Upper Green Croft is a substantial Edwardian detached residence, constructed in the early 1900s and cherished by the same family for over four decades. Located on the outskirts of Colyton, this property boasts generous living spaces with high ceilings and distinctive period features such as arched bay windows and ornamental crown mouldings. Currently, it accommodates three spacious double bedrooms, two inviting reception rooms, a versatile garden room, along with ample attic space ripe for redevelopment, a sizable garage, and mature walled gardens that enhance its charm.
The welcoming entrance hallway leads you to a living room adorned with a bay window and a wood-burning stove, while the formal dining room showcases an elegant fireplace and additional bay window. The kitchen/breakfast area is equipped with fitted units and integrated appliances, complemented by tiled flooring. A light-filled ground floor shower room adds practicality to the layout. The expansive garden room at the rear seamlessly connects to the southerly-facing garden through French doors.
On the first floor are three well-proportioned double bedrooms; one overlooks the front garden, while another features an en-suite shower cubicle. A family bathroom with both a bath and overhead shower is also present alongside a separate WC for convenience. Two spacious interconnected attic rooms offer abundant storage or potential for conversion into additional living spaces upon securing planning permission.
The property is set back behind a stone wall and gated entrance with a wide driveway providing parking space leading up to the large garage/workshop. The beautifully cultivated rear garden boasts mature shrubs, secluded seating areas, greenhouse facilities, and ample lawned spaces.
Situated close to Colyton's vibrant community amenities including shops, schools, and transport links as well as being only a short drive from Seaton's scenic Jurassic Coastline, this home presents not just immediate comfort but an exciting canvas for modernisation. Potential renovations could include transforming the kitchen into an open-plan layout connected to the garden room or converting attic spaces into more bedrooms or living areas—all ideas that would harmonise contemporary lifestyle needs with the period elegance of this charming home.
