The Butts, Colyton, Devon

Detached period stone cottage situated in the heart of Colyton with three double bedrooms including master en-suite, garden and parking.

Ropewalk Cottage is a detached stone property situated in the heart of Colyton, in a quiet location at the end of The Butts, just a short walk from the town centre and amenities. Dating back to we believe the 1800s, we understand that the property gets its name from a history of ropemaking within the cottage with the adjacent river running up through the hills used for ropewalking.
The property has plentiful period features that you would expect from a property of this era including exposed stone walls, timbers and beams, alongside character window seats, solid wood doors and original flooring.
An embellished wooden front door gives access to the property into a spacious entrance hall with deep built in wooden storage and stone flooring flowing throughout.
On the right-hand side is the living room/dining space which is a spacious and light room with multiple aspects, two timber window seats and a door leading out to the rear garden alongside a central gas fireplace with bronze style decorative surround.
The kitchen/breakfast room is fully fitted with a range of matching cream base and wall units, tiled splashback, laminate worktops and sink. There is a freestanding large gas oven with six burner gas hob, alongside integrated washing machine and space for a tall fridge freezer and table and chairs.
Below the stairs is also a cloakroom with WC, wash hand basin and space for a tumble dryer.
Stairs rise to the spacious first floor landing with exposed timber flooring and feature stone wall alongside large airing cupboard with double doors and slatted shelving which houses the gas central heating combination boiler.
To the first floor there are two double bedrooms alongside a fully fitted shower room with tiled floor, walk in shower, WC and wash hand basin alongside alcove slatted shelving.
A door leads to a second flight of stairs up to the master bedroom which is a large room with several Velux windows and built in wardrobes, alongside an en-suite shower room with walk in shower, WC and wash hand basin.
The cottage has wooden double glazing and gas fired central heating throughout and has the benefit of no onward chain.

Outside: To the front of the property is a stone wall boundary with large wooden gates which provide access to hardstanding parking to one side for several vehicles. A low iron gate with steps down gives pedestrian access to the front door with the area laid to gravel.
A tall ornate wrought iron gate sat within a brick arch leads into the private and pretty garden area which is surrounded by the stone wall boundary and wooden fencing to the rear.
Adjoining the cottage is an undercover open wooden porch canopy providing seating space with decorative stained-glass window. The remainder of the garden is laid to lawn interspersed with mature shrubs and hedges. A pathway to one side leads to the end of the garden to an area of gravel with large timber outbuilding with power and undercover area.
