Steeped in history and full of charm, Adam Cottage is a delightful Grade II listed period home, believed to date back over 280 years, occupying a lovely position in the heart of the historic medieval market town of Axbridge.

Dating from before 1837, this attractive terraced cottage beautifully combines period character with practical modern living. Recently redecorated throughout, the property offers well-proportioned accommodation arranged over three floors, including three generous double bedrooms, a welcoming living room with a feature fireplace, a modern fitted kitchen and a spacious family bathroom.

Upon entering, you are greeted by a warm and inviting living room, where the beautiful fireplace provides an attractive focal point and perfectly complements the cottage’s traditional character. The modern kitchen offers an excellent range of fitted units and generous worktop space, making it both practical and sociable. A useful ground-floor cloakroom/WC completes the downstairs accommodation.

To the first floor, a particularly spacious landing provides an ideal area for a home office or study space, a feature that is increasingly sought after. There are also two well-proportioned double bedrooms and a good-sized family bathroom.

A further staircase leads to the impressive second-floor attic bedroom. This lovely room offers excellent space, charming exposed ceiling beams and attractive views across the rear of the property, creating a wonderfully characterful and private retreat.

One of the property’s real highlights is the generous, south-facing rear garden. Mature planting, established trees, flowers and shrubs create a lovely outdoor setting, offering plenty of space to relax, entertain and enjoy the sunshine. To the rear sits a delightful summer house, complete with electricity, which has previously been used by the current owner as a business premises since 2018. This versatile space could lend itself to a variety of uses, including a home office, studio, hobby room or simply somewhere to escape and unwind.

The property also benefits from a Worcester gas combination boiler, providing instant hot water and central heating, installed only a few years ago, fast fibre broadband currently supplied by Vodafone, and double glazing to the rear.
