Immaculately presented 3-bedroom split-level home, quietly positioned in a tucked-away cul-de-sac in the heart of Axmouth, offering stylishly updated accommodation, superb gardens with lovely far-reaching estuary views, integral double garage and parking.

3 Glenwater Close is an immaculately presented and thoughtfully improved three-bedroom split-level home, occupying a tucked-away position within a quiet cul-de-sac close to the heart of the highly sought-after village of Axmouth.

The property has been in the ownership of the current vendors for approximately six years, during which time it has been comprehensively updated, improved and reconfigured to create a well-balanced and modern living environment. Notable works include the relocation and installation of a contemporary kitchen to the rear of the property, allowing for direct access to the garden and significantly enhancing the overall layout. Further improvements include the addition of engineered light oak parquet style flooring, which flows through the dining area, living room, kitchen and bedroom three, the installation of a wood-burning stove within the living room, and enhancements to the principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a newly installed en suite shower. The property has also benefited from redecoration throughout and the installation of 16 solar panels with battery storage, providing increased energy efficiency.

The accommodation is arranged over split levels, offering a sense of space and versatility, with well-proportioned rooms and a high standard of presentation throughout.

Axmouth is a charming and historic village situated alongside the Axe Estuary, approximately one mile from the Jurassic Coast. The village enjoys a picturesque setting and offers access to scenic riverside and coastal walks, including the Seaton Wetlands Nature Reserve, Axe Cliff Golf Club and the harbour, all leading through to Seaton seafront and beach.

Accessed via a front door with glazed insert and matching side panels, the property opens into a welcoming entrance hall with wood effect flooring and stairs rising to the main accommodation. A door to one side leads to a useful utility room, fitted with a range of base and wall units with work surface and inset sink, together with space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. There is also a deep cloaks/storage cupboard.

Stairs with wooden handrails and attractive glazed balustrading rise to the principal living level, where the accommodation is arranged. The first space encountered is a well proportioned open-plan dining area, offering ample room for a table and chairs, with access to an airing cupboard housing the central heating boiler. From here, twin glazed doors open into the living room, with a short set of steps leading down, continuing the architectural flow with matching balustrading. This is a particularly impressive space, a spacious and light, double aspect room with high ceilings, enjoying delightful views across the village and towards the surrounding countryside. A large wood-burning stove set on a granite hearth creates an attractive focal point.

A notable feature throughout this level is the engineered light oak parquet style flooring, which flows seamlessly through the living room, dining area and kitchen, adding warmth and continuity to the space.

The kitchen has been recently fitted and is finished to a high standard with a stylish range of light blue units, complemented by quartz work surfaces. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher, induction hob with extractor, oven with combination microwave above, along with a double under-mounted sink. A bespoke larder cupboard provides excellent additional storage, while a built-in banquette seating area with concealed storage offers an ideal informal dining space. The property offers three well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom is positioned to the rear, enjoying an outlook over the garden, and benefits from a large, fitted wardrobe with sliding doors together with a recently updated en suite shower room, fitted with a contemporary suite including a walk-in shower, WC and vanity wash basin. Bedroom two is a good-sized double room situated to the front, enjoying views across the village towards open fields and countryside beyond. Bedroom three is located to the rear and is currently used as a study, although it would comfortably accommodate a single or small double bed.

In addition, there is a family bathroom fitted with a modern white suite comprising bath with shower over, WC and wash basin with storage beneath. Both the bathroom and en suite are finished with contemporary tiling.

Outside:

The property is approached via a driveway providing off road parking for two vehicles, leading to the double integral garage. To one side, a lawned garden and pathway lead to the front entrance, where an overhanging porch creates a sheltered seating area. Steps to one side, together with an external water tap, provide access along the side of the property, where a pedestrian gate opens into a useful covered storage area. Pathways continue around to the rear, providing convenient access to the kitchen.

The rear garden is a particularly attractive feature of the property, arranged over a number of well-designed tiers. Immediately adjoining the house is a paved terrace, providing an ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining, complemented by raised, well-stocked flower beds. The garden rises through a series of levels, with pathways and steps on either side leading through an abundance of established planting, including flowering shrubs, borders and a productive vegetable area. A further tier is laid to lawn, from where delightful far-reaching views can be enjoyed across the valley towards open fields and the Axe Estuary, with countryside beyond.

Steps continue to an upper garden area, where a substantial summer house, complete with power and lighting, is positioned to take full advantage of the views. This area also incorporates gravelled and paved seating spaces, providing further opportunities for relaxation. To the uppermost section, there is a small stream with a wooden a bridge leading to a final area of garden arranged in a more natural, wildlife-friendly style, bordered by mature hedging.

Overall, the gardens are beautifully presented and thoughtfully arranged, offering a variety of spaces to enjoy throughout the day, and will particularly appeal to gardening enthusiasts.
