“The black chair with Japanese detail was my mum’s when she was in her early 30s; I’ve always loved it and feel comforted that it is now in our home.” Owners Hannah and Tom
We love

Surrounds.
- Ashburton is wall-to-wall with independents and long-loved antique dealers, now joined by a wave of makers and design studios. It’s interiors heaven, perfect for rummagers, collectors and anyone with a soft spot for beautiful things.
- It’s also a serious foodie town. Hannah and Tom love The Fish Deli and Ashburton Delicatessen for groceries, and boho Rafikis (veggie), The Old Library (modern British), Osteria Emilia’s (upmarket Italian) and Creamosfor ice cream. There’s an annual festival here that lures top chefs from across the UK.
- You’re a mile from Dartmoor’s wild beauty: granite tors, thick forest, rugged moorland and beautiful folds of valley. Spend days hiking, cycling or simply wandering with Dartmoor ponies for company; swim in the River Dart, explore the dramatic Dart Gorge and admire Wistman’s Wood, one of Britain’s last remaining temperate rainforests.
- The brilliant Ashburton Arts Centre (set in a Grade II-listed Methodist church) hosts jazz, comedy, films and exhibitions, while nearby Buckfast Abbey and charming villages like Lustleigh add their own history and character.
- Families will love River Dart Country Park for high ropes, bike trails and play areas galore. Also, Stover Country Park for wildlife-rich woodland walks and Pennywell Farm for little-animal magic. Steam-train lovers can jump aboard the idyllic South Devon Railway.
- When the sea calls, drive out to Blackpool Sands, Hope Cove, Bantham or Salcombe for golden beaches and coastal cafés. A little further, Woolacombe is ideal for bodyboarding and surfing, with long peeling waves.
