Holyford Cottage is a beautifully sited two-bedroom detached cottage set within very large, landscaped gardens of over a third of an acre. The house offers classic character — a dual-aspect sitting room with a wood-burning stove, a bright conservatory with panoramic garden views, and a well-proportioned kitchen plus utility and downstairs WC. Two double bedrooms upstairs include an en suite to one bedroom and built-in wardrobes.
The plot and setting are standout features: sweeping driveway, detached garage with power, generous parking and mature borders that give privacy and a rural feel, all just under a mile from Colyford and close to Colyton and the Jurassic Coast. There is planning consent on file (02/P0994) for a two-storey extension; the utility room has already been completed, offering scope to increase living space subject to reapplying if needed.
Important practical points: heating is by electric storage heaters downstairs with new electric heaters fitted upstairs; mains water and private drainage (septic tank) are installed. The EPC rating is E. The property is in a high flooding-risk area — this materially affects insurance and may require flood resilience measures. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average; the area is otherwise very low crime and very affluent.
This cottage will suit buyers seeking a peaceful, characterful rural home with substantial gardens — ideal for downsizers, retired couples or those wanting a rural weekend retreat. It also offers potential to improve energy performance and to extend, but plan and budget for flood mitigation, possible septic maintenance, and heater upgrades.
