Upper Green Croft is a substantial Edwardian detached house offering generous proportions, high ceilings and period detail in a sought-after Colyton location. The house currently provides three double bedrooms, two bathrooms, two formal reception rooms and an expansive garden room that opens onto mature, southerly-facing walled gardens. A large double garage/workshop and wide driveway deliver plentiful parking and practical storage.
The property is liveable now but clearly needs modernisation to realise its full potential. Two large interconnected attic rooms offer scope for conversion (STPP) to create additional bedrooms or flexible living space. The ground floor layout lends itself to reconfiguration — for example combining kitchen, garden room and garage into a contemporary open-plan family hub, subject to planning.
Set within walking distance of Colyton’s shops, cafés and the highly rated Colyton Grammar School, this home suits families who value school access and a semi-rural lifestyle. The Jurassic Coast at Seaton is only 2 miles away, with Lyme Regis, Sidmouth and rail links at Axminster within easy reach, so the house balances village convenience with coastal leisure.
Buyers should note practical considerations: the house requires renovation and updating throughout, and council tax is described as expensive. There is no reported flooding risk and the area is affluent with very low crime, but any major changes such as attic conversion will require planning consent.
