Description

A stunning, spacious contemporary home, flooded with light and offering luxurious living in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with wonderful views of the Coly Valley and surrounding countryside. Built in 2008 this is the central south facing attached house of three barn conversion style properties grouped around a courtyard. Although situated in a peaceful rural location, the property has fibre broadband (to the house) connectivity to facilitate working from home and is only 4 miles from Honiton where the train station provides main line services to London and Exeter and the A30 road links to Exeter and the airport. The smaller, historic town of Colyton is just 3.5 miles away.

The accommodation (approximately 2,640 square feet), comprises:
Entrance hall with turning staircase rising to the first floor, sitting room with wood burner and large windows and French doors offering views over the rear garden and the countryside beyond, a large study with bespoke fitted Neville Johnson oak bookcases, desk and cabinets and French doors onto the terrace, ground floor w.c., rear lobby/coat and boot area, a utility room and a spectacular large open plan kitchen/dining/living room, approximately 35`10` x 33`5` with partially vaulted ceiling, skylights and two sets of French doors to the garden.

On the first floor, a bright landing leads to three double bedrooms, one en-suite and a family bathroom, whilst a further door opens to a separate galleried area above the living/dining space and beyond to the master bedroom. This is a wonderful, luxurious light space with large triangular window set into the gable end offering fabulous countryside views and opening onto a balcony from where steps lead down to the garden. The bedroom has been cleverly designed to provide a large built-in wardrobe, which stands alone, forming a dressing area behind the bed and leading to a generous en-suite bathroom.

Attention to detail is key in this architect designed house with external finishes blending a mixture of flint stone, painted timber boarding with high specification large timber windows to maximise the light and views. Exposed oak timbers, oak doors, under- floor heating and quality wooden floors throughout the ground floor complement the simplicity and substance of the design and the practical open plan living areas.

Outside, at the front of the property, is a large shared gravelled courtyard area which leads to a double garage. At the back and to both sides, the attractive, landscaped gardens and lawns wrap around the house with plenty of private terraced areas for al fresco entertaining.

Colyton is a attractive, historic town with a village feel and a range of local facilities including health centre, library, butcher`s, baker`s, pharmacy, pubs, cafes and convenience stores, 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, popular with tourists. 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 6 miles away, with the seaside resort of Lyme Regis just 10.5 miles to the east, and Sidmouth just under 13 miles to the west.
