This semi-detached house has gardens to the front and back and a pretty outlook towards woodland. Situated on the outskirts of the town just over half a mile from the centre, the house is set on high ground above the road with parking available on the road nearby. The house has undergone a number of improvements in recent years and offers accommodation comprising: entrance hall with stairs rising, living room with large bay window, a good sized kitchen/diner, rear lobby and ground floor WC. On the first floor are three bedrooms, two good doubles and a generous single room along with the family bathroom. A further staircase leads to a good sized attic space (currently used as a double bedroom).
At the back of the house is an enclosed garden, offering a secure space for children and animals and at the front is a pretty lawned garden with a central specimen blossom tree, enclosed by fencing to the front boundary with a pedestrian gate leading out to the access path.
The house benefits from gas central heating and uPVC double glazed windows.
Colyton is a pretty and historic town with a village feel with a range of local facilities including health centre, library, convenience stores, 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 and the ever-popular seaside resort of Lyme Regis just 7 miles to the east.
