House For Sale £600,000
An elegant and immaculate detached house situated within a few minutes’ walk of the town centre. The versatile and adaptable accommodation includes four double bedrooms whilst outside it offers you a professionally landscaped garden, extensive parking and garage.
The Property
Whether you’re a busy family needing plenty of personal space or are looking to relocate to be closer to amenities, this individual and surprisingly spacious detached house gives you scope to use each room in several different ways to suit your needs. Set back from the road and built to a high standard by a local builder in 2012 it almost has a period feel to it with its double fronted façade, wooden internal doors, good proportions and ceiling heights. It has been beautifully maintained and improved by the current owners who have also had the garden professionally landscaped.
The generous entrance hall has stairs leading to the first floor with a storage cupboard and attractive hardwearing lvt wood flooring. The sitting room features an attractive hamstone fire surround with multifuel burner inset. As with many of the rooms the window overlooking the front has plantation style shutters giving privacy whilst retaining lots of natural light. Double doors at the far end of the room lead to the dining room/conservatory and allow the space to be completely opened up if you wish.
The former dining room has been converted by the current owners to a separate snug or family room and provides an ideal area to enjoy some private time tucked away from the other accommodation. They have added an extra TV point, and it would equally make a generous study for those working from home or play room for a family.
Off the hall, a smaller study space has been converted into a useful pantry/store room with space for extra appliances such as a fridge and freezer along with plenty of hanging space to tuck your coats out of sight, rather than cluttering the hall.
The spacious kitchen/breakfast room is equipped with an excellent range of modern cream shaker style units set under a wooden worktop and include an integrated dishwasher. The dual-fual range cooker with 5 burner gas hob will be included in the sale. To one side, a tall unit previously housed an integrated fridge / freezer and a buyer may choose to reinstate this if they don’t have a freestanding version. The worktop includes a modern composite sink unit with a pleasant outlook over the landscaped rear gardens.
Situated just off the kitchen is the utility room with door to the outside and space for your washing machine. A cupboard houses the boiler to one side there is a downstairs cloakroom, discreetly tucked away from the main accommodation.
The conservatory/dining room is a large bright multi-functional room that overlooks the rear gardens and is used all year round. Double doors open onto the patio, and there is space for a good size dining table as well as leaving space to spare for a comfy chair or two.
On the first floor is an unusually generous landing area with access to the loft and airing cupboard housing the hot water tank / system.
Every one of the four bedrooms can accommodate a double bed. The principal bedroom is particularly large (currently with a super king size bed) and also has two sets of fitted wardrobes. The en suite is fully tiled with contemporary grey ceramic tiles in a polished stone effect. The modern suite includes shower cubicle with mains shower, vanity wash hand basin and WC, with chrome ladder style towel rail.
The family bathroom is beautifully fitted with contemporary suite including panelled bath with tongue and groove effect panel, spacious separate shower cubicle with dual shower head, concealed cistern WC and vanity wash basin. The large neutral horizontal wall tiles provide a timeless, minimalist look and make the room feel particularly spacious.
Outside
Set well back from the road, you enter the property via an initial area of driveway shared with the neighbouring properties. From here you access the generous private driveway belonging to this property which provides plenty of parking and turning space. There is a detached garage with remote controlled up and over door, power and lighting with side pedestrian door onto the driveway. To the side of the garage (bordering the road) is an area of lawn edged by brick wall and fencing with a recently planted beech hedge.
Access to either side of the house is via gated secure pathways and both sides lead to the enclosed and beautifully landscaped gardens. Designed and constructed by a professional local firm, it has made the most of the position and created a lovely outlook that can be enjoyed from the rear of the house. A paved path to one side is edged with a raised bed including shrubs and shade loving plants by the fence such as Hostas and Ferns. The path continues across the rear of the house with a substantial timber raised bed planted with shrubs such as Camellia and herbaceous perennials. There is an outside tap and the path leads around to the other side of the house, towards the utility door. Steps lead up to a large sunny patio area perfect for al fresco dining and surrounded by drystone walls creating raised beds filled with sun-loving plants. A well-stocked rockery flows down towards the house and the borders are packed with an abundance of colour from Elder, Roses, Herbs and Erigeron daisies. The garden is fully enclosed by close-boarded fencing for safety and privacy.
The main town centre of Ilminster lies within walking distance of the property with its good 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, super hardware store, homewares, antiques stores, clothes boutiques and gift shops.
Ilminster is 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. There is also an excellent Co-op store with adjacent Peacocks clothes store. Ilminster Arts Centre is a vibrant arts venue with a licensed café and there are plenty of other places to eat, including pubs, cafes and restaurants.
The town has several hairdressers / beauty salons, a dental surgery, Primary School and a modern health centre with two doctors' surgeries. It is a charming market town and benefits from superb road-links via the A303 and A358. There are mainline stations located at Crewkerne (London Waterloo to Exeter) and Taunton (London Paddington / Bristol / Bath).
