Situated close to the town’s shops, this deceptively spacious cottage has two double bedrooms, a wonderful enclosed south facing cottage garden with the added bonus of parking for two vehicles and a garage.

The Property
Surprisingly spacious, the property is light and bright with neutral décor with practical, hardwearing flooring throughout the main living areas and carpets to the two bedrooms. The cottage stands out from the others in the row with an off-white render front elevation under a tiled roof and solar panels.

A wooden storm porch with timber door leads in to the Kitchen/diner with gas ray burn stove providing central heating throughout the property. Tiled floor with a part brick-built kitchen housing unit and a ceramic Belfast sink. Block wooden work tops and open shelving gives a cottage feel. Off the kitchen is a cloakroom/W/C and enclosed staircase leading to the first floor. The sitting room enjoys a double aspect and has a southerly view over the garden. A practical tiled floor following on from the kitchen. A wood burning stove provides extra heat and adds to the character of the cottage.

On the first floor there are two double bedrooms both with built in wardrobes and enjoy a southerly aspect. Off the landing is an airing cupboard and a further double storage cupboard. The bathroom is tastefully done with a freestanding roll top, claw foot bath a large walk-in shower with fixed shower head and a mixer tap with separate handheld shower attachment. W/C with high level cistern and was basin.

Outside
The cottage overlooks a mature southerly aspect garden with a verity of shrubs and small trees. The garden is mainly laid to lawn with a path leading to a raised decked area with summerhouse. There is also the benefit of parking adjoining the garden. Across a shared area is a single garage (middle one of three) 16’1” x 9’8” with single up and over door.

Southview is located just a short walk from the town centre, with the Royal Oak pub just beyond the end of road and Swanmead Community School just a few yards farther on. The doctors’ surgeries are located not far away off of Canal Way, and there is good access for dog walking via local footpaths and the Chard – Ilminster cycle path. The first and middle schools are both within walking distance as is the recreation ground.

The local stores are mostly centred around the market square and 15th century Minster church and have everything you need from an excellent butchers and delicatessen, cheese and dairy shop, homewares and antiques stores, clothes boutiques and gift shops. The town is also well served by a town-centre Tesco store with ample free parking just a short walk from the town centre. Alongside the supermarket is a bowls club and tennis club. There is also a town library. Ilminster Arts centre is a vibrant arts venue with licensed cafe. There are plenty of other places to eat too, including pubs, restaurants, cafes and takeaways. The town has several hairdressers / beauty salons and a dental surgery. Ilminster is arguably one of South-Somerset's prettiest market towns and benefits from superb road links via the A303 and A358.
