Weston Lane, Christon, Axbridge, BS26

This charming four-bedroom detached period cottage, believed to date back to the early 19th century, has an annexe, and is set within a picturesque third-of-an-acre plot. Boasting stunning gardens, ample private off-road parking, and a detached double garage, the property enjoys a tranquil setting bordering open countryside, offering a true rural retreat. Thoughtfully extended and renovated over time, the home seamlessly blends period character with contemporary styling, creating a warm and inviting family residence.

Stepping into the spacious entrance hall, you are greeted by access to the property's main reception spaces. The generously sized, dual-aspect living room features a beamed ceiling and a cozy wood-burning stove, adding to its character. From here, a door leads to a useful utility area and a convenient cloakroom. To the left of the hallway, the open-plan kitchen/family room showcases the home’s period charm with an exposed brick Inglenook fireplace housing a multi-fuel burner. Slate flooring and beamed ceilings continue throughout, flowing into the beautifully designed orangery-style kitchen/diner. The kitchen is well-appointed with a range of wall and base-mounted units topped with granite work surfaces, a sunken sink with a single drainer, an integrated dishwasher and fridge freezer, and space for a Range-style cooker with an extractor fan. The dining area benefits from double patio doors that open directly onto the rear garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces.

A dual-aspect study provides a quiet workspace and leads to a spacious store area, currently used for storage, with direct access to the garden.

The first floor accommodates four well-proportioned bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom is a spacious front-aspect room featuring its own en-suite, which includes a roll-top bathtub, pedestal sink, low-level WC, and a separate shower cubicle. The second and third bedrooms, also front-facing, offer ample space for double beds, while the fourth bedroom, located at the rear, is equally well-sized. Completing the first floor is the family bathroom, which includes a shower cubicle, pedestal sink, and low-level WC.

This home benefits from high-tariff solar panels that significantly reduce electricity costs while also helping to warm the hot water. An Everhot electric eco-storage oven, designed to run on solar power, further enhances the home’s energy efficiency. To ensure long-term durability, the property has been tanked to prevent damp issues. Additionally, ultra-fast Wi-Fi speeds of up to 900 Mbps are available, and the driveway is equipped with a 7.5 kW electric vehicle charger.
