Drupe Farm Court, Colaton Raleigh

This charming cottage style property forms part of a pleasant little development of converted farm buildings, located towards the edge of the popular East Devon Village. Colaton Raleigh is situated between the renowned seaside towns of Sidmouth and Budleigh Salterton and is immediately surrounded by beautiful countryside. There are a selection of useful amenities in the village including a public house, village shop and a bus service that connect directly between Sidmouth and Exmouth (Via Otterton and Budleigh Salterton) on a daily basis.

The accommodation briefly comprises of tiled porch over a timber front door which opens onto a spacious reception area. The living/kitchen/dining area enjoys a dual aspect with wonderful views across the development and beyond to the surrounding countryside. The kitchen area offers a great range of cream fronted base and wall mounted units with an integral cooker with a four ring hob above, space for additional appliances, and a useful storage cupboard. The living and dining area will easily accommodate all the necessary furniture to relax and dine in comfort.

A door to the rear of the living area leads through to an inner hallway and the bedroom accommodation. There are two double bedrooms, both with their own fitted storage. Bedroom 1 has a westerly facing window that overlooks the central courtyard of the development and bedroom 2 looks to the east with delightful views of the communal gardens and the countryside beyond. The bathroom comprises a white suite with tiled flooring including a timber panelled bath, separate shower cubicle with an electric shower unit over, a pedestal wash basin and a low level wc.

Planning permission has recently been approved to convert the existing loft space to provide 1 additional bedroom, living space and en-suite, along with a restricted height storeroom. To facilitate this loft conversion the proposal will place a new gable end to the front southern elevation along with an enlarged porchway sited on the same southern elevation. Then to the side eastern elevation provide a feature gable end window which will utilise the impressive views towards the coast near Ladram Bay and on the rear North elevation a number of roof lights to service the proposed new bedroom and en-suite. Alternatively, the present roof space is partially boarded and is an excellent option for storage.

The property enjoys its own private southerly facing garden in addition to the excellent communal grounds. The private garden is fully enclosed with a wooden fence along each boundary and a series of established plants and shrubs to provide colour and interest. The property benefits from two allocated parking spaces and there are several further spaces allocated for visitors.

A lovely cottage in a delightful position. Early inspection recommended.
