2 bedroom cottage for sale

This lovely cottage has been thoughtfully extended in the past and has a fabulous walled garden. The cottage is attached on one side and situated in a tucked away position close to the centre of the town, just a few hundred yards away from shops and facilities. Internally, the accommodation is well presented and comprises two double bedrooms, a spacious bathroom, entrance hall, welcoming lounge with fireplace, utility room with ground floor cloakroom and a kitchen overlooking and leading to the walled garden. At the side of the house is a small parking space for one car and a gate leading into the delightful garden, which is a good size for a town centre property.

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 over 2.5 miles away, with the seaside resort of Lyme Regis to the east, just 7 miles and Sidmouth to the west just under 11 miles.
