The accommodation briefly comprises; impressive entrance hall with attractive staircase, living room, dining room, kitchen, utility room, morning room, study, conservatory and ground floor w.c. Whilst the first floor has a split level landing, three double bedrooms, further bedroom with partially restricted head height, shower room and two bathrooms. A staircase leads to three interconnecting attic spaces. Although not listed, the house is in a conservation area.

Outside there are attractive and extremely well stocked gardens to the front and side of the property. The gardens have been lovingly cared for and designed to provide a range of colour and interest throughout the year, with pleasant sitting out areas. To the rear of the property is an extensive paved area that has been used in the past for additional parking. Access to this is gained via the garage which has both front and rear garage doors.

This delightful property would be and has been a fabulous family home.

Colyton is a pretty and historic town with a village feel with a range of local facilities including health centre, library, butcher`s, 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 2 miles away, with the seaside resort of Lyme Regis to the east, just 7 miles and Sidmouth to the west just under 11 miles.
