Colyton, Devon, EX24

A charming detached listed property with a self-contained annexe, situated in a delightful rural location set in a gently sloping plot of around one third of an acre. Nestled in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the view in all directions is of gently undulating East Devon countryside. A long driveway provides parking for numerous vehicles and leads to a large double garage/carport with a good sized workshop. With three vehicular entrances, there is plenty of scope for separate parking for the annexe and for ease of bringing machinery into the garden.
The original cottage has a long history and has been adapted in more recent years to create the inviting home that it is today, with accommodation comprising: three double bedrooms and family bathroom, sitting/dining room with large fireplace and bread oven, kitchen/breakfast room and front and rear entrances with a large porch at the back.
The annexe also has front and rear entrances, a small kitchen, double bedroom, modern shower room and a large lounge/dining room. This space is ideal for a family member or would offer a great holiday letting opportunity to generate income if desired.
The garden is generous, at about a third of an acre comprising mainly lawned areas with a number of small trees and shrubs and hedge boundaries with the surrounding fields and lane.

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.
