Swan Hill Road, Colyford, Colton, EX24

Rose Cottage is a well presented Grade II listed, three bedroom, period thatched cottage set right in the heart of Colyford Village. The cottage is the end terrace of three properties and has the added benefit of two car parking spaces. There is a courtyard garden to the front and enclosed courtyard to the rear. It has been carefully looked after by the current vendor who has re-thatched the property in recent months and replaced the flooring in the kitchen and shower room. The accommodation spreads over three floors and has attractive character features throughout the property. It is within easy walking distance of the renowned Colyton Grammar School and very close to the village post office stores and butchers. This cottage must be viewed internally to be fully appreciated. A thatch canopy porch leads to a wooden panelled front door, and an inner porch with latch door featuring a glazed panel. The living room boasts a leaded light single-glazed window to the front with window seat beneath and distant views of the surrounding countryside. A wooden mantelpiece sits central to the room providing a focal point with a wall mounted electric fireplace below.
