Sidmouth Road, Colyton

With No Onward Chain. An attractive, substantial detached house situated on the edge of Colyton, built we understand in the early 1900's. The property enjoys a wealth of character, with well proportioned rooms and high ceilings. The distinctive arched double window at the front being particularly note-worthy. Most of the sash windows have been replaced with modern double glazed equivalent. The accommodation briefly comprises; impressive entrance hall with attractive staircase, living room with wood burner, dining room, kitchen / breakfast room, ground floor shower room and garden room. Whilst the first floor has a bright and spacious galleried landing, three double bedrooms, one with shower, family bathroom and separate w.c. A further staircase leads to two connecting attic spaces. Subject to consent, these may have potential to convert into further living accommodation.

Outside there are attractive well stocked gardens to the front and rear. The walled mature southerly facing rear garden provides a number of secluded areas, ideal for entertaining or simply relaxing. There is also a glazed pergola sitting area adjoining the property as well as a large garage / workshop and ample driveway parking.

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.
