Description
One careful owner.
 
This very smart house has benefitted from an exceptional custodian. Everything that has needed to be done has been done and it looks as good today, if not better, than it did when she moved in 30 years ago.
 
It has had new windows and doors, a new kitchen, a new ensuite, new garage doors, and no expense spared love and attention.
 
If you’re looking for an easy to maintain, immaculate home that has well established gardens, this property will tick all your boxes.
 
Accommodation
The front door opens to a bright and fresh hallway. To the right is a spacious cloakroom, and to the left is the sunny sitting room, which has a large window to the west and glazed internal doors to the kitchen/diner. A bioethanol fire is an attractive feature which offers additional warmth, should you need it, in the winter months.
 
The kitchen/dining/living room spans the width of the property at the back. It has French doors out to the garden.  This is a versatile space that can be configured as you wish. The kitchen has black granite work surfaces which contrast with sleek white units. There is plenty of storage, an integrated dishwasher, hob, double ovens at eye level and there is space for a washing machine, tumble dryer and fridge/freezer in the utility area.

About the Area
Axbridge is a small town in Somerset, situated in the Sedgemoor district on the River Axe, near the southern edge of the Mendip Hills. Its population is just over 2,000 people.
It's an historic town dating back to the Romans and King Alfred and was one of his burgs (fortified townsteads) against the Danes. Half-timbered buildings lean towards each other across a narrow street leading to the medieval square and King John’s Hunting Lodge. Its prosperous past is reflected in the quality of the buildings in Axbridge, particularly the fine 13th century St John’s Church which is the oldest to survive, dating back to 1245.
It's well placed for the other towns of the region and in easy reach of Bristol. It benefits from a bypass, which keeps all through traffic well away.
There are excellent state and independent schools in the area including Sidcot, Kings of Wessex, Strode College, Wells Blue, Wells Cathedral and Millfield.
