House For Sale £340,000
An absolutely delightful cottage that has been finished and presented to a very high standard under the current ownership. When the owners bought the property, it had been let for many years and was in need of a good overhaul. As a result the new owners had a large project on their hands. All ceilings and walls had to be replastered, some roof work was carried out and chimneys were lined before any cosmetic work began. Kitchen and bathroom were both replaced and new multi-fuel stoves were fitted. The property was completely redecorated inside and out and new floorings added. The result is a very stylish and comfortable home.
The property is situated centrally in the village of Whitford just a mile and a half from Colyton. The private front garden is a sun trap being on the southerly side and extends the living space to the outside. On entering the cottage, a little hallway with stairs to the first floor sits in the middle of the house with one reception room either side. To the right is a sitting room and to the left a dining room, which leads on to the kitchen. The kitchen is an excellent combination of modern and classic, fully fitted and sleek with plenty of light from Velux windows above. The bathroom is on the ground floor and beautifully appointed. This is a room that you want to spend time in! Upstairs there are two double bedrooms, one with lots of built-in storage and the other a larger room with ample space for furniture.
Whitford is a pretty village, with a warm and friendly community offering various activities centred around the village hall. Unusually, it also benefits from a regular bus service to Axminster, Colyton and Seaton. The nearby market town of Axminster offers a good range of day to day needs including shopping, doctors, leisure centre and banking and a mainline train service to London Waterloo and Exeter. The beautiful Jurassic Coast town of Lyme Regis is just over 7 miles to the east and Exeter is around 28 miles to the west. The pretty Axmouth harbour and Seaton beach are just 4.5 miles to the south.
