ABOUT THE PROPERTY

Ashcroft represents a unique property package perched on the edge of the river Taw with dramatic stunning views across unspoilt far reaching countryside. Occupying an elevated position, nestled amongst the rolling hills of Umberleigh, the property enjoys privacy, peace and seclusion. The location provides a balance of easy access and rural living, directly approached, yet set down from the A377. The property is of non traditional/timber frame construction beneath a cedar shingle roof and undoubtedly provides tremendous potential for remodelling, enlargement or even replacement, if required and subject to any necessary consents. Whilst close to the River Taw the property is not within the flood zone.

The property has undergone some enhancements by the current vendor, although now provides the scope for the next owner to continue the vision in this idyllic one-off setting.
The mature attractive gardens wrap around the property, enjoying a variety of tiered areas to appreciate the views with a abundance of colour. A large private driveway provides ample parking for 3/4 vehicles and benefits from an adjoining detached garage/workshop with power and light connected and may also offer potential. Located within the gardens is a useful studio/garden store, together with an outside sauna and superb oval and glazed entertainment garden pod (available by separate negotiation). In all, Ashcroft extends, to about 0.25 acres.

This two bedroomed single storey property briefly comprises:- entrance hall, utility area, well appointed kitchen, separate dining room and large living room with wide glazed sliding doors to the decked balcony. An adjoining side entrance hall leads to two double bedrooms and a shower room.

For layout and approximate room measurements please see the enclosed floorplan.
