The Meeting House is an impressive Grade II listed former Merchant's House of late medieval origins, remodelled in the early 1800s, and a landmark property within the South Dartmoor town of Ashburton. Its distinctive architectural facade features vermiculated window and door surrounds, the ground and second storeys having keystones decorated with female heads.

The property stands along North Street overlooking the green at Cledar Place, away
from the hustle and bustle of the town centre, yet only a very convenient two minute level walk of the shops and amenities. There is a public car park (annual permits subject to availability) just a stone's throw away and unrestricted on-road parking along North Street.

The Meeting House’s interior contains some wonderful rooms including features such
as beamed ceilings, stud and panel partitions, moulded plaster ceiling cornice, a fine
Inglenook granite fireplace and two cosy wood-burners. There are five individual
reception rooms, one of which has a timber and glazed ceiling, whilst the five double
bedrooms are served by three bathrooms.

Outside, there is a sheltered, secure walled courtyard in which to enjoy the sunshine.

Location - Ashburton stands on the southern edge of Dartmoor National Park and whilst it is the largest town within the Park, has a village-like feel and spirit of community. There is a great range of useful shops just two minutes' easy level walk away including fish deli, artisan bakers, independent greengrocers, butchers, award winning delicatessen and a pharmacy. Other close-to-hand amenities include the
town Post Office, community arts centre, doctor's surgery, two dental practices and
numerous cafes/eateries. Accessibility is excellent with the A38 connecting Plymouth
with Exeter and the national motorway network, whilst the towns of Totnes and Newton Abbot are both around twenty minutes by car and have mainline railway stations to London Paddington.
