SITUATION
Treetops occupies a tucked-away yet highly convenient position within the popular South Dartmoor town of Ashburton, a thriving and characterful community on the edge of Dartmoor National Park. The town is especially well regarded for its welcoming local atmosphere, good schooling, independent shops, delicatessens, cafés, inns and restaurants, together with its arts centre and creative arts and music scene, all of which contribute to its enduring appeal as a place to live.

Ashburton is often favoured by those seeking the balance of an active market town lifestyle with immediate access to the open spaces of Dartmoor. The surrounding moorland provides superb opportunities for walking, cycling, riding and exploring, while the town itself offers a strong sense of community and a varied calendar of local events.

Communication links are excellent, with the A38 Devon Expressway close at hand, providing swift access to Exeter, Plymouth and the wider South West. The town is also ideally positioned for access to the South Devon coast and beaches, making Ashburton particularly convenient for those commuting, while still enjoying the charm, independence and natural beauty associated with life on the edge of the National Park.

DESCRIPTION
Beautifully presented and thoughtfully remodelled, this detached home offers an adaptable style of living, with generous reception space, five bedrooms and a separate office building, all within easy reach of Ashburton's town centre and Dartmoor.

The house has been arranged for modern family life, with the principal living spaces flowing naturally towards the garden. Solid oak flooring extends through the downstairs hall, kitchen and dining/day room, with the kitchen, breakfast and dining/day areas forming the sociable heart of the home, while the separate sitting room provides a relaxed space in which to unwind.

The accommodation is notably flexible, with bedrooms arranged across both floors to suit family, guests, working from home or multigenerational living. Outside, the garden extends the living space further, with terraces and seating areas for dining and relaxation, complemented by off-road parking for multiple vehicles and a detached office building.

ACCOMMODATION
The property is entered via a central hall, giving access to the principal ground floor rooms. The sitting room is a generous and comfortable space with a woodburning stove and access to the garden, while the kitchen is fitted with a range of quality units, central island, breakfast bar and integrated appliances. Solid oak flooring extends through the downstairs hall, kitchen and dining/day room, which has roof lights and doors opening onto the terrace.

There are three bedrooms on the ground floor, served by a family bathroom and an additional WC, together with a separate utility room. On the first floor are two further double bedrooms, including the principal bedroom with en-suite shower room, along with an attic room suitable as a study, hobby room or quiet retreat.

OUTSIDE
The property is approached from Place Lane, where there is off-road parking for multiple vehicles. Beside the parking area is a detached office building with power, lighting and WC, arranged as two separate rooms and ideal for working from home or studio use.

The south-east facing garden has been attractively landscaped for ease of maintenance, with a decked terrace adjoining the house, mature planting, lawn, a sheltered sunken patio and further seating areas. There are also timber sheds and log stores providing useful storage.

SERVICES
All mains services are connected. Gas fired central heating. Ofcom advises that ultrafast broadband and mobile coverage via the major providers is likely.

DIRECTIONS
From the A38, take the B3352 exit towards Ashburton and continue into the town along Eastern Road. Turn right onto Balland Lane, passing the school, and after approximately 0.3 miles turn left onto Place Lane. Continue for a short distance, keeping right, where the property will be found shortly thereafter on the right-hand side.
