Station Rd, Colyton, Devon

A three-bedroom detached cottage with courtyard garden, situated on the outskirts of the pretty and historic small town of Colyton, East Devon. Lea Combe Cottage does require some updating and redecoration but it could be a perfectly charming cottage with a bit of TLC and is offered for sale with the added bonus of no onward chain. The property also benefits from a long, attached garage, which provides a very useful workshop/store or could potentially be adapted to provide additional ground floor accommodation, if desired (subject to consents). On the first floor of the cottage are three double bedrooms, one with en-suite shower room and a family bathroom. On the ground floor is a dual aspect living room with French doors to the rear garden, a separate dining room, kitchen and w.c. The sunny, enclosed rear garden faces south-west and allows rear access to the garage/workshop. Windows are a mixture of double and single glazed and there is gas central heating throughout. The cottage is close to the Seaton/Colyton tramway and only around 500 metres walk from the centre of the town.

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