House For Sale £575,000
No Onward Chain. A substantial and divine 4 bedroom converted chapel with a wealth of character, stylish and flexible accommodation, parking, detached garage, views, pretty gardens and occupying an attractive position within the village of Ilton.
A remarkable, individual and utterly charming four bedroom Grade II former Chapel occupying a lovely plot with parking and garage. In brief the property comprises an entrance hall, kitchen/breakfast room, reception room, three bedrooms and a family bathroom to the ground floor, with a master bedroom and ensuite to the first floor. This enchanting home is steeped in history and has been sympathetically upgraded to provide the very best of contemporary living whilst retaining a real sense of charm and character. The cottage-style kitchen is fitted with all mod-cons as well as a sizeable island/breakfast bar – great for socialising with family and friends. The crowning glory of The Old Chapel is the most magnificent and awe-inspiring reception room with a fully vaulted ceiling, wood-burner, stain-glass windows and original panelling. It’s currently set up with areas for formal dining as well as relaxed sitting room spaces. It will prove the envy of any guest and is the perfect setting for entertaining. The three bedrooms to the ground floor are all well-proportioned with views to the garden and countryside beyond. They are all serviced by the family bathroom. It is worth mentioning that one of these could easily be utilised as a study – ideal for those needing to work from home. To the first floor a galleried landing surveys the entrance hall and leads to the palatial master bedroom with exposed wood flooring, semi-vaulted ceiling and the tops of the impressive, stone-mullioned arch windows – it even has the luxury of its own ensuite. The current owner has taken great care to present the property to the very highest of standards, seamlessly uniting modern day living with original charm whilst also taking care to improve the integrity of the property. The Old Chapel will make an ideal family home and will also appeal to those who need single storey living and those simply wanting idyllic village life.
Ilton is a convenient village just a few minutes’ drive from Ilminster, which offers day to day amenities including a range of independent shops and supermarkets and is also well placed for road links via the A358 to the A303, A30 and M5. The village itself benefits from facilities including a pre-school and primary school, cricket pitch, public house, village hall and riding stables / livery yard. Taunton (9 miles) the County Town, provides a comprehensive range of recreational, scholastic and shopping facilities, as well as a main line railway station (Paddington line). Yeovil and Crewkerne (with its Waitrose supermarket) lie within a similar distance and also have main line railway stations (Waterloo line).
The property is approached by a private, gated driveway leading to off-road parking for multiple vehicles as well as the detached garage. The garage would also lend itself to being used as a gym, studio or work shop. The garden is situated to the left of the residence and is laid mainly to lawn and further complemented by mature shrubs, colourful flora and trees. A pagoda and patio area provide an enchanting setting for alfresco dining with a lovely vista over the garden and summer house beyond. The grounds back directly onto local farm land giving a real sense of space and privacy. It’s a great playground for those with children and those with pets will appreciate it can be fully enclosed. Whether it’s whiling away the summer months or enjoying with family and friends, The Old Chapel gardens are a joyous setting in which to do so.
