4 bed detached house for sale

Church Lane, Badgworth, Axbridge, Somerset BS26

A home designed around flexibility

One of the property's strongest attributes is the sheer variety of accommodation available.

The ground floor combines several distinct living spaces rather than relying upon a single open-plan room. The separate sitting room and substantial family room allow different areas of the home to serve different purposes, while the dedicated dining room provides a natural setting for entertaining.

Upstairs, four bedrooms provide ample flexibility for modern family life. The dimensions of the second and third bedrooms in particular provide scope beyond straightforward bedroom use, potentially accommodating study or leisure areas where required.

The additional garage and separate studio/outbuilding further extend the property's practical footprint.
