Set in an idyllic Teign Valley location this well presented & spacious home is surrounded by 1/3rd acre of mature gardens with a wonderful southerly outlook.  2 Bedrooms with potential for 3rd, 2 bathrooms, kitchen/dining room, sitting room, sun terrace, potential to extend into lower level–STP, gated driveway parking.

Situation: Lower Ashton is an idyllic hamlet within a conservation area located in the sought after Teign Valley  a short distance from Higher Ashton, which together form the parish of Ashton.

The Teign Valley is a popular spot to call home not only due to the picturesque surroundings but also being situated between the eastern boundary of Dartmoor National Park and the wooded slopes of Haldon Forest.  Here you can enjoy a rural lifestyle, yet the local towns and city of Exeter are within easy reach.

Lower Ashton’s pub, The Manor Inn, is well-regarded and serves locally sourced food and beer, the local church is in Higher Ashton. The nearby village of Christow has a good range of amenities and facilities including the Village Shop, Artichoke Inn, St James’ Church, GP’s Practice, Primary School, and Community hall with sports field, tennis club and skate park.

There are many scenic footpaths in the area and the walks, pubs and Tors of Dartmoor are only a short drive away.  There are several golf courses in the area including Teign Valley Golf Club, and the Devon coast and beaches are not far away.  The area is also popular with road cyclists and mountain bikers with plenty of quiet roads and cycle routes as well as nearby Haldon Forest Park.

Description: Surrounded by generous gardens in a plot measuring around a third of an acre, with a lovely southerly outlook down the Teign Valley, Taiseer is in a wonderful location.  Accessed via a gated driveway leading to a large parking area, the property has basement garaging and storage, with the accommodation laid out over a single level above.  The current owners have made several recent improvements including fitting a new kitchen and bathroom.  Accommodation briefly includes two double bedrooms, two bathrooms, an open plan kitchen/dining room, a generous sitting room and a utility room.  There is a lovely sun terrace adjacent to the front door, and thanks to large windows the property is light and bright throughout.  The extensive garaging, storage and a workshop area has significant potential to convert some or all of this space into additional accommodation subject to the necessary permissions.

Flood Risk
Surface Water
Very low
Unlike flooding from rivers, surface water flooding can happen many miles from a river, often in places that people wouldn’t expect because it’s a long way from a river or stream – it happens simply because there is nowhere else for the rainwater to go. Risk ratings are measured as:
High Risk - an area which has a chance of flooding of greater than 1 in 30 (3.3%) in any one year.
Medium Risk - an area which has a chance of flooding of greater than 1 in 100 (1.0%) in any one year.
Low Risk - an area which has a chance of flooding of greater than 1 in 1000 (0.1%) in any one year.
Very Low Risk - an area in which the risk is below 1 in 1000 (0.1%) in any one year.

Testimonial 1
Mr and Mrs F: We were delighted with our experience. James Taylor was unfailingly helpful. His photos were exceptional and the house sold in two weeks. We would recommend him without any reservation.
Testimonial 2
James made the process of selling as simple as possible in these difficult times. They showed prospective purchasers around and helped us prepare for the sale with good advice. Once a purchaser made an offer communications were maintained on a regular basis and James helped us over the finishing line.
Testimonial 3
We have just exchanged on our purchase, James Taylor has been excellent to the point it felt like he was actually our agent?! James is incredibly polite, efficient and organised. He took the time to stay in touch and was extremely professional throughout. Although we sold our house with another estate agent, we barely heard from them and if we could give James a cut of our estate agent fees we would as he deserves it. Thank you for your hard work!
Testimonial 4
James sold our house for us recently, and we would highly recommend him. He took time to take great photos of our house, and produced a fab brochure which garnered lots of interest. Through the twists and turns of selling during a pandemic, James was really easy to get hold of, and kept us fully informed. He made a challenging process a lot easier. We would really recommend James if you want to sell your house.
Testimonial 5
Honest, calm and trustworthy. James made a competitive and daunting situation look manageable. He certainly made our experience more pleasant. I think this will have worked well for the seller too offering the confidence and diplomacy to ensure a successful sale. A gem standing out from its competitors. I would highly recommend without reservation.
Testimonial 6
We found the perfect home in the right area and James just so happened to do all viewings and was our point of contact throughout. My wife and I were always highly impressed with his professionalism and refreshingly honest personal approach. At all times throughout the process, he worked meticulously both with us, and for the seller - answering every question speedily and with detail. We highly recommend!

Council Tax pays for multiple services in the property's local authority with only part of it going to the council itself. Residences within a Parish or Town Council area have an additional charge to fund the body. Each parish/town council has a different budget and imposes different fees. Not all councils have parishes/town councils and this varies across the country.

In instances where parish/town councils do affect the council tax value and we do not have the exact figure, we present council tax data with the below highlights. Take care to confirm which is being presented by the dashboard as this will need to be made clear to your clients:

avg - When we indicate the Council Tax price is 'avg', it means we have not been able to obtain an exact figure, so this number represents the mean value of Council Tax across the council for that property band. The exact figure will be slightly higher or lower because each parish/town council is priced differently.

min - When we indicate the Council Tax is a 'min', it represents the known amount that the council sets for itself, but excludes the parish/town council cost which we have not been able to obtain. The additional cost will need to be considered as it will be greater than the indicated price.
