A fabulous upside down house, having been completely renovated over the past 5 years under the current ownership. The entrance is on the upper level, where there is gravelled parking for around 3 cars and access to the newly constructed garage. The modified entrance with composite front door and tiled pillars, opens into a light porch with coat cupboard and on to the large bright living space. This is a beautiful open plan room with glorious countryside side views. At over 9 metres in length, there is ample space for living, dining and kitchen with built-in units to kitchen and dining areas. There is also a w.c. on this level. A staircase with glass and wood balustrades leads down to the lower ground floor. From here, a hallway with storage and utility space leads to three bedrooms and a sun room. The master bedroom has en-suite shower room and the family bathroom is fitted with a Jacuzzi bath. The lovely sun/garden room is fitted with French doors to the garden and a large triple glazed roof light. At the back of the house is a level garden, which offers a great deal of privacy and is as well finished as the house. A few steps lead to a lower level where there is a hard standing for a caravan or motorhome with gated entry. The area is well screened from the rest of the garden with a workshop/shed with power and light. There is also power for the motorhome cabled underground. To one side of the main garden steps lead up to the new garage, which has an electric roller door to the front and is connected with power and light.
Colyton is a pretty and historic town with a village feel with a range of local facilities including health centre, library, convenience stores, 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 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.
