Burnards Field Road, Colyton, Devon

Situated in an elevated position with stunning far-reaching views across the town and surrounding countryside, this 1970s semi-detached bungalow offers an excellent opportunity for buyers looking to put their own stamp on a well-maintained home.

Recently redecorated throughout with new carpets, the property is ready to move into but would benefit from modernisation of the kitchen and bathroom, presenting fantastic scope to add value. The home is warmed by gas central heating via a modern Worcester combination boiler, installed in November 2020.

The accommodation comprises an entrance porch leading into a welcoming hallway, a spacious lounge/dining room with serving hatch to the kitchen, two bedrooms, a bathroom with separate WC, and an extended kitchen incorporating a generous breakfast/dining area with direct access to the rear garden.

Outside, the bungalow is set well back from the road behind an open-plan front garden, with a long driveway providing off-road parking for at least three vehicles and leading to a single garage. To the rear is a delightful, private garden laid mainly to lawn with a variety of mature shrubs and hedging, enjoying a peaceful setting backing onto open fields.

Offering generous accommodation, superb views and excellent potential, this is an ideal home for those seeking a property with scope to personalise in a highly desirable location.


LOCALITY
Colyton is a pretty and historic town with a village feel with a range of local facilities including health centre, library, butcher`s, pharmacy, convenience stores, fish and chip shop, pubs, tea rooms, a garden centre and a variety of small shops and services. The beautiful Norman Church is the centre point of the town, which is most famous for its role in the 1685 Monmouth Rebellion. 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 nearby Colyton Grammar School is another draw for the area as the school consistently appears in the top 10 Grammar Schools in the country. The Jurassic Coast and pretty harbour at Axmouth are just over 2 miles away, with the seaside resort of Lyme Regis just 7 miles to the east, and Sidmouth just under 11 miles to the west.
