The Elms, Colyford, Devon

A sleek and bright, detached chalet-style house, tucked away in the corner of a quiet cul-de-sac, less than two miles away from the coast at Seaton and Axmouth. The property has undergone a comprehensive programme of refurbishment over the past 13 years by the current owner (a retired architect) and as you may imagine, there is lots of light! Benefitting from ample parking (as well as two garages) and a good-sized, low maintenance, private garden, this property is a must-see for anyone seeking a modern, yet versatile home in a great location.

The well-proportioned accommodation briefly comprises; reception hall with impressive part glazed staircase, cloak room, living/dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, study/bedroom three, and a stunning full height conservatory with under floor heating, the first floor has two double bedrooms, master en-suite, and a bathroom.

The property occupies a generous plot, with a level lawned garden, sheltered by a mixture of conifer and other trees, including a beautiful Golden Chain Tree (Laburnum) to the front. There is a large sunny patio area adjoining the property, embellished with trellises and climbing plants – perfect for Al- fresco dining and entertaining or simply enjoying the peace and quiet of a summer`s evening.

Along with spacious parking, are the aforementioned garages. A single garage adjoining the property and a detached double with internal staircase leading to a large attic space, offering potential for use as an office or hobbies room, subject to consents being sought. There is also an integral garden store.
