House For Sale £575,000
Tucked away at the end of a peaceful no-through lane, this substantial detached property offers you the rare opportunity to have the best of both worlds. It lies within easy reach of the town centre and is perfect if you prefer single-level living but don’t want to compromise on space, inside and out.
The Property
Offered for sale for the first time, the property was constructed in 2003 for the previous owners to their own specification. It offers bright, spacious single-level accommodation that makes the most of its southerly facing rear aspect.
You enter via a wide storm porch with brick arch and outside courtesy light, through the double-glazed front door and obscure glazed side panels into the generous entrance hall. This in turn leads to all the principal rooms and has a tactile curved inner wall, which is a nice touch to the design. There is access to the loft via a hatch and a particularly roomy double airing cupboard with ample shelving and hot water cylinder etc. The kitchen breakfast room is located at the front of the property with an outlook over the private driveway and frontage. It is fitted with a range of modern birch units comprising floor and wall mounted storage cupboards and drawers with work surfaces over incorporating one and half bowl single drainer stainless steel sink unit with mixer tap, electric hob and double oven. There’s space for an under-surface appliance such as a fridge, and tiled splashbacks. A glazed door conveniently opens through into the L-shaped living / dining room where there is plenty of room for a substantial dining table. This room benefits from a triple aspect with windows to three sides letting in lots of natural light. (See Agents Note). There is also scope to create further access to the rear garden by replacing the rear windows with doors should you prefer.
From the hall, a doorway opens to a useful separate utility room which leads straight out into the garden. The utility room is fitted with complementary birch units including floor and wall mounted cupboards and useful second sink and drainer. There are two spaces for under-counter appliances and further room for your washing machine.
The family bathroom is bright and roomy, with suite comprising corner bath and shower handset, corner WC, pedestal wash hand basin and chrome ladder towel rail / rad as well as normal central heating radiator. The master bedroom is another light dual-aspect room with two sets of built-in double wardrobes and an en suite to one side. This comprises corner shower cubicle with mains shower, pedestal wash hand basin and low-level WC. The two remaining bedrooms are also very spacious double rooms and either could equally double as extra reception rooms if required.
Outside
The property is approached via Love Lane which is effectively a no-through road. At the very end of Love Lane, access to the property is via a private driveway over which The Bays will retain a right of way. This leads to its own substantial driveway providing ample parking / turning space and access to the adjoining double garage. The garage has two up and over doors, power and light connected and rear windows and door to the garden. There is a side access path leading around to the rear.
At the front of the property are outside lights and two external water taps. To the rear is a good size south facing garden backing onto the Shudrick Valley countryside. It is mainly laid to lawn and bordered on the south by a hedgerow. There are some mature trees and shrubs and a useful aluminium greenhouse. There is also a rear door into the double garage.
Agents Note
The vendor is retaining the private driveway and a portion of land to the east and south of the property. The current conservatory will be removed shortly and a new fence erected. They intend to submit a planning application in the future for the retained land to the east of the bungalow.
Local buyers may well be aware of the situation with regards to potential planning having been refused in the Shudrick Valley. Those who are not aware are advised to check the current situation and local plans in order to satisfy themselves as to the current position prior to making an offer.
The property has the benefit of being tucked away off a private driveway, at the end on a no-through lane. It is within easy reach of the heart of the community, near to a 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 a modern health centre on the southern side of the town with two doctors' surgeries.
