8 bed detached house for sale

Turnpike Road, Axbridge BS26

At its centre is a six bedroom house of just under 3,000 sq ft, currently split into two separate three bedroom homes, each with its own bathroom. The split works naturally, it feels practical rather than forced and gives clear potential for rental income. Equally, it could be brought back together as a single six bedroom home without losing the wider income that comes from the rest of the property.

Away from the main house is a self contained two bedroom dwelling (around 900 sq ft), again with its own bathroom. It’s positioned to feel independent, making it suitable for letting, extended family, or long term guests.

There’s also a substantial outbuilding of around 940 sq ft, currently used as workshop and garage space. It’s useful, adaptable and big enough to support a range of uses like storage, projects, or work from home setups that need a bit of separation.

The land is a big part of how Ambleside lives. The grounds include two large fishing lakes, which are actively used and provide seasonal income. They bring people in during the summer months, while in winter they give the property a quieter, reflective feel. Water, open space, and a sense of calm that doesn’t disappear when the weather turns.

Altogether, the buildings total around 4,781 sq ft, but it never feels overwhelming. Instead, it feels like a place with choice. Whether that’s how you live, how you earn, or how the balance shifts over time.

Lower Weare is a small village with a strong sense of place, tucked just below the Mendips. Axbridge, Cheddar and Winscombe are close for everyday needs, and the road links make Bristol, Weston-super-Mare and the motorway network straightforward to reach.

This is a home for someone who sees value in flexibility. The main house that can change with you, steady income from the bungalow and lakes, and land that adds purpose as well as space. It’s not trying to be everything at once. It simply offers options, and lets the right buyer decide how to use them
