Situation
11 Ashley Road is set in a convenient town location. Whilst a few minutes from a local bakery, hairdressers and food outlet, the property is a five minute walk from the centre of Okehampton town, which has a good range of nationally and locally owned shops, three supermarkets, which include a Waitrose, doctors surgery, modern hospital, library, Post Office and schooling from infant to sixth form level.Whilst nestled in a central location, the property lies in a quiet cul-de-sac and benefits from views to Dartmoor from the front aspect and views to Abbeyford Woods and surrounding countryside to the rear. The property is also a short walk from the college and attractive setting of Simmons Park, which boasts a state of the art leisure centre with swimming pool, and there are many opportunities for walking with further walks to Ball Hill; without having to encounter a main road. From Okehampton there is easy access via the A30 to the cathedral and University City of Exeter, which lies some 23 miles to the east, with its M5 motoway, mainline rail and international air connections. To the west, Cornwall can be accessed fairly easily also via the A30 dual carriageway. Okehampton is so centrally located in Devon that there is comparatively easy access to both the north and south coasts of Devon with some attractive beaches and wonderful coastal scenery. Okehampton is often called the gateway to Dartmoor, which has hundreds of miles of unspoilt scenery, offering great opportunities for riding, walking and further outdoor pursuits.
