North Street, Axminster, Devon

A charming cottage in need of some TLC, tucked away in Old North Street, right on the edge of Axminster town centre, offering the perfect balance of convenience and privacy. Ideally positioned within easy walking distance of the shops, cafés and public transport, the property enjoys a surprisingly peaceful setting despite its central location.

Originally arranged as a two-bedroom home, the cottage is currently configured with one generous double bedroom. Reinstating the original layout would be straightforward, requiring only the installation of a stud wall, with both bedrooms already benefiting from their own doorway and window.

The ground floor offers a spacious and welcoming sitting room centred around a gas fired wood-burning style stove, creating a cosy focal point. A few shallow steps lead down to the kitchen at the rear of the property. Beyond the kitchen is a practical shower/wet room.

A door from the kitchen opens onto the enclosed rear garden, providing a pleasant seating area together with a summer house/garden studio, ideal as a home office, hobby room or additional outdoor living space.

Planning permission has been granted (application no. 23/1251/FUL) for a single-storey rear extension with a raised decked terrace, together with the removal of the existing studio to create off-road parking, offering exciting potential for future enhancement.

While the property would benefit from some general updating and maintenance, it already enjoys the advantages of double glazing and gas-fired central heating and is offered for sale with no onward chain.
