This characterful period property sits in a quiet secluded location in the heart of the pretty market town of Colyton.

The detached four-bedroom house has recently been reconfigured and updated, and the results are highly appealing, providing a spacious and bright homely environment.

The kitchen/dining room is the main hub of the house

Inside, the sitting room is a well-proportioned, comfortable space with French doors opening to the garden and a multi-fuel stove set on a stone hearth acting as the focal point. Fitted shelves to the recesses on each side of the chimney and the engineered oak floor add to the appeal of this room.

The main hub of the house is the large and light kitchen/dining/living room which provides ample space for dining and soft furnishing too and has a lovely outlook over the garden.

The kitchen area is fitted with a range of cool-white shaker-style units with wooden worktops and a matching centre island with a breakfast bar and storage below.

This flows into the lovely garden room, a bright relaxing space with French doors and a double-glazed glass roof to the rear part of the room. There’s also a handy study on this floor.

Outside, there is a lovely stone walled garden

On the first floor, there are three bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The principal bedroom is a highlight with a vaulted ceiling with beams and a triple aspect with windows to both sides and French doors opening to a wrought iron decorative balcony with an outside light. It benefits from a dressing area with a double built-in wardrobe and an ensuite shower room.

A further L-shaped bedroom consumes the whole of the second floor and has a walk-in wardrobe and a Velux window to the rear.

Outside, a generously sized stone walled garden with lovely views of St Andrew’s Church sits at the back of the house.

It features a small, paved seating area and a further decked area a little way along the garden.

A large central lawn is surrounded by well-stocked flower borders with mature shrubs and trees, including an ancient apple tree.

A raised gravel seating area is sited in the far corner of the garden, which is a lovely spot to relax and enjoy the evening sunshine. There is also an interesting stone-built shed/store/workshop.
