BUILDING PLOT - APPROX. 1 ACRE
LAND WITH DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL BACKING ON TO THE BEAUTIFUL AXE ESTUARY
A generously proportioned plot of land alongside the picturesque River Coly. It has a frontage to Swan Hill Road of about 37m (120) and is informally estimated at 1.1 acres with detailed consent for a 4 Bedroomed detached house. The land has been in the same family ownership for some 65 years and has been much loved and enjoyed as a secluded retreat. There is an old apple orchard with carpets of snowdrops and daffodils, a vegetable garden, and beyond the southern boundary is the unspoilt Axe Estuary.
The land is situated in the picturesque East Devon village of Colyford which has a thriving local community and facilities including a church, village hall, 2 pubs, post office and general store, butchers shop, cafe and the highly regarded Colyton Grammar School. The sea at Seaton is about 2 miles to the south and inland is the ancient country town of Colyton (approx. 1 mile). There is a mainline railway station at Axminster some 5 miles inland (Exeter to Waterloo line).
In summary, the land is situated in a superb location, probably the last of its kind in the village.
