Features and description

  • Tenure: Freehold
A beautifully presented period property with origins dating back to 1760, situated within the heart of this pretty little East Devon town. The very spacious accommodation, which has been thoughtfully updated and improved under the current ownership, comprises three large bedrooms, spacious landing and bathroom on the first floor, upgraded kitchen/dining room, sitting room with a large brick and stone fireplace, conservatory/utility room, and additional reception room, hallway and ground floor w.c. The house is charming with many period features including: flagstone floors running the length of the hall and continuing through the sitting room, the pretty stair case with three turns, attractive doors and picture rails, window seats, wall panelling and a variety of lovely fireplaces. This is an ideal property for anyone looking for character and convenience within a strong local community.

Colyton is a pretty and historic town with a village feel and a range of local facilities including health centre, library, butcher's, baker, convenience stores, fish and chip shop, pubs, tea rooms, a garden centre and a variety of small shops and services. The beautiful Norman Church is the centre point of the town, which is most famous for the 1685 Monmouth Rebellion. On the edge of the town is the Seaton tramway station which operates services throughout the summer along the Axe Estuary, linking Colyton and Seaton, which is very popular with tourists. The nearby Colyton Grammar School is another draw for the area as the school consistently appears in the top 10 Grammar Schools in the country. The Jurassic Coast and pretty harbour at Axmouth is just 2 miles away, close to Seaton beach where water sport activities are available. The seaside resort of Lyme Regis to the east is just 7 miles away. and Sidmouth is to the west just under 11 miles.

We have a passion for property combined with traditional values of service, with an emphasis on excellent communication. We want to match your property to the right buyer and make the whole process as stress free as we can, leaving you with the confidence of being able to recommend our service to others. Our aim: to make estate agency something to be proud of.
