Ash House is a superb example of a Grade II Listed manor house with a well-documented history. Extensively renovated and remodelled by the current owners, Ash House is an exceptionally efficient house to run compared to many others of this scale and presents itself as a beautifully appointed family home that is supremely comfortable and manageable.

One of the many striking features that stand out is the layout and flow that works so well for a modern family. Notably when the occasion arises, the house can also entertain on a grand scale with flexible bedroom accommodation and sumptuously appointed reception rooms.

Secondary accommodation includes an attached 4 bedroom cottage, a 1 bedroom guest apartment with independent access, a detached 3 bedroom cottage with private garden and an independent 2 bedroom apartment.

The gardens and grounds at Ash House are stunning and lend both enchantment and protection from the outside world. The newly constructed 20m heated
swimming pool is enclosed within a walled garden and the hard tennis court is conveniently nearby, perfect for summer entertainment.

The modern farm buildings and newly constructed stables are set away from the house with separate access.

There are numerous blocks of mixed woodland. The fields to the north have been mainly been divided into easily managed post and rail paddocks, each with a water drinker. A high quality 60x25m outdoor riding school has also been constructed by the present owner.
Ash House is situated in one of Devon's most beautiful and unspoilt areas, with the house occupying an elevated south-facing position with uninterrupted views to Dartmoor. The nearest villages are Monkokehampton and Iddesleigh. The historic village of Iddesleigh has been described as an excellent example of a cob and thatch village and has the well renowned pub, The Duke of York. This traditional country pub was where Michael Morpurgo, the famous author of 'War Horse', encountered a veteran of the First World War, whose account of his experiences inspired this classic story. The village is situated on a southern facing slope and offers great views to Dartmoor's highest point, Higher Willhays. The market towns of Okehampton and Hatherleigh are within
easy reach for day-to-day amenities, with Okehampton offering a Waitrose supermarket.
