Property description & features
- Tenure: Freehold
- Period Property
- Currently Run as Cafe/Bakery/B&B
- Three En Suite Letting Rooms
- Top Floor Owners Accommodation
- Cafe with Kitchen
- Centrally Situated
A fantastic opportunity for a lifestyle change! This property offers the flexibility of combining a home and two businesses but could very easily be adapted (subject to any necessary change of use) to become completely residential or to down-scale one side of the business and continue with only one aspect (e.g. a Bed and breakfast only or bakery and café only).
The property is currently run as a successful B&B with cafe and bakery on the ground floor. The possibilities of changing business model exist as the ground floor could easily be adapted to a number of other uses, whilst retaining the letting rooms. Owners accommodation is on the top floor, currently providing a large bedroom with vaulted ceiling and lovely views across the town to nearby countryside, with a spacious living room and large bathroom. The first floor has letting rooms, two large doubles and a small double/single room, all with en suite facilities, a customer w.c. for the cafe, utility cupboard and an office/store.
On the ground floor, there is a separate entrance to the house/B&B which opens into a hallway, off which there are doors to the café, kitchen and a reception room leading to a dining room/lounge. The café has a large window frontage to the road and separate customer entrance. Behind the cafe is the commercial kitchen which is equipped for the business. An external back door leads to a small courtyard where there is a small storage shed.
The property has been well maintained under the current ownership with a large number of hand-made replacement windows, some new bathroom fittings and complete redecoration throughout. The decor is colourful, quirky and fun in public areas and traditional with Georgian/Victorian colours in the letting rooms. There is gas central heating throughout.
Whilst not Listed, the property is in a conservation area situated very close to the centre of town with plenty of footfall.
Colyton is a pretty and historic town with a village feel with a range of local facilities including health centre, library, butcher's, café/bakery, 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.

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.

Broadband availability and predicted speed
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
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
