House For Sale £675,000
Our team at GTH are captivated by this incredibly versatile 3 bedroom detached home with predominately south-facing grounds of a quarter of an acre with parking, garage, incredible views, almost 2,000 sq ft of accommodation and occupying an exclusive and private position within the medieval town of Ilminster.
A unique and highly versatile three bedroom detached home set in a private and exclusive position with south-facing grounds of a quarter of an acre and sublime views over Ilminster and rolling hills beyond. In brief the property comprises an entrance hall, kitchen/breakfast room, living room, WC, bedroom/study, and further living room to the ground floor with two bedrooms and a family bathroom to the west wing of the first floor and a further bedroom and bathroom to the east wing. With almost 2,000 sq ft of accommodation, this spacious home could serve a multitude of purposes. The kitchen is a great spot for socialising and enjoying a cup of tea whilst surveying the gorgeous gardens whilst the expansive, triple aspect living room is a fabulous space for family gatherings, watching the seasons unfold and the addition of sliding doors to the gardens, perfectly blends inside with out. The remainder of the ground floor, currently incorporated into more living accommodation, provides a designated study area and a further living room. It should be noted that this entire section would make a wonderful, self-contained annexe, especially given there is a bedroom above with its own ensuite facilities. This will prove a highly attractive proposition for those looking at multi-generational living and the ability to use this property in numerous ways. There are two further bedrooms that take in the south-facing vista which are both serviced by the family bathroom which has the luxury of a separate shower. 14 Higher Beacon is a welcoming, unique and impressive home, full of personality and should be viewed by families, those needing flexible living space and those simply wanting to position themselves close to excellent amenities and communication links. An exclusive and private residence occupying a highly desirable address in the medieval town of Ilminster.
Ilminster is a medieval market town, situated about 12 miles south east of the county town of Taunton. Surrounded by undulating open countryside designated a Special Landscape area, the majority of the town falls within a Conservation Area. Ilminster is well served by Tesco supermarket, co-op and various independent stores including dairy shop, traditional butcher, grocer, clothing boutiques and homewares store. There are two doctor’s surgeries and a dentist. Other notable benefits include a library, weekly market, restaurants, pubs, cafes, bakeries, hairdressers, beauty salons, a cocktail bar, gym and soft play centre. Creative types will enjoy Ilminster Arts Centre, a vibrant arts centre with its own café, art gallery and theatre. Local schooling can be found at Herne View a Church of England Primary School with secondary schooling found in the nearby towns of Crewkerne and Chard. Public Schools within easy reach include Chard School, Wellington School and Perott Hill whilst Kings Hall, Taunton School, Kings School and Queens School can all be found in Taunton. Ilminster has convenient road access to both the M5, A303 and A358. Mainline railway stations are situated at Crewkerne 7 miles (London Waterloo) and Taunton 13 miles (London Paddington). Berrys coaches offer a service to London twice a day. Bath, Bristol and Exeter offer excellent cultural and shopping facilities within easy travelling distance. The World Heritage designated coastline lies 18 miles to the South.
The property is approached via the no-through road of Higher Beacon leading to an area of off-road parking and large, detached garage with an attractive resin footpath and gravelled front garden. The grounds of a quarter of an acre are found, in main, to the rear – and are made up to manicured lawns, a raised patio area, decking and further complemented by an abundance of colourful flora, trees, shrubs, potted plants, a fabulous summer house, two garden sheds and a green house. The patio garden is reminiscent of a Mediterranean retreat and with its breath-taking views over Ilminster and Somerset hills, a magical space for alfresco dining and entertaining. Its southerly aspect will appeal to sun-lovers whilst those with children and/or pets will appreciate its privacy and enclosed surroundings. The bespoke decking plays host to an intimate summer house meaning that the gardens can be enjoyed whatever the weather. It’s a joy to behold and one very few can match.
