Chard Road, Axminster

This detached home offers versatile living spaces, front and rear gardens, and ample parking. Located on the outskirts of Axminster.
While the property holds excellent potential for transformation into a dream home, it now requires some refurbishment, offering a unique opportunity for buyers to personalise and modernise the generous family space.

Situation - The market town of Axminster benefits from a wide range of facilities including schooling, shopping and recreational facilities and mainline station on the London (Waterloo) line. The area benefits from some outstanding schooling, with nearby Colyton Grammar School, one of England's top state schools and the Axe Valley Community College is within walking distance to the property.

The south coast at Lyme Regis, famous for its Cobb and Bay is some 5.5 miles away, positioned along the Jurassic Coast. The property is close to three Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONBs) the Blackdown Hills to the north, East Devon to the south and Dorset to the east, where there are a number of foot and bridle paths giving access to the variety of the surrounding rolling countryside.

Description - Blueberry Cottage is a remarkable detached family residence offering both generous space and versatile living arrangements. Thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of a modern family, the property features four bedrooms and a variety of adaptable reception rooms.

Upon entering the home, a spacious hallway greets visitors, immediately setting a warm and welcoming tone. The layout flows seamlessly, offering a perfect balance between practicality and comfort. The triple-aspect sitting room serves as the heart of the home, centred around a striking stone open fireplace that creates a focal point. Large patio doors open directly to the gardens, offering an ideal space for socialising and blending indoor and outdoor living.

The dining room, located adjacent to the sitting room, provides additional reception space and also includes patio doors leading to the gardens. This room is perfectly suited for hosting gatherings or enjoying family meals while taking in views of the outdoor space.

The generous kitchen is designed with family life in mind, offering ample workspace and functionality. A step down leads to a charming breakfast room, ideal for casual dining or morning coffee. The kitchen is complemented by a walk-in pantry for additional storage, a utility area to manage household tasks, and a convenient downstairs cloakroom.

For those seeking flexibility, a ground-floor study adds to the home’s adaptable layout. This room could easily serve as a fourth bedroom, guest suite, or home office, accommodating the evolving needs of a growing family.

Bedroom one is particularly impressive, featuring a triple-aspect design that floods the space with natural light. Fitted wardrobes enhance its practicality.
