Pub for sale

Ashburton is located on the southern slopes of Dartmoor right in the heart of the South Devon countryside. The town lies on the River Ashburn and dates from Saxon times. In the Doomsday book the area is called Essebretone and records show 34 villagers and 16 small holders. It was once an important centre for tin and cloth as it was on the main coaching route. Ashburton is flanked by the Devon Expressway, the A38, and is situated roughly halfway between Plymouth (25 miles) and Exeter (20 miles). It is the largest town to lie fully within the boundary of the Dartmoor National Park. Its close location to Dartmoor makes it an ideal touring centre for walks, pony trekking and other activities on the moor. The nearby River Dart is popular for canoeing, fishing and bird watching. The main shopping streets are North Street and East Street with cobbled streets and old houses and Ashburton is a great place to explore with a large number of independent shops and businesses.    
Ashburton is one of only four Stannary Towns in Devon and tin was mined in the area as far back as Roman times. The easy access routes by road and rail and the proximity of Dartmoor make Ashburton a popular place for a holiday and stopping off point.  The Royal Oak is a prominently located period property in East Street. Externally the pub is very attractive with a stone façade complimented with flower boxes. Internally the property is also well presented and has been refurbished with 2 main trading areas leading to an outside courtyard.

The flexible accommodation above provides a comfortable home for a couple who wish to revive the lucrative Bed and Breakfast letting or a larger family who are looking for a spacious, well-appointed apartment.
