" A wonderful Georgian House situated right on the edge of the town centre within an easy walk of cafes, the market, shops, the train station and St. Mary s Church which stakes centre stage in the town. The house is believed to have origins dating back to 1740 and is Grade II Listed along with it s neighbour. The house is surprisingly large offering elegant, substantial four bedroom accommodation but the greatest surprise is the delightful garden. Much larger than you would expect, the garden is secluded and sheltered. It has been thoughtfully landscaped providing an abundance of colour amongst planting beds interspersed throughout the paving, which is highlighted with subtle rainbow colours, that lead the way to the garden studio at the far end. The studio is insulated with power and light and is connected to the internet, making a great space for working remotely or as it is currently used for an artist s studio. Planning permission has been granted for a single storey extension at the back of the house to create a dining family room. Further information can be found under Planning Application 22 1474 FUL

Inside the house, the ceilings are high which gives a great feeling of space and the property is light and bright throughout. The accommodation is set over three storeys; two bedrooms and a shower room on the top floor, another two bedrooms and bathroom on the middle floor and at ground level, a large open plan kitchen dining living space, a w.c. and hallway leading from the front to back. The house is not only charming but is presented in very good order throughout, the current owners having carried out a large programme of repair improvements during their ownership. All the windows have been replaced with bespoke Heritage sash windows, a new boiler installed and some roof work carried out as well as general repair and redecoration both inside and out.

Axminster is an old market town made famous by the Axminster carpet company and is situated on the River Axe in East Devon.
