St Andrews Close, Colyton, Devon, EX24

Charming detached chalet style 2 bedroom 1950’s house which is well presented throughout and situated right in the heart of the character town of Colyton occupying a tucked away location with delightful gardens surrounding.

The Property:
3 St Andrews Close is an attractive 1950’s detached property which is situated in the centre of the charming small town of Colyton. The house, which is tucked away, was purchased approximately 5 years ago by the current owners, who since that time have updated and improved the property. Improvements include fitting a bespoke premium ‘Wren’ kitchen, new flooring and carpets, general redecoration and the landscaping and levelling of the delightful private gardens which are a particular feature of the property enjoying a lovely view of the octagonal church tower. The property is ideally located within a few steps of local shops, GP surgery, several pubs, cafes, the church and within close reach of delightful riverside walks. The property is also close to one of the UK’s top-rated secondary schools, the renowned Colyton Grammar School and therefore is perfectly positioned for families.

Front sliding patio doors open to a porch with an inner door which opens to the entrance hall. A door to the left opens to the good-sized double aspect living room with two large windows overlooking the front gardens and a feature open fireplace. Flagstone style flooring flows through the hallway into the open plan kitchen/dining room at the rear of the property. The kitchen has been comprehensively fitted with a bespoke light grey coloured ‘Wren’ premium kitchen. This kitchen was installed less than two years ago as part of the Infinity Plus range. Attention has been given to every detail, from the positioning of all appliances, even down to the placement of the shelving. The matching base and wall units has attractive integrated under counter lighting and soft closing cupboards and drawers. There are quartz worktops with complimentary tiling surrounding, an undermounted sink, built-in Bosch electric oven, with Neff five burner gas hob and extractor above and an integrated dishwasher. There is ample space for table and chairs, and a door arch opens to the utility, with matching ‘Wren’ base and wall units to the kitchen and includes an integrated full-size fridge freezer, double larder storage unit, a dual washer/dryer, bin/recycling units and a cupboard housing the Worcester gas-fired central heating boiler.

Sliding patio doors from the kitchen give access to a rear conservatory with door to rear garden and additional door to one side leading to a rear access for bin storage etc. In addition, on the ground floor there is a shower room with walk-in large shower, WC, wash basin and part-tiled walls and flooring.

Stairs rise from the entrance wall to the first-floor landing with window overlooking the rear garden. There are two sizable double bedrooms with the principal bedroom being at the rear of the property with window overlooking the church and tower and a door to an en-suite shower room with walk-in fully tiled shower, WC, wash basin. A sliding door opens to over stairs storage which houses the hot water tank. Bedroom 2 is another sizable double bedroom at the front of the property with windows affording views over the pretty town across to the countryside in the distance with fitted wardrobes to the length of one wall.

Outside: Access is gained to St Andrew's Close via a private gate to number 3 which opens to a side garden area which has been levelled and a lawn created with a lawn and laurel hedging to the front which will afford privacy to this area with pretty flower borders and further barked area with flowering shrubs and plants in front of the living room window. A further decorative metal gate covered in foliage opens to the front garden which is not overlooked with mature hedging and small trees with a fence to boundary.
