3 bedroom detached house for sale

A charming modern detached house, built in the mid 1980's, situated just off the town centre with a small garden and parking. The property is one of a pair, built in a chalet style with dormer windows to the first floor and finished in stone and render with a concrete tiled roof. On the first floor are three bedrooms, two generous doubles and a smaller double, all served by a shower room, and a bright landing area providing a quiet, reading or desk space. On the ground floor is an entrance hall with w.c. off, a good sized living/dining room, a kitchen at the back of the house, which leads into a utility room. This room has been created from the former garage, which was partitioned off (around 2003), leaving a smaller storage space at the front and the original up and over garage door, with the utility room at the back. The property has double glazed windows (fitted in 2002) and gas central heating, fired by an old but service-able boiler (serviced January 2024). The property is ripe for modernisation, so a little dated internally but a very appealing house within an easy walk of facilities and offered for sale with no onward chain.

Colyton is a pretty and historic town with a village feel with a range of local facilities including health centre, library, 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 and the ever-popular seaside resort of Lyme Regis just 7 miles to the east.
