2 bedroom property for sale in Colyford

A Grade II Listed former farmhouse of some age with origins dating back to Circa 1400`s. The house was originally one property with the adjoining neighbour but was split into two parts some 60-70 years ago.

The house sits in a beautiful, peaceful location between Colyford and Colyton within a small settlement of neighbouring properties and enjoys fabulous long-range views towards Axmouth village, Axe Cliff and the sea.

The accommodation is quite spacious despite being only two bedrooms as the rooms are all of large proportions, with the galley style kitchen being the exception to this.

The ground around the property lies mainly to the rear with an additional piece of garden to the front along with a stone outhouse. The plot is generous, measuring just over half an acre, with road access to the lane above.

The accommodation comprises two large bedrooms on the first floor, with a bathroom at ground level along with an attractive reception room with flagstone floor and open fire, large sitting/dining room with fabulous Beer stone Inglenook fireplace, a galley style kitchen and a small utility/store room.

Outside, to the front is a stone out building with a small piece of garden attached, which is currently used for keeping chickens. At the back of the house, there is a small level area where the oil tank is situated and a small outhouse (former w.c.).

The ground rises slightly from here and gently slopes up to the lane behind. There are lovely views down the valley to the estuary and the sea from the land and the first floor.

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 highly 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.
