A substantial and attractive family home set in a large plot of just under half an acre and set back from the road in the village of Colyford in East Devon. The property was designed by the current owner, built by a local firm and is just 14 years old, with high levels of insulation, high quality double glazing and ground source heating. With over 2,300 square feet of accommodation plus a large garage and adjoining workshop, the property offers plenty of space with flexibility of use.
Thought has been given to the design with some very attractive features providing individuality and character, which is often lacking in modern homes. The house is finished in stone, largely flint with Portland stone quoins and brick window ledges and lintel arches, topped with a slate roof. An attractive entrance porch has been created using large timber beams and internally, the Elm wood central staircase rising up in the centre of the house creates quite a feature.
At ground level, double doors open into the entrance hall, off which is a spacious living room with brick-built Inglenook fireplace, a dining room and kitchen/breakfast room, all of which have French doors opening to the rear garden. These rooms have been designed to have a natural flow' with each other. There is also a large utility room, ground floor w.c. and rear lobby that complete this level. On the first floor, are four double bedrooms, two of which have en-suite shower rooms and a family bathroom. A further staircase leads up to the top floor where there is a bright room running the full width of the house. There are a number of Velux windows, from where there are lovely views towards Axmouth, the Estuary, north towards Axminster, and sideways views to Seaton and the sea. This room makes a fantastic space for model railway, art studio, a teenage den or any number of other uses.
Outside, there is a gravel driveway providing plenty of parking and leading to the double garage with attached workshop. This building is finished to match the house and has double glazed windows and a roller electric door. An ideal space for classic vehicles but also has the potential to be converted to annexed accommodation if desired (subject to consents).
The garden wraps around the house on all sides and is very well stocked with many mature hedges and trees providing good privacy. A section behind the garage is fenced off to provide a separate garden for the potential annexe or for use as a separate vegetable and fruit garden.

Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on May 22, 2024
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 May 22, 2024
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
