Stylish character home in lovely private grounds approaching 1/4 acre. EPC Band C

SITUATION & DESCRIPTION

Located in the village of Colyford just a couple hundred yards from Colyton Grammar School, the property has a wonderful private position. Substantially and thoughtfully extended by the current owners this beautiful home has an arts and crafts feel with the extension constructed using lots of solid natural materials used with traditional techniques, incorporating modern fittings such as the aluminium frame French doors. Planning permission was granted at the time (Ref 14/1183) to create two bedrooms on the first floor level.

Set down a quiet street within walking distance to the facilities in this lovely village, which include two pubs, a fantastic local shop/Post Office and the renowned school there are lovely paths in the surrounding rolling hills and along the Jurassic Coast. The larger towns of Seaton, Colyton and Axminster are within a few minutes drive, the latter with a mainline railway link to London Waterloo.
