In the very centre of Axminster, this handsome Grade II listed period townhouse offers a rare opportunity to own a substantial, character-rich home with parking, perfectly arranged with space for all the family.
An enclosed entrance PORCH, laid with original character tiles and inset matting, leads through double doors into a welcoming HALLWAY. Picture rails and period detailing immediately set the tone, while a useful storage cupboard and rear access door add everyday practicality, ideal for coats, boots and school bags.
To the rear of the hallway sits a particularly useful SHOWER ROOM, thoughtfully arranged with W.C, shower cubicle, wash hand basin and chrome heated towel rail. Tiled flooring ensures durability, and there is space for both washing machine and tumble dryer, alongside the boiler, creating a highly functional utility area for family living.
The SITTING ROOM, positioned to the front, is warm and inviting. A log burner forms the focal point, complemented by a secondary glazed window and built-in storage. Opposite, a charming READING ROOM offers a quieter retreat, complete with a beautiful open fireplace, wooden shutters and fitted cupboards, an ideal snug, playroom or study.
To the rear, the KITCHEN / DINING ROOM provides the true heart of the home. Centred around an impressive inglenook fireplace with inset log burner, this is a space designed for gathering. Granite worktops, a dual Belfast sink, pantry storage and space for a range cooker, dishwasher and fridge freezer combine character with practicality. Three side aspect windows and downlighters ensure the room feels light and welcoming, while tiled flooring adds durability for family life. A door leads directly to the garden through the adjoining triple aspect sunroom.
The main LANDING, illuminated by a rear skylight and featuring traditional wooden balusters, leads to four generous double bedrooms, a rarity for a town-centre period home.
The PRINCIPAL BEDROOM overlooks the rear garden and benefits from exposed wooden flooring and a ceiling fan. Its EN SUITE bathroom is well-appointed, comprising a separate bath, shower cubicle, W.C and wash hand basin, with side-facing windows providing natural light.
BEDROOM TWO, positioned to the front, includes a built-in double wardrobe, while BEDROOMS THREE and FOUR are also comfortable doubles, ideal for children of all ages, guests or home working.
A separate W.C. with character arch detail sits off the landing, alongside a well-proportioned FAMILY BATHROOM featuring a corner shower, separate bath, W.C, wash hand basin and skylight.
Stairs rise to a versatile LOFT ROOM with rear-facing skylight and useful attic storage, an adaptable space suited to hobbies, teenage den, or occasional guest accommodation.
A secondary staircase descending to the kitchen area reflects the home’s historic origins and adds further character to its layout.
The rear garden is both family-friendly and surprisingly generous for a central town home. A gravel seating terrace provides the perfect setting for outdoor dining and summer gatherings, benefiting from outside lighting and a sunny, sheltered aspect.
Beyond, potting borders and established beds are complemented by mature quince, plum and fig trees which offer both beauty and seasonal produce. A lawned area provides space for children to play, while a wooden shed supports practical storage.
Of particular note is the extensive parking which is rare and valuable feature in such a central position. Hard standing provides space for several vehicles, with double gates opening to additional parking for three further cars. A substantial stone-built carport with pitched roof completes the offering.
Axminster is centred around the Church of St Mary's and has a comprehensive range of shops and facilities including many independent retailers and boutiques. There are also the usual staples which include supermarkets, pharmacy, sports and leisure facilities.
Axminster benefits from a main line rail link to London Waterloo (a direct line service which takes about 2.45 hours) and has good road links via the A35. The World Heritage Jurassic Coast at Lyme Regis lies about 5 miles away with its famous Cobb harbour and a very good range of independent shops and amenities. The property has some excellent schools close at hand which include Colyton Grammar School, one of the country’s top mixed state schools, about 5 miles away.
