About
Occupying an elevated position on a sought-after residential road, around half a mile from the heart of the historic town of Colyton, this semi-detached bungalow offers an exciting opportunity to create a wonderful home.
Requiring complete modernisation throughout, the property provides excellent potential for buyers looking to renovate and personalise to their own style and needs.
The accommodation includes three bedrooms, with the third offering flexibility as a second reception room, home office or study.
At the front is a spacious living/dining room with a bay window and an open fireplace, while the kitchen is positioned at the rear, overlooking the garden. There is also a shower room and separate WC.
The existing layout is both practical and versatile, with further potential to convert the loft, subject to the necessary planning consents and building regulations.
Outside, the property is approached via a lawned front garden and a long, sloping driveway that levels out alongside the bungalow, providing access to a single garage.
The private rear garden enjoys an attractive outlook across the surrounding Devon countryside and features mature trees, established shrubs and hedging, together with a paved terrace adjoining the rear of the property.
LOCALITY Colyton is a pretty and historic town with a village feel with a range of local facilities including health centre, library, butcher`s, baker, convenience stores, fish and chip shop, pubs, tea rooms, a garden centre and a variety of small shops and services.

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 is just over 2.5 miles away, with the seaside resort of Lyme Regis to the east, just 7 miles and Sidmouth to the west just under 11 miles.
