About
This absolutely fascinating house will appeal to anyone who likes character and history around them. From unusual shaped rooms, to differing levels, the property is quirky and delightful.
The accommodation is set over three floors and is quite flexible, currently providing three generous double bedrooms, large bathroom, spacious landing/study, sitting room, kitchen and dining room.
The property is accessed off Bulls Court, a small no through pedestrian lane and this is currently used as the main entrance (although there is a front door to Dolphin Street as well).
Just outside the back door is a little seating area. The property is one of the older houses in Colyton, its origins dating back to the time of the Monmouth Rebellion, with some later additions.
Situated very close to the town centre, the shops, restaurants, cafes and all amenities are within a short walk.
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.
The beautiful Norman Church is the centre point of the town, which is most famous for 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 is just 2 miles away, with the seaside resort of Lyme Regis to the east, just 7 miles and Sidmouth to the west just under 11 miles.
