A generously proportioned four-bedroom detached period home set in a sought-after village location, offering picturesque views over the Axe Valley. This property features beautifully maintained gardens, a private garage, and ample driveway parking.

Situation - Devoncroft is situated in the popular village of Colyford. The village benefits from an active community with a range of facilities on offer including two village inns, a bike shop and cafe, post office/general store, parish church, and a village hall.

The small historic town of Colyton is situated about a mile away and is highly regarded for its beautiful period architecture, local amenities and a doctors surgery. Colyford offers an appealing range of convenience shops. Both Colyford and Colyton are perhaps best known for the much acclaimed Colyton Grammar School, one of England’s top state schools, which is within walking distance of Devoncroft.

England’s first World Heritage Site, the Jurassic Coast, lies just 2 miles to the South via the seaside town of Seaton and the Regency town of Sidmouth is just 10 miles away. To the East there is the coastal town of Lyme Regis. To the West is the city of Exeter, which is within easy reach and provides all the amenities one would expect from a major city, with a mainline station offering direct access to London.
