Description

This charming two-bedroom detached period cottage offers a promising renovation opportunity, nestled in a spacious and established garden, complete with a garage and ample parking. Positioned conveniently near Axminster town and local schools, this property boasts a unique blend of character and potential. The cottage features classic stone construction with color-washed elevations and later extensions, providing a solid foundation for enhancement. While the gardens have been well-kept, there's room to further develop the outdoor space and add personal touches. Upon entering through the central porch, you are welcomed into a cozy reception area with a wood-burning stove that creates an inviting atmosphere. The tiled flooring extends throughout the ground floor, leading to a kitchen equipped with traditional wooden units and an electric Aga Companion; however, modernizing this kitchen could significantly increase its efficiency and appeal. Upstairs, two double bedrooms with fitted storage offer comfortable living spaces, complemented by a family bathroom featuring both a roll-top tub and a separate shower cubicle. Although the property is currently in good decorative order with extensive double glazing and gas central heating, some areas would benefit from updates to meet contemporary standards. The exterior includes a tarmac driveway leading to the garage built of concrete panels. The front garden showcases mature shrubs and an apple tree, while the rear offers additional outdoor potential with its hard standing area and seating space along with a greenhouse. Despite its current privacy afforded by established foliage, creative landscaping could enhance this aspect further. Key considerations for renovation include upgrading the private drainage system to compliance standards. This presents an excellent opportunity for investment as you can tailor improvements according to your preferences while maintaining the property's inherent charm.
