Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
  • Semi-Detached Cottage
  • Beautiful Garden
  • Three Bedrooms
  • Sitting Room, Dining Room
  • Study/Hall
  • Quarter of a Mile from Town Centre
An absolutely delightful semi-detached cottage offering three bedroom accommodation with a beautiful secluded west facing garden at the back. The Grade II Listed house is situated just a quarter of a mile from the centre of the town. Internally, there are plenty of lovely quirky features as you would expect with a house of considerable age. The accommodation comprises two good doubles and a generous single bedroom, bathroom and second WC (both on the first floor), entrance porch, hall/study with stairs rising, dining room, sitting room and kitchen with Rayburn. At the back of the house is a very pretty garden, the first part being a courtyard style with ornamental pond and a summer house. Through an archway, the remainder of the garden opens up to a surprisingly large space with lawn, vegetable garden and shed. The garden is very private. The house is nicely presented and has gas central heating throughout.

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, 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, linking Colyton with Colyford and Seaton. The Jurassic Coast and pretty harbour at Axmouth is just 2 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. 25 miles and the airport just outside Exeter is approx. 19 miles.

Places of interest

    We are dedicated Licensed Estate Agents with many years industry experience (over 60 years between us!) covering East Devon and West Dorset but occasionally outside these areas if required. We are a small but mighty team of ladies which is something that happened by coincidence, rather than design. Although, we have found it gives us a compassionate edge over some other agents; something that can be invaluable throughout the buying and selling process. We have a passion for property combined with traditional values of service, with an emphasis on excellent communication. We want to match your property to the right buyer and make the whole process as stress free as we can, leaving you with the confidence of being able to recommend our service to others. Our aim: to make estate agency something to be proud of.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on April 15, 2022

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on April 15, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
