Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
  • Historic Town Property
  • Full of Quirky Charm
  • Three Double Bedrooms
  • Bathroom & Kitchen
  • Study/Snug
  • Sitting Room, Living/Dining Room
This absolutely fascinating house will appeal to anyone who likes character and history around them. From unusual shaped rooms, to differing levels, the property is quirky and delightful. The accommodation is set over three floors and is quite flexible, currently providing three generous double bedrooms, large bathroom, spacious landing/study, sitting room, kitchen and dining room. The property is accessed off Bulls Court, a small no through pedestrian lane and this is currently used as the main entrance (although there is a front door to Dolphin Street as well). Just outside the back door is a little seating area. The property is one of the older houses in Colyton, its origins dating back to the time of the Monmouth Rebellion, with some later additions. Situated very close to the town centre, the shops, restaurants, cafes and all amenities are within a short walk.

Colyton is a pretty and historic town with a village feel with 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, with the seaside resort of Lyme Regis to the east, just 7 miles and Sidmouth to the west just under 11 miles.

Places of interest

    We are dedicated Licensed Estate Agents with many years industry experience (over 60 years between us!) covering East Devon and West Dorset but occasionally outside these areas if required. We are a small but mighty team of ladies which is something that happened by coincidence, rather than design. Although, we have found it gives us a compassionate edge over some other agents; something that can be invaluable throughout the buying and selling process. 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.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on June 19, 2023

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on June 19, 2023

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services

    Energy Performance data and Internal floor area: obtained on August 9, 2023 from The Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 or the Home Report if in relation to a residential property in Scotland.
