A substantial detached bungalow set within generous 0.22-acre private gardens in the heart of East Devon.


An elegant three/four-bedroom detached bungalow offering spacious, flexible accommodation, mature south-facing gardens and no onward chain.
The Property
Occupying a peaceful position at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, 18 Springfields is a deceptively spacious detached bungalow, beautifully arranged to provide versatile single-storey living. Set within established private gardens and enjoying a desirable southerly aspect, the property offers a rare combination of privacy, comfort and convenience in a sought-after East Devon village setting.
The approach is via a gravelled driveway, providing parking for three vehicles and access to the garage. A spacious reception hallway creates an immediate sense of scale, finished with attractive Karndean wood-effect flooring and providing access to the principal accommodation, garage and rear gardens.
Accommodation
The flexible layout includes three generous bedrooms, with an additional fourth bedroom currently used as a home office. This adaptable room could equally serve as a dining room, guestbedroom or study, depending on requirements.
The kitchen/dining room is a bright and practical space, fitted with a range of white base and wall units, some with glazed fronts, complemented by laminate work surfaces. Integrated and practical features include an electric hob with oven beneath and extractor over, inset sink, space and plumbing for a slimline dishwasher, and an island with under-counter provision for both fridge and freezer. A large walk-in pantry provides excellent additional storage. The dining area offers ample space for a table and chairs, with a glazed door opening directly onto the south-facing patio, ideal for outdoor dining. The principal bedroom is a comfortable double room overlooking the rear garden and benefits from a newly fitted en suite bathroom. Finished to a high standard, the en suite includes underfloor heating, fully tiled walls, a double-ended bath with shower over, WC, vanity unit with inset basin and a dual-fuel heated towel rail. Bedroom two is another well-proportioned double room with a large picture window overlooking the rear garden and a range of fitted wardrobes. Bedroom three is a smaller room with an outlook over the side garden. A separate utility room adds further practicality, with a skylight, part-tiled walls, additional sink, worktop space, wall units and space and plumbing for both washing machine and tumble dryer. The airing cupboard houses a recently replaced Worcester boiler, with new radiators installed throughout.
The living room is a generous, well-proportioned dual-aspect reception room overlooking the gardens. French doors open directly onto the patio, creating a seamless connection between the interior and the outdoor entertaining space.

Colyford is an attractive East Devon village located in the picturesque Axe Valley, a National landscape area. Springfields is within walking distance of a range of local amenities, including the parish church, two public houses, post office, well-stocked general store, butcher and village hall. The renowned Colyton Grammar School is also within easy reach.
The coast at Seaton is approximately two miles away and is connected by a cycle path through the nature reserve, offering lovely walks, bird hides and access to the Jurassic Coast. Regular bus services run to Seaton, Lyme Regis and Axminster, approximately five miles away, where there is a mainline railway station on the Exeter to Waterloo line.

The gardens are a particular feature of 18 Springfields, offering privacy, colour and a wonderful sense of space. To the front, a lawned area is bordered by established hedging and an attractive selection of flowering shrubs. A fully fitted electric vehicle charging point is attached to the garage.
Side access leads through a wooden gate to the patio and rear garden, where an outside water tap is also provided. The main gardens can be accessed from both the sitting room and kitchen, opening onto a circular patio area set within a gravelled surround, with raised borders, a herb garden and flowering plants. Beyond, the garden is predominantly laid to lawn, with raised vegetable beds to one side and a further kitchen garden and paved pathway leading to the log cabin.
Log Cabin
The substantial log cabin, measuring approximately 4.5m x 3.5m, is double walled, fully insulated and equipped with power, lighting and internet connection. Set on paved terraces to two sides, it offers a peaceful and versatile retreat, with large windows and double entrance doors allowing plenty of natural light. To the side, a covered pergola provides additional seating space, ideal for enjoying the evening sun or use as an exercise area. A further shed provides useful storage for garden tools.
The wide rear garden is fully enclosed by a Devon bank and timber fencing, with views across neighbouring fields and countryside.
