Old Manor Close, Ashburton, TQ13 7JF

Old Manor Close, together with Amberley Close, forms a small, much favoured, residential area of detached houses surrounding an open green, just under a mile from the town of Ashburton.

It lies within the southern boundary of Dartmoor National Park and the open moor itself is just a few minutes car journey away.

Ashburton is a characterful town with an interesting range of shops and good local amenities including a primary school and South Dartmoor Community College.

The town is located just off the A38 Expressway, between Plymouth and Exeter, both of which are within commuting distance of the property.

The property is a well designed detached house built in the late 1970's and offers spacious accommodation including living room with wood-burner, kitchen-dining room, conservatory overlooking the rear garden and a separate utility area.

On the first floor there are three bedrooms (previously four) served by a bathroom and an extension to the rear of the property has created a ground floor bedroom plus bathroom, which would be suitable for an independent relative or as a home office/studio space.

The heating system (previously a gas fired system) has been updated with electric infrared ceiling heaters in the principle rooms.

The property offers much potential and would benefit from some updating/completing in places, particularly the kitchen-dining room.

Outside, there is a private and attractively planted rear garden, with lawn and smartly paved seating terrace, whilst to the front is a reception garden with pond, Monkey-Puzzle tree, driveway with parking for two to three cars, plus a garage.
