Summary
Fox & Sons are delighted to bring to the market this characterful and unique three-bedroom period semi-detached home, ideally positioned within easy reach of the historic market town of Axminster.

Description
Set behind its charming facade, this remarkable home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of local heritage. Thought to incorporate remnants once connected to Newenham Abbey, dating back to its dissolution under Henry VIII in 1539, the property has been thoughtfully adapted over the centuries into a truly individual residence, believed in part to date from the mid-17th century.

Inside, the home is brimming with character and period detail. Exposed beams, stonework, and striking arched stained glass windows create a warm and atmospheric feel, giving each room its own sense of identity and charm.
There are large windows throughout, with some enhanced by decorative shutters, and high ceilings enhancing the spacious feel.

The ground floor offers an appealing and flexible layout, including two reception rooms, a conservatory, kitchen and wet room, providing versatile spaces for both everyday living and entertaining. Upstairs, three bedrooms are complemented by a family bathroom.

Further enhancing the property’s practicality, there is a cellar with power and lighting, along with a substantial loft space offering additional storage potential.

Outside, the property enjoys a pretty and well-established garden. And a private gated driveway.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a unique and characterful home with considerable appeal, combining historic charm with comfortable living and timeless character.
