Old Coach Road, Cross, Axbridge, Somerset, BS26

Location

The village of Cross is a small picturesque Somerset village which nestles at the foot of Wavering Down and Crook Peak, being a designated area of outstanding natural beauty. The village itself has two superb Public Houses and is close by to the charming Market Town of Axbridge. Whilst there is much evidence of rebuilding and re-facing of buildings in Axbridge in the 18th and 19th centuries, the heart of Axbridge has changed little and it retains a number of early listed buildings in the Square and lining the main streets. The Square still has the feel of a marketplace today. There are shops and places to eat and drink including: Post Office, The Lamb Inn, General Stores, Primary School, Doctors Surgery and Church. There are a range of leisure activities in the area including: Unrivalled horse riding and walking on the Mendip Hills, sailing and fishing on the Cheddar Reservoir and Chew Valley Lakes and Dry Slope Skiing in Churchill.

Gardens

Substantial gardens to the rear that are believed to be in the region of 0.75 of an acre. Mainly laid to lawn and largely elevated to enjoy the wonderful countryside views that surround the property, these grounds offer much to enjoy.

There is a private courtyard with steps to the main garden that adjoins the rear of the property. From here the garden really opens out, bordering the neighbouring field behind where you will regularly find sheep grazing. Within the garden you will find a summerhouse and large decked area perfect to entertain on, which interestingly was the site of an old perfume factory in World War II. The garden extends behind the neighbouring property into a largely private area, enclosed by mature trees to the borders.
