I have EN SUITE loved living here. The neighbours and community are lovely, Axbridge is a great place Floor Plan to live ad the house is very cosy, and the south facing garden is a joy! Also, the garden is enclosed and secure.

We have noticed ... 31 The High Street is as impressive as it is homely, it strikes the perfect balance of original period features, flexible accommodation and a magical rear garden. It is just a short walk down the road to the local amenities in the square whilst the meandering footpaths and cycle tracks that dot the Mendips are just a stone's throw away. A truly wondrous and evocative home.
