About
Just a short stroll from the pretty town centre facilities, supermarket, tennis and bowls club, and with a practical internal layout, this modern detached house is the epitome of convenience.
The Property With a stylish internal layout, further enhanced with some clever changes by the current owners, this is the perfect low-maintenance and lower-hassle home for those wanting to be right in the heart of the town and yet also not far from countryside walks.
Accommodation The spacious and welcoming entrance hall includes a built-in cupboard for coats and a handy downstairs cloakroom to one side.
To one side is a useful separate reception room, currently used as a family room / home office but equally suitable as a cosy formal dining room with dual aspect windows letting in plenty of natural light.
Across the hall is a generous kitchen, well fitted with a range of cream gloss units incorporating space for dishwasher, integrated electric hob and double oven, as well as space for an american style fridge-freezer.
A back door leads out onto the rear garden. The layout is further enhanced by a separate utlity / boot room which has been created in the former study.
Fitted with bespoke units and shelving it incorporates space for both a washing machine and tumble dryer alongside practical storage space, perfect for the busy family or those with four-legged friends.
At the rear of the house is a dual aspect sitting room with french doors opening into the garden.
On the first floor the layout has been equally well designed to incorporate a master bedroom with en suite shower room, and three further good size bedrooms served by a family bathroom with modern white suite including panelled bath, WC and wash hand basin, finished with mosaic style tiling.
Outside The property has a fully enclosed and pleasantly landscaped garden at the rear with areas of timber decking, lawn and shrubs enclosed by wall and fencing.
A rear gate opens out onto the adjoining driveway at the rear providing off road parking and access to the single garage with up and over door, power and light.
Situation The property is situated right in the heart of the pretty town centre, with its good 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 butcher’s, delicatessen, cheese and dairy shop, super hardware store, homewares, antiques stores, clothes boutiques and gift shops.
Ilminster is 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.
There is also an excellent Co-op store with adjacent Peacocks clothes store.
Ilminster Arts Centre is a vibrant arts venue with a licensed café and there are plenty of other places to eat, including pubs and cafes.
