Property of the week: Myrtle Cottage, Colyford

This charming and slightly quirky cottage is situated right in the heart of the pretty village of Colyford and is a stone's throw from conveniences such as an excellent shop, a butcher's and a cosy pub.

The semi-detached dwelling is Grade II Listed with appealing Georgian sash windows and a small walled garden to the front adding to its delightful chocolate box appearance.

Inside, beyond the spacious hallway, there's a formal sitting room at the front of the house that would act equally well as an overflow sleeping space.

A further reception room can be found at the rear of the property offering sitting and dining space and leading on to the kitchen, which has been attractively decorated in a country cottage style. From the kitchen, a stable door opens to a walled rear courtyard garden, which offers complete privacy.

On the first floor are two well-proportioned double bedrooms and a linen cupboard. The family bathroom can be found on the ground floor and has both a bath and a shower.

A very useful outbuilding with enough space to house bikes, canoes or for storage purposes, can be accessed from the courtyard across a neighbouring cottage.

The property comes with no onward chain.
