Burnards Field Rd, Colyton, Devon

Situated on a popular residential road just half a mile from the town centre, this distinctive tower-bungalow offers an appealing combination of spacious ground-floor living, additional first-floor accommodation and attractive views across Colyton towards the surrounding countryside. With its versatile layout and exciting potential for modernisation, this is a home with much to offer.

Built, we understand, in the late 1980s, this unusual style of property is particularly sought after for its flexibility, providing the convenience of predominantly single-storey living together with additional space ideal for visiting family, guests or hobbies. The property is in good overall condition, but now offers an excellent opportunity for a new owner to introduce their own style and create a home perfectly suited to their needs.

The main accommodation is arranged on the ground floor, with a covered entrance porch opening into a welcoming hallway. From here, the spacious living room provides a comfortable place to relax, while a separate dining room offers an ideal setting for entertaining. The fitted kitchen, bathroom and principal bedroom complete the ground-floor accommodation.
A staircase leads to the first floor, where two further well-proportioned bedrooms enjoy pleasant views across Colyton and the surrounding countryside. A second bathroom serves this floor, creating a particularly useful arrangement for guests or family members seeking their own space and privacy.

Further benefits include gas central heating, uPVC double glazing and solar panels.

An appealing and versatile home in a convenient location, offering the comfort of bungalow living with the added benefit of two first-floor bedrooms and plenty of scope to make it your own. An excellent opportunity for those looking to downsize, retire or simply enjoy a flexible home within easy reach of the town centre.
