Hillside, Colyton, Devon

Situated in a no- through road, yet within reach of shops and amenities, this charming semi detached home perfectly blends character, space, and modern family living.

THE PROPERTY: The property has been thoughtfully enhanced with a loft conversion, creating a principal bedroom suite occupying the top floor.

Upstairs on the first floor are three further good-sized bedrooms and a contemporary family bathroom, offering flexible accommodation for growing families, guests, or home working. The ground floor is equally impressive, featuring a welcoming entrance hall, a spacious living / dining room with multi-fuel stove, and a door opening to the rear garden, ideal for entertaining or relaxed family time.

A handy rear porch / utility area adds everyday practicality.

Step outside and discover a home that delivers on lifestyle as well as space. The attractive landscaped front garden is complemented by a block-paved driveway offering convenient off road parking for up to four vehicles.

To the rear, the property really comes into its own. A generous, gently sloping garden stretches away from the house, thoughtfully designed to cater for most occasions. Whether you're hosting summer gatherings, enjoying a quiet morning coffee, or embracing a more self-sufficient lifestyle, this outdoor space has a lot to offer. A patio area is situated close to the property for easy entertaining, while further along, you'll find a lawn, a greenhouse, multiple sheds, established
fruit trees, and an abundance of mature shrubs and flowering plants creating a lovely setting. At the far end, a raised seating area provides a fantastic vantage point, ideal for unwinding and soaking in the far-reaching views over Colyton to distant hills.

Inside and out, this home has great charm and modern comfort, with double glazing and gas central heating. Offering generous proportions and versatile living, it presents a great opportunity for families, gardeners, or anyone seeking a home with both character and space to grow.

LOCALITY
Colyton is a pretty and historic town with a village feel with a range of local facilities including health centre, library, butcher`s, pharmacy, 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 its role in 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 are just under 4 miles away, with the seaside resort of Lyme Regis just over 7 miles to the east, and Sidmouth just under 10 miles to the west.


FURTHER INFORMATION
Originally built in the 1920s, this charming home successfully combines period character with a range of modern improvements, including gas-fired central heating served by a recently installed Bosch smart boiler with intelligent app-controlled functionality.
The principal living space is a generously proportioned dual-aspect sitting and dining room, featuring a bay window to the front and a multi-fuel stove, creating a cosy focal point during the colder months. To the rear, a comfortable seating area enjoys a pleasant outlook over the garden and provides a more secluded space for relaxation.
The kitchen has been thoughtfully refurbished with stylish dark blue cabinetry, complemented by copper handles, well-designed feature lighting and pull-out larder. Integrated appliances include a double oven (with gas main oven and dual-fuel top oven/grill), gas hob, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. A wood-burning stove adds further character, while the room offers ample space for either a dining table or additional seating. Beyond the kitchen, the rear porch provides practical access to the garden and side pathway, together with useful storage for coats and shoes and space for an under-counter freezer.
On the first floor, the landing gives access to three bedrooms and the family bathroom, which is fitted with a shower bath, with electric shower over, and a cupboard housing the gas boiler. Bedrooms two and three are comfortable doubles, while the fourth bedroom is currently arranged as a home office but could easily serve as a single bedroom if required. From the front-facing rooms, there are attractive views across Colyton towards the surrounding countryside.
A staircase rises to the converted loft, creating a principal bedroom suite. Dormer windows to both the front and rear elevations flood the room with natural light, with the front-facing dormer enjoying particularly far-reaching views. The suite also benefits from an en-suite shower room, a peaceful seating area and useful eaves storage.

OUTSIDE
A mature front garden creates an attractive first impression, with a selection of established shrubs and a beautiful Acer tree. Access to the property is via either a central pathway with steps descending to the parking area or a gently sloping side path, offering a more accessible route for those requiring easier access.

PARKING
A block paved parking bay offers parking for up to 4 vehicles.

REAR GARDEN
A gated side pathway provides access to the rear garden, which can also be reached directly from the rear porch. Enjoying a sunny south-facing aspect, the garden rises gently away from the house and has been thoughtfully arranged into a number of distinct areas, each with its own appeal.

Adjacent to the property, a private patio creates an ideal setting for al fresco dining, entertaining and summer barbecues. Beyond this lies a generous lawn, centred around a mature Bramley apple tree and complemented by a further James Grieve apple tree, a pear tree and a Mirabelle plum tree.

The upper section of the garden is dedicated to productive growing, with two greenhouses, a potting shed, an additional garden shed and a series of raised beds providing excellent space for cultivating fruit, vegetables and flowers.

At the top of the garden, a further seating area is accessed via a short flight of steps and offers a wonderful vantage point from which to enjoy the surrounding countryside views.
