We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Ideally positioned within walking distance of the town centre and local amenities, this attractive detached chalet-style home offers well-proportioned accommodation, off-road parking and exciting potential for buyers looking to create a home to their own taste.
Believed to date from the late-1970s, the property forms one of a pair and combines stone and rendered elevations beneath a tiled roof, with dormer windows providing useful first-floor accommodation.
On the ground floor, the welcoming entrance hall leads to a separate WC, comfortable double aspect living room and kitchen/dining room.
A useful utility room has been created from part of the former garage, while storage remains to the front with electric roller door, providing valuable additional space.
Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, including two good-sized double bedrooms and a smaller third bedroom, together with a shower room and landing.
The property benefits from part double glazing, gas central heating, solar panels, and views to nearby hills.
Whilst the accommodation would benefit from some updating and modernisation, it presents an excellent opportunity for purchasers seeking a property with scope to improve and personalise.
Outside, the property enjoys gardens to both the front and rear, together with off-road parking for one or two vehicles.
The front garden is predominantly paved and complemented by mature trees and established shrubs, creating a pleasant approach to the property.
The rear garden features a raised flower bed extending across the width of the plot, with pathways to either side and a timber garden shed.
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 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. TENURE Freehold.
