House For Sale £425,000
A rare opportunity to acquire one of just a handful of 4 bedroom detached houses on Herne Rise with plenty of parking, spectacular views, large south-facing garden, versatile and well-presented accommodation and within easy reach of the centre of Ilminster as well as incredible countryside walks.
One of only a handful of detached properties on the southern side of Ilminster with four bedrooms, generous south-facing gardens, flexible accommodation and plenty of parking. In brief the property comprises an entrance hall, sitting room, kitchen/dining room, further reception room, utility to the ground floor with four bedrooms (one ensuite) and a family bathroom to the first floor. This lovely home has been beautifully maintained and updated by the current owners to provide the very best of modern day living, especially to the ground floor which is noticeably light and has a fantastic, open-plan flow. The sitting room is a lovely space to unwind, particularly in the colder months thanks to a wood-burner, providing an attractive focal point and source of heat. There are also superb, elevated views over Ilminster itself. The kitchen/dining room is well fitted with all the expected appliances and leads to the hallway/boot room – ideal for muddy pets and/or children coming in from the garden and further designated utility space. The reception room at the rear of the property is endlessly versatile and could be used as an extra sitting room, formal dining room or play room to name but a few. It also has the advantage of French doors leading out onto the south-facing gardens. All four bedrooms are generously proportioned with the master having the luxury of its own ensuite. 1 Herne Rise is the perfect family home, great for hosting and multi-faceted. Its enviable position is an easy walk in to the medieval town of Ilminster and just a stone’s throw from Herne Hill, a conservation area – perfect for dog-walking and child’s play. A rare find in an increasingly popular area.
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 by a large area of off-road parking for multiple vehicles with a driveway on the right. Historically there was a garage which has now been utilised into a store/workshop and utility but could be reinstated as a garage should one wish. The main garden lies to the rear and is made up to shingle, patio, sweeping lawns, chippings and further complemented by an abundance of shrubs, flora and trees as well as greenhouse and shed. It is relatively private and its southerly-facing aspect will be of particular note for those who enjoy sitting out in the sun and enjoying with family and friends. There are a number of seating areas, which provide a romantic setting for alfresco dining whilst those with children and/or pets will appreciate it is fully enclosed.
