House For Sale £800,000
An extensively remodelled and enlarged family home with the added benefit of a c.3 acre paddock, gardens, and yard area. Further potential for a separate dwelling (planning permission pending) or further new outbuildings (planning permission granted). Ideal for those looking for a property with scope for multi-generational living.
The Property
The current owner has extensively remodelled and enlarged what was originally a much smaller property on the same site. They have created a deceptively spacious and welcoming family-size home with a great deal of versatility. The property has a traditional farmhouse feel with stone floors and lots of timber throughout, but with all the modern conveniences you would expect including double glazing, central heating and a superb layout to suit modern life.
You enter via a spacious entrance hall with stone flooring and oak staircase leading to the first floor. Oak doors open through to all rooms, with a useful downstairs shower-room to one side of the hall. As well as Low level WC and wash hand basin this includes a good size shower cubicle with dual head controls, chrome ladder towel radiator and ceramic stone effect wall tiles to complement the stone floor.
A superb open-plan farmhouse style kitchen / dining room enjoys a double aspect with two sets of French doors to the south and west elevations of the house. A solid wood kitchen includes light duck egg blue traditional units with granite worktops incorporating double bowl ceramic butler style sink and period mixer tap. The units include an integrated dishwasher, and attractive oak open shelving. There is plenty of space for even the largest of family dining tables, and still plenty of room for some easy chairs or sofa. To one side of the kitchen is a feature chimney breast with oak lintel housing a dark blue Rayburn stove with matching duck egg units and granite worktop to one side.
Adjoining the kitchen is a wonderfully roomy utility / laundry with the continuation of the stone flooring and further solid blue traditional units and oak worktops providing extra storage space and a traditional drying rack overhead. The units incorporate space for two washing machines and a tumble dryer if you so wish.
From the hall a further door opens into a snug / family room with stable-style door opening to the outside verandah, triple aspect windows and contemporary cast iron woodburning stove. Further oak doors open to another reception room at the rear of the house. This is currently arranged as a ground floor bedroom but would be another good size study or playroom. French doors open to the south side of the house and to one corner is a further woodburning stove with slate hearth and oak mantelshelf. The dual aspect sitting room also opens to the garden, and there’s a further cast iron stove with oak mantelshelf.
On the first floor the landing has oak floorboards and houses the airing cupboard with hot water tank etc. Oak doors open to all rooms. The master bedroom is particularly light and airy with triple aspect windows and luxurious en suite bathroom including double ended bath and separate shower cubicle. This has been attractively fitted with stone tiled flooring and ceramic fully tiled walls, including display recesses.
A second double bedroom is the ideal guest room with a further en suite including double shower cubicle. There are two further double bedrooms on the first floor and a family bathroom with p-shaped bath and dual head shower above.
Outside
To the side of the property an unfinished driveway leads off the road around to the rear of the property where there is a yard area with various parking spaces and areas of hardstanding. The vendors obtained planning permission for improved stabling / garaging / storage in this area. See agents’ notes.
On the west side of the house is a large slate patio, with outside tap and oil tank for the central heating system. On the south side of the house is a lawned garden, with a mature hedge bordering the road and stone wall on the western boundary. The slate patio continues across the south side of the house. To the eastern side is a further five bar gate (currently not in use) bordering the roadside and an area of apple orchard with mature trees and old corrugated sheds with mature wisteria.
A separate paddock of c.3.07 acres is located to the east side of the property.

There is a current planning application pending reference 20/01591/out for a further detached house to be built within the yard area. This gives new owners potential for multi-generational living on the same site if the planning permission is granted. Alternatively, it gives potential for the resale of any separate dwelling for which planning is successfully obtained. This pending application can be viewed online at ssdc Planning Portal Reference 20/01591/out.
The previous approved application reference 16/04618/ful grants permission for stables / store / garaging in the yard area.

Situation
The village is very accessible via Ilminster / Puckington or the A358. Ilton is just a few minutes’ drive from Ilminster, which offers day to day amenities including a range of independent shops and supermarkets and is also well placed for road links via the A358 to the A303, A30 and M5. It benefits from facilities including a pre-school and primary school, cricket pitch, public house, village hall and riding stables / livery yard. Taunton (9 miles) the County Town, provides a comprehensive range of recreational, scholastic and shopping facilities, as well as a main line railway station (Paddington line). Yeovil and Crewkerne (with its Waitrose supermarket) lie within a similar distance and also have main line railway stations (Waterloo line).<br/><br/>
