House For Sale £240,000
Such a lovely family-size home, tucked-away at the top of the development and backing onto countryside. Offered for sale with no onward chain, this one will be popular.
The Property
This light and airy property is on the open market for the very first time and is offered for sale with no onward chain. Offering great value accommodation, it’s tucked away at the top of a popular and mature development in a slightly elevated position with super views over the town and countryside. It’s well presented throughout, having been nicely modernised over the years offering perfect family accommodation that’s particularly spacious on the ground floor. The house also has a good size front garden, and neighbouring properties have added off road parking to their plots so there may be scope to do the same subject to the necessary consents and alterations.
From the front a double-glazed door opens into a useful entrance porch, which in turn leads through to the entrance hall where the stairs lead up to the first floor and there’s a handy downstairs cloakroom. To one side is a good size dual aspect sitting room with central reconstituted stone fireplace currently housing an electric fire. Beyond the hall is a second reception room adjoining the kitchen. This is fitted with an excellent range of dresser style units that match the kitchen and provide excellent storage for a busy family by way of cupboards, drawers and display units. There’s ample room for a generous table and an opening leads through to the good size kitchen at the rear fitted with modern birch units incorporating integrated tumble dryer, dishwasher, fridge and freezer, eye-level double oven, electric hob and cooker hood over. There is space and plumbing for your washing machine and an integrated dishwasher. A second door opens to the shared side alleyway providing easier access for unloading your shopping.
On the first floor, a southerly facing window lets in plenty of light to the stairwell, and a built-in laundry cupboard houses the wall mounted Vaillant gas boiler and slatted shelving.
At the front, the main bedroom enjoys far reaching views over town towards the countryside and has some fitted bedroom furniture as well as a built-in wardrobe. The second bedroom has a deep walk-in wardrobe and views over the garden and countryside at the rear as does the third bedroom also located at the rear. The family bathroom is attractively fitted with modern white suite including panelled bath with Mira shower over, pedestal wash hand basin and WC.
Outside
To the front, the garden is laid to lawn with flower border and small ornamental tree. Subject to the necessary consents there may be potential to create off road parking to the front. A shared pathway leads to the front door and also through the shared alleyway used by No.68 and 69 and leading to the side kitchen door.
To the rear a slightly elevated garden is accessed via concrete steps with handrails, leading up to a raised patio area with lawn beyond and raised bed with alpine plants and shrubs. There is a small aluminium greenhouse. An unofficial gateway leads into the field beyond, and although this is not a formal right of way, we understand local residents make use of the Dillington Estate permitted paths for dog walking etc. Adjoining the rear of the kitchen is a useful brick storage shed / tool shed with power and light.
Agents Note
There may be the possibility of a flying freehold due to the shared access / alleyway between No.68 and No.69. Please ask your legal representative to confirm this once the title documents have been reviewed.
Tucked away on the northern edge of the town, it lies away from busy traffic in a mature residential area. A short walk along the public footpaths takes you down into the town centre. The elevated position naturally provides lovely views across town to the front, whilst to the rear the property backs onto open countryside belonging to the Dillington Estate. As well as public footpaths in the local area, the Dillington Estate offers several kilometres of permissive footpaths, making this an ideal location for dog walkers.
Blackdown View lies approximately quarter of a mile from the heart of the community, where there’s 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 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 town has two schools, Greenfylde First School and Swanmead Middle School.
