The property benefits from double glazed windows and gas central heating and has recently been upgraded with re-fitted kitchen and cloakrooms as well as many new floorings and redecoration.

Colyton is a pretty little market town (more like a village) with a small town centre offering a good range of daily needs including two convenience stores, fish and chip shop, butcher, hairdressers, post office, small stationers, pharmacy, health centre, garden centre, library and a few other individual shops. There is a primary school in the town and the well regarded Colyton Grammar School is just over a mile away. A beautiful Church is at the heart of the town and there is an interesting variety of architecture. The lovely beach and promenade at Seaton (and its more extensive shopping) are three miles away. The tram from Seaton, which runs along the Estuary stops at Colyton and there are frequent buses to Seaton and Axminster. Nearby Axminster (6 miles), has a mainline station with regular trains to London Waterloo and Exeter. The city of Exeter is approx. 25mins by car and the airport just outside Exeter is approx 19 miles.
