House For Sale £450,000
An individual detached property with double garage set within walking distance of the pretty town centre, and glorious far-reaching views.
The Property
The property was built by the current owners in the mid 1990’s and since then has benefitted from replacement windows and doors. It is beautifully presented for sale and offers a new owner the chance to purchase a completely individual home that’s large enough for a family but could also suit those downsizing who want to be within easy reach of the town centre facilities. There may also be scope for further extension to the side over the double garage subject to the necessary consents.
It is set in a good size plot, with elevated gardens to the rear which have been attractively laid out and maintained providing plenty of entertaining space. They make the most of the position on the hill that naturally means a very sunny aspect and great views.
You enter the property through a useful front entrance porch with UPVC double glazed windows and tiled floor. In turn this opens into an entrance hall with oak flooring. To one side is an open plan kitchen / dining space, the dining area with a large southerly facing window to the front flooding the room with natural light. The kitchen is fitted with a range of fitted units comprising floor and wall mounted storage cupboards and drawers with work surfaces over incorporating composite sink unit with mixer tap. There is also a separate tap for filtered water. There is an integrated gas hob and electric oven with cooker hood over, and space for your own dishwasher. An opening leads through to a separate utility area where there is space for your washing machine, and space for an upright fridge / freezer. To one side is a wall mounted Worcester Bosch boiler for central heating. There is also a water softener located in the utility room, which pre-treats the water / heating the other side of the hall is a light and airy dual aspect sitting room with French doors opening to the rear garden and far-reaching views over town to the front. A modern fireplace houses a contemporary gas real flame fire and the oak flooring continues through from the hall.
On the first floor is a naturally lit landing with further open tread staircase leading to the second floor. Doors open to a master bedroom with two large single fitted wardrobes, and windows to the front and rear. An en suite shower room to one side is fitted with concealed cistern WC and complementary vanity wash hand basin with associated storage and ladder style radiator / towel rail. There are two further bedrooms on the first floor, a double to the front and a good size single overlooking the rear garden. The family bathroom is pleasantly fitted with panelled bath and shower over, wash hand basin and WC. Again, there is a ladder style radiator / towel rail.
On the second floor are two versatile attic rooms which were part of the original build but due to head height restrictions cannot officially be classed as bedrooms. They are none the less two good size rooms perfect if you work from home or need space for a hobby or storage for example. They have velux windows, laminate flooring and recessed downlighters to the ceiling.
Outside
The property is approached over a tarmac driveway providing ample parking for several vehicles and access to the attached double garage with remote-operated roller shutter door. It has power and light connected and potential for storage within the roof trusses. From the driveway the rear garden is securely fenced with a solid pedestrian gate leading around to the rear patio where there is a further pedestrian door into the garage. There is also an outside tap. A patio stretches across the rear of the house providing some welcome shade in summer whilst steps lead up to the rest of the garden. Due to its elevated nature the garden enjoys plenty of sunshine and is a good size but the larger level areas have been laid attractively to gravel and slate chippings for ease of maintenance and a contemporary look. There are also borders for the keen gardeners to enjoy, without having too much ongoing maintenance, and some ornamental trees.
The top terrace is particularly sunny and a pergola with its own decking area is the perfect place to sit and enjoy the aspect whatever the time of day. To one side is a spacious timber summerhouse to hideaway in! This too comes with its own sunny deck to the front and side and has professionally installed power points. The garden is completely enclosed by old stone walling, mature hedging and fencing. To the west side of the house is a timber storage shed. The frontage is also attractively landscaped, with borders to the side of the driveway and a sun-drenched front garden with shrubs and grasses.
Situation
The property is located not far from the town centre, in an elevated position with far-reaching views across the town to the countryside beyond. Not far away is the entrance to the Dillington Estate permitted paths, perfect for dog walking and recreation, whilst the town centre is within a short walk.
The town centre shops are mostly centred around the market square and 15th century Minster church and have everything you need from an award-winning butchers, delicatessen, cheese and dairy shop, homewares, antiques stores, clothes boutiques and gift shops.
Ilminster is also well served by a town-centre Tesco store with ample free parking. Alongside is a bowls club and tennis club and close-by a town library. Ilminster Arts Centre is a vibrant arts venue with licensed café and there are plenty of other places to eat too, including pubs, cafes, restaurants and take-aways. The town also benefits from several hairdressers / beauty salons and a dental surgery as well as modern health centre on the southern side of the town with two doctors' surgeries. Ilminster is arguably one of South-Somerset's prettiest market towns and has everything you need for day to day living on your doorstep. Should you need to go further afield it benefits from superb road links via the A303 and A358. The town has two schools, Greenfylde First School and Swanmead Middle School.<br/><br/>
