Swan Hill Rd, Colyford, Colyton

Centrally situated in the village of Colyford, this substantial Grade II Listed detached house has, in the past been used as a Bed and Breakfast. The current arrangement of rooms is such that this could easily be reinstated, should a new owner be looking for this kind of business. Alternatively, the property makes a great family home with plenty of space to cover flexibility of living. In all, there are six bedrooms, two of which are on the ground floor, offering a great opportunity for multi-generational living if required. There are a number of other rooms, one of which is a living room with a fabulous Inglenook fireplace with bread oven and flagstone floors. Across the hallway is a dining room, which leads to a breakfast room and on to the kitchen. In addition, there is a separate utility room and laundry room/study. Outside, there is ample parking for several vehicles and a generous timber garage with remote door. The garden lies to the side of the garage and behind the house comprising a patio seating area, lawn and shrub border and mature hedged offering complete privacy. The property has an abundance of character with original beams running throughout the property and many original square leaded windows with monkey tail handles.

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.
