Description

A highly impressive detached 1950’s individual residence with stunning gardens, twin garages and far reaching southerly views.

The Property - East Gate is an iconic house within Axminster and is welcomed to the open market for the first time in over 30 years. The house was constructed by Mouldings Builders during the early part of the 1950’s and has been well designed with all principal reception rooms looking out over the south facing main garden, across the town to the countryside beyond. The main house sits in beautifully tended gardens which have given our clients years of enjoyment and have been expertly designed to make the most of the spacious plot and outlook. Rarely does a property of this stature come to market in the town, and offer such a good blend of accommodation, parking and space around you.

There is a useful cloakroom and storage cupboard. Both the sitting room and formal dining room overlook the garden and have doors opening onto a south facing patio. The sitting room enjoys a light and airy triple aspect and fireplace housing a modern gas fire. There is a nicely appointed kitchen fitted with a wide range of solid wood fronted wall and base units, space for appliances and space for a breakfast table. The adjoining utility room provides additional space for white goods and butler sink. The addition of a rear lobby provides an excellent space for boots and coats when coming in from the garden. To the first floor are four well-proportioned bedrooms which all features built in or fitted wardrobes/storage. There is a family bathroom with coloured suite and a separate shower room with WC. Extensive gas fired central heating and all but one of the properties windows are double glazed.

Outside - The property is approached from Lyme Road via double gates which lead to a substantial turning and parking area for numerous vehicles or even a boat or motorhome. There are two garages, one being a classic single garage with up and over door, whilst the other is much larger and features a workshop space. The front elevation is enclosed with stone walling and hedging. which provides a great deal of privacy from Lyme Road. The main gardens are a sheer delight and have been beautifully landscaped and maintained with established shrubs, seasonal flowers and raised beds. Besides the driveway is an orchard which continues alongside the garaging to a large vegetable garden with greenhouse and gardens shed. To the rear of the main house are lawned gardens which sweep around the southern and western elevations of the main house. In total the gardens and grounds measure 0.43 of an acre.
