Ridgeway Lane, Colyton

This character-packed dwelling, which was once two workers cottages, is situated in a quiet rural position on a pretty no-through lane on the outskirts of the little market town of Colyton. Over the course of time the building has been converted, and what stands now is a surprisingly spacious cottage filled with charming features.

The current owners have invested in improving and maintaining the house which has seen re-felting work on the roof, a relining of two chimneys, and installing two new multi-fuel stoves and a gas combination boiler.

On the ground floor, there's a lengthy dining hall with a charming window seat and a multi-fuel stove set in fireplace surround. The kitchen/breakfast room has been re-fitted with cream shaker style units and wood effect laminated work surfaces. The L shaped lounge has a favourable dual aspect, a stone fireplace and double doors to a conservatory where there is a pretty outlook of the fields opposite.

On the first floor, there are two bedrooms and a large Jack and Jill style bathroom that could be re-arranged to provide a third bedroom, if so desired.

Outside, a pretty country garden is surrounded by traditional stone walling. The patio and a gravelled courtyard area are filled with pots and a wealth of mature shrubs that combine to create an agreeable environment.

There's also a stone built outhouse with power and light.
