Market Place, Colyton

On entering at ground level, there is a good sized hall with plenty of space for coats and shoes. From here stairs rise to the first floor, where there are two reception rooms (or one reception room and bedroom three), an attractively re-fitted bathroom and a large, bright kitchen which has also been re-fitted with an attractive range of built-in units and integrated appliances. Also, on this level is a large storage cupboard on the landing and a further staircase leading to the top floor. On the second floor are two bedrooms and a shower room, both bedroom are doubles with the front bedroom being particularly large and enjoying lovely views to the Church and the countryside beyond. Although not Listed, the property is in a conservation area, which means that the front windows must be in keeping. These are original sash windows (single glazed). Other windows to the back and side are replacement uPVC double glazed. The flat is heated by a mixture of modern electric radiators and older night storage heaters and the showers are modern electric power showers.

The property is offered with no onward chain. Most of the furniture and furnishings (with the exception of some personal items) are available by separate negotiation.

Colyton is a pretty and historic town with a village feel with a range of local facilities including health centre, library, butcher's, baker's, pharmacy, 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 its role in 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 are just 2 miles away, with the seaside resort of Lyme Regis just 7 miles to the east, and Sidmouth just under 11 miles to the west.
