Hillhead, Colyton, Devon

A substantial detached property, believed to have been built in the 1970's, designed in keeping with that period. The property is set on a good sized plot of just over one third of an acre in a well respected area, set back from the road along a private shared drive, with a gated entrance leading to a large garage and parking area for two / three vehicles. The property is split level with the garage, boiler /utility room, boot room and cloakroom on the lower level and the remainder of the living space on the upper floor. A circular staircase links the kitchen and the lower level internally, whilst the main entrance is via a sloping path leading up from the parking area.

The living space comprises entrance hall with wood burning stove and patio doors to the rear garden, leading to a sitting room, then dining room and on to the kitchen. From the hall, a corridor leads to three bedrooms, two of which are generous and the third a single room, along with a family bathroom.

The property is now in need of complete renovation both inside and out but offers an exciting opportunity for redevelopment, subject to consent. Windows are a mixture of uPVC double glazed and wooden framed windows and there is oil fired central heating.

There are very pleasant countryside views from the kitchen and dining room windows. The remainder look out onto the garden and the plot is quite private and secluded (more so in summer than in winter) with mature trees and hedging to most boundaries.

LOCALITY
Colyton is a pretty and historic town with a village feel with a range of local facilities including health centre, library, butchers, baker, convenience store, 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.
