Two good-sized double bedrooms plus loft conversion used as third bedroom
Tucked a few minutes’ walk from Axbridge’s historic square, Walnut Cottage is a characterful period terrace that will appeal to families or buyers seeking space and village life. The house provides two good-sized double bedrooms plus a loft conversion currently used as a bedroom, a large open-plan living/dining room and a single family bathroom — comfortable, versatile accommodation across multiple floors.
The real highlight is the surprisingly generous rear garden: mainly lawn with mature shrubs, a summerhouse and a patio, plus rear access via a private road. There is realistic potential to create off-street parking from the rear (subject to the necessary consents), a useful benefit in this small town setting.
The cottage retains period features and rustic charm but is of solid brick construction (pre-1900) with double glazing fitted before 2002. The EPC is D and the walls are assumed uninsulated, so there is scope — and likely cost — to improve energy efficiency and modernise services. The roof, heating (mains gas boiler and radiators) and glazing are in place, but buyers should budget for updating and cosmetic refurbishment to bring the home fully up to contemporary standards.
Situated in an affluent, low-crime town with good schools, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, Walnut Cottage offers a rare mix of village convenience and countryside access. It’s best suited to families, downsizers who value character, or buyers seeking a period property with potential to add value through thoughtful updating. Tenure is unknown; enquiries about tenure and any alteration consents are recommended before offer.
