West Close, Axminster

A sizeable three-bedroom chalet bungalow set within the town, in an elevated position with fine views, flexible accommodation and no onward chain.

The Property - Built of brick with decorative use of reconstituted stone under a tiled roof, 14 West Close occupies an enviable elevated position at the head of this popular cul-de-sac. Of note are the glorious views over Axminster and the surrounding countryside which can be enjoyed from the gardens and the main reception rooms. The property enjoys spacious accommodation and a good of deal of flexibility to both the ground and first floors. Despite requiring some general updating in places, the bungalow benefits from a modern kitchen, stylish shower room, as well as replacement double-glazed windows and external doors. There is a gas-fired central heating system and a pleasant double glazed conservatory which provides an attractive viewing area for the gardens and views beyond.

Accommodation - The spacious ground-floor accommodation is located off a central entrance hallway. The sitting room and dining room are located to the rear of the property, with plenty of light and lovely views. These rooms could be knocked into a more spacious living area. The kitchen provides an excellent range of cream wall and base units, an integrated oven and space for white goods. From the kitchen is a door leading into a light-filled corridor, providing access to the utility room and garage, with glazed doors to the driveway and rear garden. The utility room has a stainless steel sink unit, work surface, cupboards and drawers, with a doorway leading into the garage. There are two spacious ground-floor double bedrooms, both with a dual aspect. The shower room has been refitted with a double-width shower cubicle, with extensive tiling. The dining room leads into a double-glazed conservatory. On the first floor is a further double bedroom and large bathroom with three-piece suite and shower over the bath. There is generous storage space in the walk-in loft space, which itself could be converted into living space.

Outside - 14 West Close has beautifully landscaped and well-maintained gardens with far-reaching views. To the front of the property is space for one to two vehicles, with potential for much more parking, as the front garden currently has a large area of raised flower beds, as well as shrubs, roses and lawn. Side gates at both ends of the bungalow give access to the rear garden, which has well-stocked herbaceous borders, raised beds, and a paved terrace. A door gives access to an undercroft providing useful storage area.

Situation - The property is in an elevated position, commanding extensive views, and yet is in the heart of Axminster, only a few minutes’ walk to a range of shops, to the Minster, and to Axminster’s train station, on the London Waterloo to Exeter line. Axminster is a bustling market town, with a range of independent and national retailers, including a Tesco supermarket, and it has dentists, opticians, GP surgery, leisure centre, swimming pool, gym, restaurants and a well-supported country produce market held weekly in Trinity Square. The beautiful Axe Valley with its renowned bird sanctuary reaches the sea at Seaton (6 miles) and the famed beaches of the World Heritage Jurassic Coast and the resort of Lyme Regis are at a similar distance. Exeter is 24 miles, and Taunton 22 miles.
