Substantial 3 double bedroom property with double garage located in a semi-rural position within walking distance of Colyton with grounds and field extending to approx. 2.5 acres.
Location:
The historic town of Colyton is a picturesque and popular destination with a thriving community. It boasts good shopping facilities, Public Library, Health Centre, Inns, Restaurants, Churches and, of course, the famous Tramway leading through Colyton stopping at Colyford and arriving at the coastal town of Seaton. There are a number of good primary and secondary schools in the area including the local primary school along with the renowned Colyton Grammar School. The city of Exeter, with its regional airport, is some twenty miles to the west, and the mainline rail link to London (Waterloo) is at Axminster, approximately seven miles away. The popular World Heritage Coastal resorts of Sidmouth, Seaton and Lyme Regis are all within a short drive.

From the top of Colyton Market Place (by the Library), take Queen Street down to Queen's Square and follow this road around to the right into King Street. Drive over the bridge and then bear left where the road forks and continue towards Northleigh. Follow this road for approx. 400m. Willhayne House is on the right hand side behind a high natural stone wall. At the end of the wall turn right up the bridlepath, past the sign for Willhayne Cottage on the post. After 100 metres the property will be found on the right hand side.
The Property:
Originally converted to residential accommodation in 1948, this is a truly interesting and unique attached property which has been thoughtfully developed initially from two outbuildings and extended into a third outbuilding in the 1960s.As such, it retains many character features, including extensive parquet and quarry tiled flooring and wooden panel internal doors. The current vendors have made a number of sympathetic improvements to the property over the 14 years that they have lived there, most notably the addition of a beautiful hardwood 'Amdega' conservatory which includes some lovely wrought iron detailing, cleverly concealed roof blinds and underfloor heating.The property benefits from oil-fired central heating plus an LPG gas-fired cooking hob and has efficient wooden double glazed windows. There are also two wood burning stoves, one in each of the main reception rooms.The grounds of the property extend to approximately 2.5 acres and include a 2-acre field which drains particularly well and has been used in the past as a successful vineyard. There is a double garage with pitched, tiled roof built in the 1990s, a potting shed with log store and good-sized wooden stable and summer house.Willhayne Cottage is in a beautiful semi-rural location within walking distance of Colyton Town. It is a substantial property which offers generously proportioned accommodation and land suitable for a number of uses. We would recommend viewing at your earliest convenience.
