Stone Allerton, Axbridge, Somerset, BS26

An exceptionally charming, Georgian-style five-bedroom residence, thoughtfully extended, boasting delightful gardens, a garage and a workshop, all nestled in the heart of Stone Allerton.

Description

Tastefully decorated in an elegant neutral palette with oak and glass accents, Osborne House is an exceptional example of how period character can seamlessly blend with contemporary style. The property offers well-proportioned reception rooms at the front, featuring sash windows, and a stunning oak and glass garden room at the rear, complete with French doors leading to the garden. These spaces combine to create very comfortable family home with a lovely warm and welcoming ambiance.

The original reception rooms and part of the hallway have been carefully opened up to create a spacious sitting room with a feature fireplace. A second reception room, currently used as an office, is also at the front of the house. A Victorian kitchen extension at the rear has been expanded to include an open-plan living space, featuring a cozy 'snug' area with a fireplace and log-burning stove, a dining area, and a modern kitchen. The contemporary kitchen is equipped with a range-style cooker with induction hob, integrated fridge and dishwasher, offering plenty of storage. Adjacent to the kitchen is a utility room with additional appliance space and plumbing.

The kitchen opens to the impressive vaulted oak and glass garden room, added in 2018. This beautiful space is flooded with natural light thanks to the lantern roof and French doors opening on two sides to the garden. Perfect for both relaxation and entertaining, this room is a standout feature.

Upstairs, the five double bedrooms each offer their own unique charm. The principal bedroom suite is an extension over the garage, featuring vaulted exposed beams and spanning the full width of the property. It includes a large en suite bathroom, a bank of fitted wardrobes, and a separate dressing room with ample storage. The two front facing double bedrooms retain the Georgian character of the home, with sash windows and spacious proportions. They share a family bathroom with two additional smaller double bedrooms.

A staircase leads to the loft room, which, though divided by roof trusses, serves as a hobby room with built-in storage, work surfaces, and a desk space, benefiting from natural light through low-level Velux windows.

The property is approached through two separate driveways. One leads to the garage and entrance porch, while the other provides access to the rear garden and a versatile stone-built workshop. This outbuilding offers various potential uses, from a workshop to an artist's studio, home office, or therapy room, subject to relevant consents.

The private rear garden is laid mostly to lawn, with seating areas strategically placed to enjoy the sun. A hidden kitchen garden behind tall hedging features raised beds, a substantial greenhouse, and a shed, making it a perfect space for gardening enthusiasts.
