Smith, Tesco and Boots, as well as a variety of independent shops, restaurants, schools, sports centre/swimming pool, golf club and main line rail link to London (Waterloo).

The Regency coastal resort of Sidmouth is about 9 miles to the south with its wide pebble beach (sand at low tide), long esplanade and range of independent shops and boutiques. Sidmouth lies on a World Heritage Site known as the Jurassic Coast, over which there are delightful picturesque walks and dramatic scenery. The renowned Colyton Grammar School, one of England’s top mixed state schools, is situated about 9.5 miles away. THE PROPERTY The Coach House is an outstanding detached residence set in wonderful gardens and grounds approaching 1/3 acre just a short stroll from the High Street. The traditionally built home has been beautifully maintained during the last thirteen years of current ownership and is a fine example of a family home. The gas centrally heated and double-glazed accommodation has a lovely large entrance hall which leads to the well-proportioned open-plan kitchen/dining room with lovely wooden floorboards and French doors that open out into the rear garden. Leading from this is the charming sitting room with a woodburner. There is also a good-sized utility room and a large ground-floor double bedroom with an en-suite shower room and separate access. This has huge potential to create a separate self-contained annexe. Attached to the side of the house is a useful double-glazed conservatory which has sliding doors to the garden. On the first-floor are the four good-sized bedrooms with lots of built-in wardrobes and excellent views of the garden, town and hills beyond. The principal bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with a sunken bath and a separate shower. The family shower room has a modern white suite. OUTSIDE Worthy of particular mention are the wonderful Southery facing walled rear gardens that are a real asset for the property and are in the main laid to lawn with numerous established shrubs, evergreens and flowers that provide year-round colour and interest. At the far end of the garden is a fantastic outdoor swimming pool with a raised decking around and a decked seating area. There is a concrete flagstone patio area which provides a perfect place to dine outdoors during fine weather. To the rear of the property is a garage with power and light. With a driveway that provides plenty of parking.
