Stone Allerton, Axbridge, BS26 2NN

Occupying an elevated position at the top of this welcoming Somerset village, The Grange is a distinctive and spacious four-bedroom family home, offering a rare combination of generous accommodation, far-reaching countryside views and an enviable village lifestyle.

Description - Built as a unique modern home, The Grange is an impressive property that sits comfortably within its village surroundings.

It is a home with presence and individuality, and its elevated position gives it an exceptional outlook.

Locally known simply as ‘The Grange’, it is an established and recognisable home within the community.

The accommodation is spacious and thoughtfully arranged, with four bedrooms and three bathrooms, making it ideally suited to modern family life.

At the heart of the property is a light-filled contemporary open-plan kitchen, living and dining space, designed as the principal hub of the home.

The kitchen features white cabinetry, a central island, integrated appliances, 2 Neff electric ovens, induction hob and extractor, together with space for an American-style fridge/freezer.

The generous dining area flows into a comfortable snug, while French doors open directly onto the garden.

A log burner adds warmth and character, creating an inviting space in which to relax and entertain.

A separate utility/laundry room provides practical additional space and also gives access to the garden.

There is a further reception room, currently used as a home office, which enjoys attractive views towards the front of the property.

A particularly impressive reception hall provides a striking first impression, with a substantial wooden staircase rising to the first floor.

A downstairs cloakroom with vanity unit and basin completes the ground-floor accommodation.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom benefits from a walk-in cupboard and en-suite bathroom, incorporating a bath, vanity unit and walk-in shower.

There is also a further double bedroom with French doors opening onto a balcony overlooking the rear garden, together with a stylish en-suite bathroom featuring both a bath and walk-in shower.

Two further double bedrooms provide excellent family or guest accommodation, with one benefiting from a large walk-in cupboard. The largest has a Jack & Jill bathroom accessed also from the landing.

Externally, the property has an attractive double-fronted appearance with a central entrance porch, while the integral double garage provides secure parking and useful storage.

The garage is fitted with a large automatic double door and houses the central heating boiler. The Grange offers more than simply generous family accommodation.

Its elevated position, wonderful views and proximity to open countryside combine with the warmth and community spirit of village life, whilst Bristol, Exeter and the wider South West remain readily accessible.

The views from The Grange are a particular feature, with the outlook from the house extending towards Crooks Peak, while a short walk into the rear field reveals expansive views across the Somerset countryside.

It is a home that lends itself equally well to relaxed family living, entertaining and enjoying the exceptional Somerset landscape on the doorstep.

Location - The location is particularly appealing, with excellent access to the region’s principal centres. Bristol is approximately 40 minutes away, while Exeter can be reached in under an hour.

Yet despite this connectivity, the setting feels wonderfully rural, surrounded by open countryside and the rolling landscapes of the Somerset Levels and Mendip Hills.

The village itself has a strong community spirit and a wonderfully sociable character.

Residents enjoy a range of activities and traditions, from cricket and skittles to Women’s Institute groups, with the much-loved annual Harvest Home providing a particular highlight in the village calendar.

The recently refurbished cricket pavilion provides a relaxed meeting place, while the award-winning cider barn and Wheatsheaf Valley Smokehouse offer excellent opportunities to enjoy the local food and drink scene.

For those who enjoy the outdoors, the surrounding countryside provides an abundance of walking routes, including paths across the moors and towards the historic Ashton Windmill.
