Hawkchurch, Axminster, Devon

A charming semi detached period house centrally situated in this pretty village, opposite the beautiful St. John The Baptist Church. Offering substantial accommodation with four bedrooms set out over three floors and a garden annexe, the house has been well maintained throughout the current ownership of more than 20 years. On entering, there is a good sized hallway with w.c., a spacious living room, leading to the kitchen/dining room, which opens to the garden. On the first floor are three double bedrooms and a family bathroom. A thoughtful loft conversion has created a large bedroom on the top floor with beautiful far reaching views. The walled rear garden faces south westerly with a gate to the side of the property leading to a parking area, sufficient for 2 cars. A separate stone building in the garden provides a fantastic annexe with a large ground floor, fitted with a wood burning stove and stairs leading to a spacious first floor, where a large balcony looks out onto the community field and far reaching views beyond.

The annexe would make an excellent space to work from home, use as a home gym or art studio (or a mixture of all these things).

The property being Grade II Listed, has single glazed windows and benefits from oil fired central heating throughout. The house has been let in recent years and offers no onward chain.
