4 Queens Court forms part of an attractive development for the over 55s, pleasantly tucked away just moments from the heart of Colyton. Occupying a delightful position within this well-regarded courtyard setting, the property enjoys beautifully maintained communal grounds, some views towards the surrounding countryside and has been extensively updated and improved by the current owners. The property is now exceptionally well-presented throughout and needs to be viewed internally to be fully appreciated. Queens Court enjoys an enviable position close to the centre of Colyton, allowing easy access to the town's range of independent shops, amenities and services. The beautifully maintained communal grounds and peaceful surroundings create a wonderful setting.

Approached via pathways winding through the communal gardens, this mid-terrace property enjoys an attractive cottage style appearance with a combination of exposed stonework and rendered elevations. To the front is a small flower bed together with a small area of lawn and gravelled seating space, ideal for enjoying the peaceful surroundings.

A canopy porch provides shelter above the entrance door, which opens into the hall with a window to the side and a cloakroom fitted with a WC and wash hand basin. The cloakroom has been recently redecorated and benefits from new flooring.

The accommodation flows naturally into the stylish open plan kitchen and dining room, which has been comprehensively refitted with an attractive range of sage green Wren wall and base units complemented by marble effect work surfaces, matching splashbacks and under cabinet lighting. Integrated appliances include an induction hob with extractor hood above, electric oven, microwave and dishwasher, together with a sink unit and a free standing fridge freezer.

Stairs rise to the first floor and useful storage is provided by an understairs cupboard and an additional utility cupboard housing the washing machine.

To the rear of the property is a generously proportioned living room enjoying a pleasant outlook over the garden. French doors with glazed side panels provide direct access outside and allow natural light to flood the room, whilst an electric fire creates an attractive focal point.

The first floor landing provides access to two comfortable double bedrooms, the bathroom and a spacious airing cupboard with slatted shelving. The principal bedroom enjoys views over the rear garden and towards the surrounding hillsides in the distance, and benefits from a large built-in wardrobe together with access to a recently refitted en-suite shower room. Finished to a high standard, the shower room features a large walk-in shower with non-slip tray, contemporary vanity unit incorporating a wash hand basin, WC, attractive tiling and wood-effect flooring.

Directly adjoining the living room is a paved terrace, ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining, with attractive railway sleepers forming a retaining wall and creating a natural divide between the terrace and the raised garden beyond.
