Description

St David`s is a charming double-fronted semi-detached 1920s home, pleasantly situated in a short no-through road within reach of the town centre. The property retains a wealth of original period features, including sash windows, picture rails, fireplaces and internal doors, but would now benefit from a programme of updating, which presents an excellent opportunity for a purchaser to update and enhance a characterful home to their own taste.

An overhanging porch leads to a period front door which opens into an entrance hall with staircase rising to the first floor. There is a convenient ground floor WC. Both the dining room and living room feature bay sash windows to the front, each enjoying distant countryside views and fitted with gas fires.

The kitchen includes a pantry with power and lighting and opens into a useful lean-to with plumbing and waste for a washing machine. The lean-to with single-glazed timber windows and a polycarbonate roof provides access to the rear garden.

To the first floor are three bedrooms. Bedroom three has a rear-facing window and built-in wardrobe and leads through to bedroom two. Bedroom two and the main bedroom both enjoy lovely countryside views. The spacious shower room comprises a WC, wash hand basin and shower, along with a large airing cupboard housing the wall mounted Worcester combi boiler. Worthy of particular mention is the generous attic space which, subject to the necessary consents, offers exciting potential to create a superb master bedroom suite.

The property sits within generous, gently upward sloping gardens to both the front and rear. The well-stocked front garden offers the potential to create off-road parking for several vehicles (subject to consents), while still retaining ample garden space. The long rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with established shrubs, a fruit tree, wooden shed and greenhouse, and enjoys beautiful rural views from various points.

St David`s further benefits from gas central heating and presents significant scope for enlargement and improvement, making it an appealing opportunity for buyers seeking a period home with charm and future potential.

Colyton is a pretty little market town (more like a village) with a small town centre offering a good range of daily needs including two convenience stores, fish and chip shop, butcher, hairdressers, post office, small stationers, pharmacy, health centre, garden centre, library and a few other individual shops. On the edge of the town is the Seaton tramway station which operates services throughout the summer along the Axe Estuary, linking Colyton and Seaton, which is very popular with tourists. The Jurassic Coast and pretty harbour at Axmouth is just 2 miles away and the ever-popular seaside resort of Lyme Regis just 7 miles to the east. There is a primary school in the town and the well regarded Colyton Grammar School is just over a mile away. A beautiful Church is at the heart of the town and there is an interesting variety of architecture. Nearby Axminster (6 miles), has a mainline station with regular trains to London Waterloo and Exeter. The city of Exeter is approx. 25mins by car and the airport just outside Exeter is approx. 19 miles.
