An elegant period detached house of some age (parts of the building are at least 250 years old), offering substantial and flexible accommodation with potential for further improvement and adaptation. This unique house stands in a commanding position close to the centre of this pretty little East Devon town, within a short walk of shops and other amenities. The house has been moulded through the decades into the residential dwelling that we see today. Unusually for a property in the heart of the town, there is a large double garage as well as private parking for several vehicles in front of that garage and a further single garage.

The accommodation comprises a spacious main living room, small dining room, w.c. kitchen/breakfast room, large study with French doors to the garden and a conservatory with a covered well (Well Room); the first floor has a split landing with plenty of built-in storage to one side leading to a master bedroom. There are two further bedrooms, (one with an en-suite) and a bathroom as well as a staircase leading to a large loft bedroom.

At the back of the house is a pretty and very secluded courtyard area with an ornamental pond, and steps rising to the delightful, walled main garden area. As mentioned above, there is a large double garage with hayloft above, which offers tremendous potential for adapting to further (annexed) accommodation, subject to consents. Attached to this building is the single garage mentioned above.

The house has undergone a programme of repair within the past year. Works completed include: roof stripped and re-laid with new slate, Georgian windows repaired and reconditioned, some electrical work, including a new consumer unit, some new radiators, complete external redecoration, some re-plastering using lime-based materials in keeping with the period as well as a good deal of internal decoration. The house would benefit from further cosmetic improvement in terms of kitchen and bathroom fittings. Although not listed, the house is in a conservation area.

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