Property description
Substantial 3 bedroom detached property in a sought-after cul-de-sac location on an excellent plot with double garage.
Location:
Colyford boasts a thriving community with facilities including 2 public houses/restaurants, a butchers shop, Post Office/general stores, Parish Church and village hall and the highly regarded Colyton Grammar school. An historic tram runs alongside the stunning Axe Estuary, and Colyford common, which links both Colyton and Colyford with the nearby Victorian seaside resort of Seaton. The property is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and is close to the Jurassic Coast. Colyford is approximately a 45 minute drive from Exeter and the M5 motorway, and Exeter International Airport. The ancient rebel town of Colyton is only a mile away and offers a wide selection of excellent local facilities, including a primary school. Axminster is about 5 miles inland, with mainline rail services to London Waterloo and Exeter.
Directions:
On entering Colyford on the A3052 from Seaton, take the second left-hand turn on to Fairview Lane. Take the second left into Springfields and no. 3 will be found on the left-hand side after a short distance.
The Property:
This detached property is situated in a most sought-after, leafy cul-de-sac where the properties are on excellent plots and set back from the quiet road. The property benefits from many attributes that would be expected from a building of its era such as large windows and generous room proportions.The garden is worth particular mention, being of excellent proportions and level while remaining easy to maintain. There is a generous area to the side with electric point which would lend itself to the storage of a caravan or similar.Inside, the property is well designed with a generous entrance hall and galleried landing with additional space ideal for creating a home office or reading area. There is a covered passageway linking the house to the double garage and utility room behind. Also, to the rear of the garage is a separate workshop room with lockable door.The property has been enjoyed for many years by the current owner and has been well maintained with majority uPVC windows and doors but would now benefit from someone to update the interior and put their own stamp on it.
