House For Sale £250,000
Whether you're downsizing, have a busy lifestyle or need the perfect "lock up and leave" this surprisingly spacious coach house is perfect for those who like a feeling of space alongside lower maintenance living.
The Property
A unique coach house conversion offering spacious yet low maintenance accommodation. Tucked away in a popular cul de sac just 0.5 miles from the town centre, it also lies within easy reach of the recreation ground, local school and doctor’s surgeries. Formerly a coach house apartment, previous owners had added an entrance porch, converted the garage into a spacious kitchen / dining room, and changed the former parking area into a courtyard garden to create a surprisingly roomy three-bedroom home over two floors.
The front door leads into an initial light and airy entrance hall with large ceramic floor tiles and the stairs leading to the first floor. Double doors to one side open up into a versatile kitchen / dining / living space which not only has room for a dining table but comfy chairs or a sofa too perhaps near the patio doors, which open onto an enclosed courtyard garden.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of modern gloss white units comprising floor and wall mounted storage cupboards and deep pan drawers with work surfaces over incorporating single bowl single drainer sink unit with mixer tap, integrated gas hob and electric oven with cooker hood and glass splash back. There is also space for an upright fridge freezer. It’s a very practical and sociable kitchen. To one side of the dining area a downstairs WC has been created with modern vanity wash hand basin, WC and fitted cupboard housing the gas fired combination boiler. A further door from the kitchen leads into an Understairs Utility area with space and plumbing for washing machine, and shelf over which the current vendors have utilised for their tumble dryer.
On the first floor is a lovely open-plan living room with dormer windows to the east side letting in the morning sun. There is access to the loft space via hatch with ladder and doors open to three bedrooms and a nicely fitted bathroom. The bathroom has a velux style window to the rear, and is fitted with white suite comprising panelled bath, double shower cubicle with mains shower fitted with dual head controls, wash hand basin and WC. There is also a chrome ladder style towel radiator to one side.
The main bedroom is a good double with range of mirror fronted fitted wardrobes to one side. Bedroom two is a smaller double or generous single room, and the former kitchen makes another single room with plenty of power points if you need an extra study or office.
Outside
The freehold extends into the parking area at the rear over which neighbouring properties have a right to access their allocated parking spaces etc. This property has an enclosed courtyard garden with gate providing access. The courtyard is enclosed by fencing, and laid to both gravel and paving with outside storage areas to each side.
Agents Note
As is normal protocol for coach house style properties, the property owns the freehold of the two adjoining garages which are leased on 999 year leases from 1/1/2003 to Numbers 31 and 33 Lower Meadow.
Lower Meadow is a modern development on the southern side of the town and ideally placed for families with a level walk to the recreation ground, play area and tennis courts, and close to the start of the Ilminster - Chard cycle path. It's also conveniently placed within a short walk of the doctors' surgeries and local schools, as well as the wide range of facilities in the town centre.
The local stores are mostly centred around the market square and 15th century Minster church and have everything you need from an excellent butchers and delicatessen, cheese and dairy shop, homewares and antiques stores, clothes boutiques and gift shops. The town is also well served by a town-centre Tesco store with ample free parking just a short walk from the town centre. Alongside the supermarket is a bowls club and tennis club. There is also a town library.
Ilminster Arts centre is a vibrant arts venue with licensed cafe. There are plenty of other places to eat too, including pubs, restaurants, cafe's and takeaways. 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 benefits from superb road links via the A303 and A358. The town has a newly merged primary school – Herne View.
