**Description
**Nestled in the heart of the ever-popular historic town of Axbridge, this spacious two-bedroom apartment is bathed in natural light and exudes a welcoming, homely atmosphere. Originally a magistrate’s court, the building was thoughtfully converted into 13 individual apartments in the 1980s and has since been well maintained and managed.
Flat No. 8 is generously proportioned and accessed via a communal hallway that leads to its private front door. Upon entry, you'll find a large understairs cupboard - perfect for storing household essentials. Stairs then rise to the main living level, where the rest of the accommodation unfolds.
At the heart of the home is a bright and open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space - ideal for both relaxing and entertaining. The kitchen comes well-equipped with quality appliances, including a hob, oven, washer-dryer, and dishwasher.
Both double bedrooms are well-sized, featuring large sash windows and TV aerial points. The principal bedroom also benefits from an en-suite shower room and built-in storage, while a contemporary main bathroom is accessed from the hallway.
Externally, the property includes allocated parking, with additional visitor spaces available.
**Our Vendors say...
**We have truly loved living in this property and will miss it dearly. The property has great square footage, bringing with it the benefits of an abundance of space, as well as storage. The history of the property brings character and the large windows throughout the building bring light and luminescence through the day, this is particularly beautiful during sunrise and sunset and never gets old.
Axbridge is a wonderful area to live. The flat is close to the the centre of Axbridge, but does not sit on any main roads leading in and out of the village, making it a quiet place to be based. It is situated close to amenities including a primary school, village square, tea shop, co-op, a park, an antique shop and two pubs.
Every first Saturday of the month, there is a market which is well attended by locals. The square also hosts events such as a Christmas and summer fairs and the famous Axbridge pageant, which happens every 10 years.
**What we love about this property...
**We love how it perfectly combines history, space, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Set in a thoughtfully converted former magistrate’s court in the heart of Axbridge, the apartment benefits from generous, light-filled rooms, including a bright open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area that’s ideal for both relaxing and entertaining.

There is far less through traffic nowadays, but the layout of the town has changed little over the centuries, a medieval town expanding on a fortified Saxon burgh.
