Description

A unique two bedroom detached house, close to town with parking for two cars and enclosed courtyard garden.

The Property - Kingfisher Cottage is an impressive detached two storey residence set along a no through road and conveniently placed for Axminster town. Rarely does a property of this nature become available within the old town, let alone one with parking. The property has an interesting history and was once the offices for South Western Gas Board before being sold in the mid 1990’s. The cottage now offers spacious residential accommodation which has been the subject to a major renovation within the past 15 years, including replacing the former flat roof with a traditional pitched one.

Accommodation - To the front of the cottage is the dual aspect sitting room with stairs leading to the first floor accommodation and gas fire. To the rear is a spacious kitchen/dining room. Fitted with a wide range of matching wall and base units, a selection of integrated appliances, space for a dining table and access out to the garden. There is a useful lean to providing additional covered storage. To the first floor are two double bedrooms and a smart bathroom incorporating a white suite with shower over the bath and extensive tiling.

Outside - From the lane side is a gravelled private parking area suitable for two cars and gated access to an enclosed garden with artificial lawn.

Situation - Situated in a most convenient position and within walking distance of the centre of Axminster, the property is set alongside a no through road which leads on to a pedestrian walkway to Tesco. Axminster is a bustling market town on the eastern fringes of Devon, close to the border with West Dorset and South Somerset. 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 (M5) is 24 miles, and Taunton 20 miles. Axminster itself offers a selection of independent shops, supermarket, schooling and train station that is on the direct line to London Waterloo and Exeter. Every Thursday a well supported local produce market is held in Trinity Square.
