Absolutely charming, detached cottage situated in a pretty no-through lane on the outskirts of Colyton. The property enjoys a lovely rural position and has the benefit of being a mere half a mile from the centre of this pretty little East Devon town. Formerly two workers cottages, the property is surprisingly spacious and although set out as two bedrooms, the first floor, with a large Jack and Jill style bathroom, could be re-arranged to provide three if so desired. At ground level, is a dining hall with recently installed multi-fuel stove, newly fitted kitchen with replacement oven and hob and an L shaped lounge again with a recently installed multi-fuel stove plus a conservatory. Outside, there is a pretty courtyard garden and a good sized outhouse; ideal for bike and log storage or could be used as a workshop as there is light and power connected. The cottage oozes character with delightful features including window seats and exposed timers, having undergone a good deal of general maintenance and improvement under the current ownership.

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, wet fish and seafood outlet at the recently refurbished mill, butcher, hairdressers, post office, small stationers, pharmacy, health centre, garden centre, library and a few other individual shops. On the edge of the town is the tramway station which operates services throughout the summer along the Axe Estuary to Seaton. The Jurassic Coast and pretty harbour at Axmouth is just 2.5 miles away and the ever-popular seaside resort of Lyme Regis just 7 miles to the east. 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. 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.

A stone wall forms the boundary at the front with the road. Within this wall is a pathway right across the front of the house, where at one end, there is space for pots or a small patio table and chairs. At the far end, the path leads to the conservatory and the small courtyard garden. There is storage here for the gas canisters, tucked away out of sight behind a brush wood screening. A further higher stone wall forms the rear boundary and to the side is panel fencing with a planting border running alongside. This fence forms the division between the patio garden and the lower gravelled courtyard area. Beneath the gravel area here, is the site for the sewage treatment plant. Timber fencing and a timber gate gives pedestrian access on to the lane.
