Elmwood Gardens, Colyton, Devon

A spacious detached bungalow with generous, level gardens and driveway parking, situated in a small cul-de-sac in the sought after village of Colyford. The accommodation comprises three double bedrooms, one with en-suite w.c., family bathroom, entrance hall, spacious living room that incorporates a dining area, large kitchen, utility room and rear lobby / hobbies area. At the front of the bungalow is an extensive area of garden with mature shrubs and driveway providing parking for a number of vehicles and which leads to the garage. The gardens wrap around the property and are of a good size with the rear garden facing in a southerly direction, mainly laid to lawn with adjoining raised paved areas.

Whilst the property does require some updating, it offers great potential for those who might want to change the layout to include an en-suite bathroom (e.g), or to enlarge, possibly into the roof space (subject to securing the necessary permissions). It is also offered with the benefit of no onward chain.

Colyford village is situated along the Jurassic coast road, just inland from the beach at Seaton and the pretty Axmouth harbour as well as the Axe Estuary, which is a haven for wildfowl. Amenities in the village of Colyford include a Post Office & General Stores, a butcher's shop, two pubs, a church, a village hall and a leisure centre. Colyford is also home to the well regarded Colyton Grammar School. A larger range of facilities can be found at nearby Seaton, which is just over 1.5 miles away or Axminster, 6 miles to the north, where there is a mainline train service to London.
