Ashprington
Ashprington is a village in the South Hams district of Devon. The village is not far from the River Dart, and is about three miles south of Totnes. There is a local pub and hotel.
Sharpham Barton is within the Parish and includes Sharpham Vineyard which produces good quality wines. This thousand year old farm consists of five hundred acres owned by the Sharpham Trust. The house, designed in 1770 by Sir Robert Taylor, overlooks the fields and wooded slopes above the River Dart. Tours of the vineyard are available.
Ashprington (AISBERTONE) is mentioned in the Domesday Book with four servants, seven villagers and eight smallholders, a total of 19 people. In 2001 it had a population of 428, not what you could call a rapid expansion!
The church is fifteenth century, although the font is Norman. There are many carvings within and the communion chalice is pre-Reformation.
Luscombe Maye are proud to be one of the most well-respected estate, letting and land agents working in the Ashprington area.
