens and countryside.

We understand there are PV panels to the garage roof and that the roof covering of the house was replaced in recent years.

The gardens wrap around the property and have been laid out for ease of maintenance. They include various paved courtyards, and gravelled areas interspersed with raised beds.

Ample parking is provided by the two garages and adjoining parking areas. plus designated visitor's parking.

Butlers Retreat is approached over a long imposing drive, shared with a handful of properties, which leads off the Ashburton to Woodland Road, and is within walking distance of the Rising Sun country inn.

Whilst set in rolling countryside, the property is highly accessible, being less than two miles from the A38 Expressway, bringing Exeter and Plymouth within easy commuting distance.

The local towns of Ashburton, Newton Abbot and Totnes each provide a good range of everyday shops and amenities and the scenic landscape of Dartmoor National Park is close to hand.
