About
Centrally located in the village of Colyford, this substantial Grade II Listed detached home is rich in character and versatility.
Previously operated as a successful bed and breakfast, the current layout would allow a new owner to reinstate this use with ease.
Alternatively, the property offers a generous and flexible family home, well suited to a variety of living arrangements.
The accommodation comprises six bedrooms, two of which are on the ground floor, making the property ideal for multi-generational living if required.
A range of well-proportioned reception rooms includes a charming living room featuring a striking inglenook fireplace with bread oven and flagstone flooring.
Across the hallway lies the dining room, which flows through to a breakfast room and onward to the kitchen. Further practical spaces include a separate utility room and a laundry room/study.
Outside, the property benefits from ample off-road parking for several vehicles, along with a substantial timber garage fitted with a remote-controlled door.
The garden is positioned to the side of the garage and to the rear of the house, offering a private and secluded setting with a patio seating area, lawn, shrub borders and mature hedging.
Throughout, the house displays an abundance of period charm, with exposed original beams and many square leaded windows complete with traditional monkey tail handles.
