Seaton Road, Colyford, Colyton, Devon, EX24

We believe that Stoup Cottage was built in 1926 and is a charming, character detached bungalow which is hidden away from view set in delightful mature gardens. It is located just off the centre of the lovely village of Colyford within easy reach of the village post office, shop, butcher and local public houses. The property has been in the same hands for eighteen years and although a new gas central heating boiler was installed approximately four years ago, the property now requires modernisation and improvement. The bungalow has the potential for an extension and loft conversion subject to any necessary planning permission. A particular feature are the lovely gardens which surround the property and provide a good deal of privacy, and the plot extends to approximately a quarter of an acre. There are a number of character features associated with a property of this age including some decorative cast iron fireplaces, picture rails, wooden floorboards, deep skirting boards and hallway arch. The front door opens to the entrance hall with storage cupboard housing the Worcester combi gas central heating boiler. A door off to the left accesses the living room with window to front overlooking the pretty gardens. There is a brick built open fireplace with shelving to the right side and original cupboards to the left-hand side and stripped wooden flooring. A door from here accesses the kitchen/dining room which is a good sized square room with window to rear and side. The kitchen which is now in need of a re-fit, has a door to a large lean-to. This has a door to the garden to the left and, to the right, a walk-in storage cupboard. Past this cupboard is a covered walkway through to a further storage lean-to with double doors opening to the rear garden. From the main entrance hall, access is gained to the principal double bedroom at the front of the property, which has a large window overlooking the pretty gardens. Bedroom 2 is another double bedroom with window overlooking the side gardens. Each bedroom has a feature decorative cast iron fireplace. Bedroom three is a single room with window overlooking the rear garden. In addition, there is a family bathroom with window to rear comprising bath, WC and wash basin. Outside: From the Seaton Road there is vehicular access to the property. From this there is an arch set within mature hedging with a pedestrian gate that leads into the pretty cottage front gardens. There are lawned gardens either side of a pathway with an abundance of flowering shrubs and small trees with natural stone walling to one side a Devon Bank to the other. The garden continues to the left-hand side of the property, linking to the lean-to and to the opposite side of the property which has fruit beds. This side garden then links through to the rear garden with access to the lean-to storage at the back of the property mentioned above. N.B There is currently no parking with the property, however an area for parking could be created subject to necessary works. Council Tax: We are advised that this property is in Council Tax Band D.
