A charming end of terrace cottage centrally situated in a conservation area within the much sought after town of Colyton. The cottage has a good deal of charm and character, that includes exposed stone and brick work both inside and out, attractive fireplace, and an attic room with wooden floor, exposed roof timber and arched brick window surround. Delightful views are enjoyed to nearby hills, and St Andrews Church from a number of rooms. The accommodation briefly comprises: entrance vestibule, living / dining room with attractive plantation folding shutters to the front, kitchen, rear lobby. Whilst stairs rise from the living / dining room to landing, double bedroom and shower room. Further stairs to attic double bedroom with built in bedroom furniture. Outside, vehicular access is gained to the rear of the property by a shared narrow driveway that leads to an enclosed area, with further vehicular access to neighbouring property. Open fronted garage with doorway leads to the rear garden. This has over the years been well stocked with a wealth of plants and shrubs. It also enjoys pleasant paved sitting out areas, with the garden being enclosed on two sides by a stone wall.
Colyton is a pretty and historic town with a village feel with a range of local facilities including health centre, library, butchers, 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.
