House For Sale £250,000
Right in the heart of the pretty town centre, this spacious characterful cottage has two double bedrooms including one with en suite shower and a low-maintenance courtyard.
The Property
You enter through a pretty period style front door with coloured leaded top light into an entrance lobby with room to hang coats. A door opens into a front sitting room with double glazed window to the front, wood effect flooring and the stairs rising to the first floor with understairs cupboard. To one corner is the gas meter. This is a cosy front living room which could alternatively be used as a dining room as the inner reception room is slightly larger. Currently used as a second sitting room, the inner reception room lies adjacent to the kitchen and overlooks the courtyard. An ornate oak fireplace houses an electric stove-style fire.
The kitchen has been nicely modernised with a range of contemporary fitted units comprising floor and wall mounted storage cupboards and drawers with work surfaces over incorporating white ceramic single bowl single drainer sink with mixer tap. A door opens to the courtyard and there are obscured windows letting in natural light from the rear. The kitchen units incorporate space for washing machine and dishwasher whilst there is an integrated induction hob and electric oven.
On the first floor are two double bedrooms. The second bedroom lies at the front and is a good double room with built in wardrobe and a newly created en suite shower room to one side. The en suite is fitted with a space-saving contemporary suite including shower cubicle with mains shower, and WC / wash hand basin combination.
At the rear of the cottage is a particularly spacious main bedroom with two double glazed windows to the side, and with painted ornate fireplace housing further electric stove.
The main bathroom lies adjacent to the main bedroom and is fitted with panelled bath, WC, bidet and vanity wash hand basin unit with adjoining storage.
Outside
There is a small courtyard style outdoor area accessed via the side kitchen door. This is currently laid to artificial grass. There is an outside tap. There is ample room for container gardening and somewhere to sit out but is very much a low-maintenance garden to suit those with a busy lifestyle or who cannot manage a larger garden. Adjoining the garden a former outhouse is now a useful store with power connected and sliding patio doors to the garden. It may have potential to use as a home office or hobby space etc subject to any necessary improvements and consents.
Agents Note
The property is located in a designated conservation area.
Wharf Lane is tucked away from busy traffic and yet just a two-minute walk into the heart of the pretty market town centre with its wide variety of independent stores. These 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 market square is just a short walk away too and serves as the bus stop for local bus services to neighbouring towns and the Berry’s Superfast coach service to London. Main line train stations can be found at Taunton (London Paddington / Bristol / Bath etc) and Crewkerne (London Waterloo / Exeter etc). The town has two schools, Greenfylde First School and Swanmead Middle School.
