Compact character home with private low-maintenance garden and upgrade potential.
Chain-free freehold cottage close to Axminster town centre
A compact two-bedroom end-of-terrace cottage set on a quiet no-through road, a short walk from Axminster town centre. The home keeps period character with a stone facade and exposed beams, while offering comfortable modern touches such as double glazing and laminate flooring in the lounge. The enclosed rear garden with deck and shed provides private outdoor space without high maintenance.
Internally the layout is straightforward: lounge, kitchen, two bedrooms and a shower room. Gas hob and oven are fitted in the kitchen, while the shower room uses an electric shower. Heating is by room heaters with electric supply only, so buyers should budget for ongoing running costs and consider upgrading central heating in future.
Practical drawbacks are clear and factual: the house is small (about 364 sq ft), sits on a very small plot, and comes with no dedicated parking beyond on-street spaces. The building is of historic cob construction (pre-1900), which can require specialist maintenance. The property does come with the advantage of being freehold and chain-free, making it straightforward to buy and move into.
This cottage will suit first-time buyers or those downsizing who prioritise location and character over internal space. It also offers modest renovation potential for buyers willing to invest in heating and modernisation to increase comfort and long-term value.
