Hill End is a unique detached property built approximately three years ago to a high standard and situated in a quiet no-through lane. The position makes the most of the panoramic views towards Colyton, taking in the quaint electric tram stop and the beautiful octagonal church tower in the distance.
Discretely designed for lifetime living and for those with mobility needs, the house has been fitted with a single person lift, each floor being level with no internal steps. The property benefits from high levels of insulation, underfloor heating warmed by an air source heat pump and aluminium double glazing, including bi-fold doors off the dining area.
On approach to the property, a driveway provides ample parking for several vehicles along with a generously sized garage with electric vehicle door and side personnel door.
The front door opens to a good sized hallway with an oak and glass staircase rising to the first floor. Beyond the hall, a door opens into the large open plan living/dining/kitchen space and the eye is immediately drawn to the bi-folds and the outlook onto the lovely garden and the views beyond. The bespoke kitchen offers an extensive range of storage and integrated Neff appliances with an oak topped island and breakfast bar. A dining area links the kitchen with the living space, where there is a cosy evening sitting area around the multi-fuel stove. Upstairs, a spacious, bright landing leads to three double bedrooms and a family bathroom, the principle bedroom has built-in wardrobes and en-suite shower room. Views from the back of the house are lovely, taking in the tramway, the town rooftops, the church tower and countryside beyond. To the side, the view is directly over the adjoining pony field.
The rear garden has been designed by Tony Benger landscaping with dry stone walling, colourful flower and shrub beds, a small pond with fountain and external power. A patio seating area and gravelled space makes for easy maintenance.
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 over 2.5 miles away, with the seaside resort of Lyme Regis to the east, just 7 miles and Sidmouth to the west just under 11 miles.
