Situation: Axbridge’s historic medieval square, with its pubs, café, shops and (notably!) the pharmacy, featured in 2026’s BBC TV sitcom ‘Can you Keep a Secret?’ with Dawn French, and showed the town off at its best, with many idyllic drone shots of this picturesque area. Axbridge itself is also lucky enough to have a post office, GP surgery, and a primary school, rated “Good” by Ofsted. Both primary and nursery schools are also available in nearby Weare, while older students typically attend the Kings of Wessex Academy () or one of the nearby independent schools, such as Sidcot School, Wells Cathedral School, or Millfield. Axbridge has a strong community spirit, hosting regular farmers’ markets, annual events, and even a unique pageant every decade. Steeped in history, the town was granted its Royal Charter in 1202 and remains one of Somerset’s most characterful small towns. Surrounded by stunning countryside, including the Mendip Hills’ Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Somerset Levels, Cheddar Reservoir, and the Strawberry Line cycle path, this location offers the best of both town and country living. Excellent transport links via the nearby M5 and A38 make commuting to Wells, Cheddar, Weston-super-Mare, or Bristol straightforward, with Bristol Airport just 20 minutes away. The coast is also easily reached, with sandy beaches a short drive from the town.

Directions: Proceeding out of Cheddar towards Axbridge on the A371, pass a Petrol Station and a right hand turning indicating Shipham and continue around the left hand bend and head towards Axbridge and the property can be found on the right hand side just past the Cheddar village sign.
