Description

This expansive detached period home features five generously sized bedrooms and four reception areas, set on a substantial plot of nearly half an acre. The property presents a significant opportunity for renovation, making it an appealing prospect for those looking to invest in a home with character and potential. Additionally, the sale comes with no onward chain, simplifying the buying process. Situated in the market town of Axminster, this location offers a variety of amenities including shops, schools, and recreational facilities. The area is served by a mainline train station with direct services to London Waterloo, enhancing its appeal for commuters. Families will appreciate the proximity to high-quality educational institutions such as Colyton Grammar School, recognized as one of England's leading state schools, along with Axe Valley Community College which is conveniently within walking distance. The interior of Brookhill showcases a wealth of original features and charm but is in need of substantial refurbishment to restore it to its former glory. Upon entering, you are welcomed by a grand hallway that leads to four spacious reception rooms and an ample kitchen/diner designed for versatile family living and entertaining. Upstairs, five well-proportioned bedrooms await, including a principal suite complete with fitted wardrobes and an ensuite bathroom. A family bathroom equipped with both a bath and shower serves the remaining bedrooms. Outside, the property boasts extensive grounds featuring ample driveway parking at the front as well as a generous lawn space at the rear. A detached garage accompanied by an adjoining storeroom offers valuable storage solutions. At the back of the garden lies a 30ft games room that provides versatile potential for leisure activities or entertaining guests, complemented by direct access to the patio area. Additional outbuildings scattered throughout the gardens enhance storage options further. The home benefits from mains water, electricity, and drainage alongside oil-fired central heating; there is also access to mains gas on-site. Connectivity is supported by various broadband options including standard to ultrafast services while major mobile networks are available in the vicinity. In summary, Brookhill not only represents an opportunity for transformation into a stunning residence but also enjoys a prime location that supports both lifestyle and investment growth potential.
