Aish Cross is a distinguished early Victorian country house, which stands in an elevated position in the centre of the small hamlet of Aish, with beautiful views across the Dart Valley and surrounding countryside - an area of outstanding natural beauty.
Aish is 1 mile from the picturesque village of Stoke Gabriel and 3 miles from the medieval market town of Totnes. It is surrounded by farmland and hedgerows full of primroses in the the spring, and an abundance of other beautifully scented wild flowers throughout the summer months.
Stoke Gabriel is a popular and thriving village on the banks of the River Dart and its thirteenth century church overlooks the creek where boats are moored, and the mill pond where children feed the ducks, and fish for crabs in the summer. It is an ideal base for dinghy sailing and river boating with Kingswear and Dartmouth a short sale down river. Stoke Gabriel boasts 3 pubs and 3 restaurants.
Nearby Totnes is a delightful country town with loads of character and a great variety of individual shops, restaurants and inns. The main line railway station has a direct line to London, Paddington.
The area is extremely popular and combines the unspoilt tranquillity of the Dart Valley with access to the Torbay area with its extensive amenities and to the beautiful beaches located throughout the South Hams to the west of Totnes.
