House For Sale £525,000
With their spacious accommodation and being so conveniently placed for facilities, these exceptional properties are always popular with those buyers looking for good proportions but wanting a bit less to look after. With 4 / 5 bedrooms (including en suite bedrooms on both the ground floor and first floor) it would also suit single level living with room for visiting guests.
The Property
The properties in Breowan Close are quite unique locally in terms of their layout and generous proportions. When they come to the open market they are sought after by those who appreciate the size and versatility, as well as the convenience of being just a short walk from the pretty town centre and local theatre.
This particular property has been thoughtfully improved to give a more modern feel throughout. Additional changes over the years such as the addition of the conservatory and knocking through the kitchen to the utility room has also given an extra bit of useful space.
From the storm porch you enter into a large welcoming hallway with herringbone lvt flooring and ample room for hallway furniture under the stairs. One corner contains a built-in cupboard for coats and shoes. An additional shower room with modern white suite includes a double shower cubicle, and there’s a further useful built-in cupboard for household essentials. This shower room serves as a day-to-day downstairs WC and can also serve the second bedroom if you need a guest room on the ground floor, although the current vendors use this as a family room / play room with handy additional access to the conservatory at the rear. The ground floor also includes a spacious master bedroom with two sets of double fitted wardrobes and a generous en suite bathroom.
Across the hall is an impressive L-shaped living room / dining room again with hardwearing lvt flooring and more than enough space for even the largest of dining tables and sofa suites. French doors open into the conservatory at the rear which has a ceramic tiled floor and sliding double glazed doors to both ends allowing it to be completely opened up in fine weather. From the dining area you flow through to a modern kitchen / breakfast room with useful utility space to one side. Overlooking the rear, and with a door to the rear courtyard on this side of the property, the kitchen is attractively fitted with a range of cream fronted modern units comprising floor and wall mounted storage cupboards and drawers. Solid timber worktops incorporate a ceramic white one and a half bowl single drainer sink unit with mixer tap, and tiled splashbacks. There’s space for your dishwasher, built-in double eye-level electric oven and induction hob. The current vendors have a freestanding unit and fitted shelving to one side which would potentially give space for a breakfast table if you prefer, although the dining space is immediately adjacent to the kitchen. To one side is a utility area with extra plumbing for your washing machine and a handy second sink, as well as space for a freestanding fridge freezer. There is also a water softener unit. A door opens into the integral single garage.
On the first floor, velux windows flood the rooms with natural light but retain privacy. A double bedroom to the front has built-in storage under the eaves, and there’s a separate generous shower room with ample space to add a bath if you particularly needed one. It’s attractively fitted with a modern white suite comprising WC, wash hand basin and double shower cubicle with fully tiled walls in a neutral colour with decorative border.
An inner landing has a sun tube providing natural light, and copious amounts of storage via substantial under eaves cupboards with sliding doors. There’s a further double bedroom to one side and in turn the landing leads to a particularly spacious first floor master suite. The bedroom has more than enough space for even a super-king bed, your own freestanding furniture and a sofa or two! An en suite has been added with contemporary white suite including double shower cubicle with mains shower and dual head controls, large vanity wash hand basin with associated storage and concealed cistern WC, and large chrome ladder style towel radiator, all complemented by aqua metro tiling.
Outside
The front driveway provides parking and access to the integral single garage which has an up and over door, power and light. The front garden is laid to lawn with shrub borders and a side passageway which provides useful external access to the rear garden if required.
The rear garden is in two sections. Outside the kitchen door is a useful paved courtyard area, ideal for storage and with an outside tap. The garden is enclosed by fencing across the western boundary with trellis top for extra privacy. A handy gate leads to the footpath at the rear which to the north leads to the local theatre, and to the south leads down towards the recreation ground / cricket and football club (200m) and doctors’ surgeries (500m).
The top area of garden is a nice size but not too much to look after with two levels of patio areas for outside seating, lawned garden and mature shrubs. A gateway provides access to the shared side passageway.
Agents Note
The property is attached on one side via the integral single garage and first floor en suite bedroom. To the other side, the properties are attached at roof level and via a side passageway.
The vendor informs us that all doors and windows have been replaced since the last EPC rating, apart from the conservatory, which will have improved efficiency.
The neighbouring property (No.9) has a right of way across the driveway to use the shared side passageway.
The mature tree in Summerlands Park Avenue to the south-west of the property is subject to a Tree Preservation Order.
Breowan Close is a small peaceful cul de sac of similar looking properties which are each quite different in their internal layouts. They form part of a small development built in the 1990’s alongside a high-quality retirement complex, offering a chance to own a freehold property in what is naturally a peaceful but very handy location. The main town centre of Ilminster lies within two or three-minutes’ walk 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).
