3 Bed Detached House For Sale

Nestor is a detached house built, we understand, in the 1920`s situated in an enviable elevated location on the outskirts of Colyton. The accommodation is extremely versatile, briefly comprising: entrance porch, hall, living room, ground floor bedroom / dining room, shower room, utility, large kitchen / dining room, all at ground level; whilst on the first floor, there are two double bedrooms, a single bedroom / cot room and a bathroom. Where the property really excels is in its potential for redevelopment. The part converted attic could become a bedroom suite and there is also an opportunity to re-model the rear ground floor rooms to more contemporary, open plan living (subject to securing the necessary consents).

The large plot, gardens and location of this property are some of the most exciting elements with formal gardens, as well as nature-friendly areas with mature trees and shrubs, perfect for creating a little `hideaway`. The driveway offers ample parking for three – four vehicles and there is a large single garage.

The property would benefit from a programme of modernisation, offering an exciting opportunity to redevelop it into a fabulous family home offering flexibility of use.

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 ½ miles away, with the seaside resort of Lyme Regis to the east, just 7 miles and Sidmouth to the west just under 11 miles.
