39 West Street

Axbridge, Somerset, BS26 2AA

DESCRIPTION

Set in a convenient spot on the ever popular and historic West Street

in Axbridge is Number 39, a highly deceptive 'move in and unpack'

terraced period cottage with wonderful views of the Mendip Hills. The

beauty of the property is the fact that although it dates back to the 18th century with the associated character, it offers everything

demanded by the discerning modern buyer. Indeed, it has a versatile

and spacious accommodation measuring over 1,500 sq ft set over two

floors; taking full advantage of the elevated hillside spot, the stunning

associated views, and those lovely gardens.

It briefly comprises; entrance hall, living room with wood burner, large

open plan kitchen/dining room with central island and space for a large dining table, utility/boot room, good sized study/possible

bedroom four, downstairs WC, three further double bedrooms

(including a master suite with en suite and balcony) and a family

bathroom. The property is warmed by gas central heating and double

glazing, has substantial cupboards and wardrobes, and a good sized

loft space for storage.

Unusually, there really are no downsides outside either. Being on the side of West Street it resides, it benefits from an attractive and well

proportioned garden which extends down to Starrs Close at the rear,

with patio, lawning and two stone built storage sheds. This means

that, crucially, number 39 not only has off street parking on a drive for

at least three vehicles, but also has its own sizeable double garage, a

rare commodity in this historic terrace of houses, and the real 'piece

de resistance' of this impressive package.

The position really is very favourable in this historic town, indeed 39

West Street offers fantastic panoramic far reaching views of the

Mendip Hills, and some wonderful countryside walks just around the

corner. It is also very well placed for the square which boasts a

number of other historic buildings, not least King John's Hunting

Lodge which dates from Tudor times and the 13th century Church of

St John the Baptist, a beautiful Grade I listed building. However,

coupled with its charm and character, it is a highly convenient location, boasting amenities, pubs and restaurants, very good local

schools, and transport routes for the commute.

This well appointed terraced period cottage has been very well

looked after and there is very little for any potential buyer to do other

than for personal taste. We would therefore recommend an early

viewing without delay to fully appreciate all that it offers.

SITUATION

Situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty on the east side of

the A38 and overlooked by Wavering Down and Crooks Peak is the

ever popular medieval town of Axbridge (www.axbridge-tc.gov.uk).

This Somerset town is packed with 'old world' charm and its Medieval

beginnings are still evident in some of its oldest buildings. An

important wool-producer in the Middle Ages, the town has always been at the centre of things, indeed it was a river port in earlier times.

This was reflected in its early royal charters allowing it to hold markets,

fairs and become a royal borough. It even had its own mint, with coins

showing the town's symbol: the Lamb and Flag. There is far less

through traffic nowadays, but the layout of the town has changed

little over the centuries, a medieval town expanding on a fortified

Saxon burgh. Axbridge is well served for local facilities include post

office, general stores, primary (www.axbridgefirstschool.co.uk) and middle (www.fairlands.somerset.sch.uk) schools (Fairlands being in

Cheddar) and a number of restaurants. Further facilities are available in

the nearby villages of Winscombe and Cheddar and as mentioned,

primary and nursery schools are available at Weare and Axbridge with

older children attending Kings of Wessex School

(www.kowessex.co.uk) or private/public schools at Sidcot, Wells

Cathedral School and Millfield. The town has good access to the City

of Bristol and the seaside town of Weston-super-Mare and there is access to the motorway network at Clevedon (junction 20), St.

Georges (junction 21) and Edithmead (junction 22). There is an

international airport at Lulsgate and access to a mainline railway

station at Yatton.

DIRECTIONS

Travelling into Axbridge from the bypass proceed into West Street

and the property can found a little way down on your right hand side. For access to the rear of the property and double garage at the top of

West Street take the first right into Houlgate Way and then turn first

left into Starrs Close. It can be found a little way down on your left

hand side.

Our vendor says ... We moved in in 2008 as it was close to where we worked and had huge potential. We absolutely love the living

space that has been created, the large kitchen with its patio doors

to the garden, the cosy sitting room (especially when the fire is lit)

and the sizeable bedrooms. It all contributes in our eyes to a really

impressive cottage and of course you are so convenient for

Axbridge Square and the beautiful surrounding countryside.

We have noticed ... The beauty of this gem of a period cottage is that it offers none of the downsides usually associated with a

property of this ilk. Indeed, there is parking, it has a double garage,

the gardens are impressive, it has a focal point kitchen, it has an en

suite and the bedrooms are sizeable. Coupled with this you have

absolutely stunning views of the Mendip Hills and easy access to

both the Square and its amenities, the beautiful surrounding countryside and the excellent transport links. This 'move in and

unpack' opportunity must be viewed.
