DESCRIPTION

This attractive, contemporary-styled three bedroom semi-detached house is situated at the end of a small close on the Cloakham Lawns development on the eastern side of the historic market town of Axminster. The development is built on a hill overlooking the River Axe, with beautiful views. It is also within walking distance of good local schools, a hospital and the town centre itself, which has a selection of independent local shops, larger supermarkets, pubs, and health, dental, leisure and entertainment facilities, making it an ideal choice if you're looking for a quality and economical modern home in a traditional Devon community, with access to local country walks but also close to the sea and beautiful coastline.

The front of the property is laid to lawn, and the kitchen and master bedroom have far reaching views across the valley, which frame the beautiful protected oak tree standing in the centre of the close. A short path leads to the front door with porch, opening into the entrance hall, cloakroom, stairs rising to first floor landing and doorway opening into the spacious open plan living, dining and kitchen areas. French doors open out onto a south facing patio area and enclosed rear garden which has been tastefully landscaped to enable easy maintenance, with space for pots and planters, as well as provide a lovely private area for outdoor seating/dining. The garden also has a shed and can be accessed via a gate at the side of the property. 

Wooden flooring and vinyl tiles are laid throughout the downstairs (with carpet and tiles upstairs) and the kitchen is fitted with a number of integrated appliances comprising hob and hood, oven, fridge, freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. Access to the first floor is via the stairs off the entrance hall. Off the landing are 3 bedrooms (2 doubles and a single) together with a family bathroom with bath and shower. The master bedroom has a built in wardrobe and ensuite bathroom with large shower unit, toilet and sink. Both bathrooms are finished to a high specification, with fully tiled floors and wash areas.
