SITUATION The property is situated in the attractive East Devon town of Colyton, surrounded by the rolling countryside of the Axe Valley. The town offers a useful range of everyday amenities, schooling and places to eat and drink, and is home to the highly regarded Colyton Grammar School. The nearby coast at Seaton, Beer and Lyme Regis is within easy reach, while Axminster provides further facilities and a mainline railway station with services to Exeter and London Waterloo.
DESCRIPTION A substantial and characterful period home offering spacious and versatile accommodation arranged over three floors. The property has benefited from considerable renovation and improvement by the current owners, while retaining many of its original period features and character. There remains scope for further renovation and updating, giving the next owners an opportunity to continue the improvements and put their own stamp on the house.
One of the particularly striking features of the property is the impressive entrance hall, with its beautiful geometric tiled floor and traditional staircase creating a memorable first impression. This characterful space sets the tone for the accommodation beyond.
The generous sitting room features a bay window, wood-burning stove, fitted shelving and timber flooring, opening through to a large dining room with a further stove.
To the rear, the kitchen/breakfast room provides a sociable family space with fitted cabinetry, timber work surfaces, a range-style cooker and central island, with plenty of natural light and access outside.
Across the upper floors are six bedrooms, offering excellent flexibility for family living, guests and those working from home, with ample scope to create one or more dedicated home offices without compromising bedroom accommodation.
The principal bedroom also has an adjoining space which was previously intended as a bathroom. This is not currently operational and requires renovation, offering the potential to reinstate it as an en-suite or alternatively use the space for additional storage or fitted cupboards.
The upper floors enjoy attractive views towards the surrounding countryside.
OUTSIDE The property benefits from an enclosed rear garden, with a generous gravelled terrace providing an excellent space for outdoor dining and entertaining. The garden is softened by mature planting, established trees and attractive stone walling. A separate garage provides useful parking or storage, while the upper floors enjoy attractive views across Colyton towards the surrounding East Devon countryside.
