Quirky, Spacious Old Angel House, Nr Cheddar/Bristol/Bath | House in Axbridge
5 Bedroom House in Axbridge
Quirky & spacious, the 'Old Angel' in lovely Axbridge enjoys pride of place in a Medieval Square. And offers a best-of-both-worlds location too! Near renowned Cheddar Gorge in the Mendip Hills - an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty - with stunning Somerset countryside on the doorstep it's also in easy reach of three great UK cities: Bristol, Bath & little Wells.
With wood-burners, arty charm and a large rambling 'secret' garden, it's a home-from-home house, loved by guests for relaxing friend & family get-together's. Airport, coast, culture & heritage sites all nearby.
A Listed house which combines a sense of history with contemporary comfort, the Old Angel is artisan and eclectic in style - flagstone & wood floors, old fireplace or two, scattering of beams, up-cycled furniture, vintage & arty decor.
With a Mediterranean style courtyard for al fresco dining/BBQ area, there's plenty of outdoor space to relax in. And hidden away from the house, with steps leading up, there's a large & secluded 'secret garden' with several terraces. (En route, you'll go past the Little Angel, a small annexe at the rear of house. Very occasionally a working wildlife photographer friend may stay there. It has its own separate entrance & won't impact on your privacy.) The entire rambling garden & courtyard is exclusively yours to enjoy. Please note: not suitable for unsupervised youngsters.
Spread over three storeys - with 5 bedrooms on each of the first and top floors and an upstairs lounge - the flexible accommodation happily suits either small or larger numbers of guests.

Eating out is also an easy option. Axbridge itself has two good food-serving pubs and charming tearoom. There's a huge variety of restaurants, cafe's and eateries throughout the area: from great fish & chips to Michelin rated inns.
