Full Description

A beautifully situated detached 1930`s house set in a large garden of just under half an acre with fabulous rural views. The house is along a quiet lane about half a mile from the village centre and ideally placed for Colyton Grammar school. With a pretty frontage and set back slightly from the lane, the house is very appealing. Internally, the decoration and fittings are a little dated and we believe that a new owner may wish to extend whilst modernising the property. With a large plot, there is plenty of scope for extending if desired. On the first floor, a bright open landing leads to four bedrooms (two doubles and two singles) and a family bathroom. At ground level, the entrance hall leads to a large living room with fireplace and doors to the rear garden. The views from this rooms are fabulous. On the other side of the hall is a dining room which leads to the kitchen at the back of the house. There is a utility room off the kitchen with a door to the garden and a WC.
The house is has double glazed windows and oil fire central heating. The boiler has been regularly serviced and a new oil tank was installed in 2023.
This is an exciting opportunity to purchase a very well situated home with a delightful garden and glorious views.
