A beautifully bright detached chalet style house situated on a good size level plot of about a quarter of an acre. The property has been comprehensively refurbished in recent years with works including electrics, plumbing, re-plastering, re-arrangement of layout, new kitchen and bathrooms, new dormer window, wall and floor insulation and complete redecoration inside and out.
The front entrance leads into a spacious hallway with stairs rising to the first floor. A large bedroom and bathroom off the hall enables ground floor living if required. Alternatively, the bedroom can be used as a reception room if preferred. The other door off the hall, leads to a good sized lounge with a corner sited wood burning stove for cosy winter nights. The room has large windows and sliding doors to the garden all of which makes it lovely and bright. A door from the lounge opens to the kitchen, which has recently been re-fitted. Beyond the kitchen is a further reception room, which could be a dining room or study. Doors from here open to the utility room and rear garden. Upstairs, there is a large bathroom with a lovely view over the garden and two further bedrooms, one of which has a fabulous view to the Estuary and the sea. With a new gas central heating system and new double glazing, the property is move-in ready.

Wooden gates at the front provide privacy and security. The driveway is laid with gravel and provides parking for numerous vehicles. The rear garden is large and mainly level with plenty of space to both sides of the property. Attached to one side of the house is a garage with utility room at the back and a door into the rear garden.

Colyford village is situated along the Jurassic coast road, just inland from the beach at Seaton and the pretty Axmouth harbour as well as the Axe Estuary, which is a haven for wildfowl. Amenities in the village of Colyford include a Post Office & General Stores, a butcher's shop, two pubs, a church, a village hall and a leisure centre. Colyford is also home to the well regarded Colyton Grammar School. A larger range of facilities can be found at nearby Seaton, which is just over 1.5 miles away or Axminster, 6 miles to the north, where there is a mainline train service to London. The city of Exeter is approx. 23 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.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on April 21, 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

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on April 21, 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
