Property description
Description
A tucked away and spacious property which is ripe for improvement enjoying delightful rural views and River Axe Estuary and Lyme Bay glimpses set in substantial grounds of getting on for half an acre. It comprises four principal components; the main bungalow, an attached independent cottage, a detached studio bungalow and a detached newly built single storey, residential or home office, annexe.
St Nicholas lies at the gated end of a shared private drive and has in the recent past provided not only extensive and versatile family accommodation but also a limited number of rooms for care of the elderly. It is likely to appeal to an array of prospective purchasers including those requiring separate but adjacent units of accommodation for family members along with perhaps a continuing modest commercial element/Income Potential.
Others will have an eye, subject to all necessary consents being obtainable, to a wholesale residential redevelopment to provide one (or maybe more) homes of distinction that would complement the scale of the site, the enviable views and the proximity to the sea at Seaton not forgetting of course perhaps taking advantage of the proximity of the highly respected Colyton Grammar School which is less than a mile away. Interested applicants are advised to make their own enquiries with the Local Planning Authority, East Devon District Council. Tel: 01395 517475. Website: eastdevon.gov.uk.
