25 Greengage Cottages, Standerwick Orchard, Ilminster, TA19 9SL

All the charm of a cottage, wrapped-up in a modern low-maintenance property.

It is exceptionally well appointed throughout and has a lovely outlook to the rear, all within easy reach of the village facilities and excellent road links.

The Property This high-quality, well-maintained modern cottage is presented in excellent decorative order throughout.

Character features include oak doors with rustic iron latches, a durable polished stone floor running through the hall and kitchen/dining area, and the tasteful use of exposed brickwork and timber beams.

The flexible layout, complemented by a light-filled conservatory, provides versatile accommodation well suited to families, couples, or those working from home.

Bespoke storage solutions have been thoughtfully integrated, and the bathroom has been fully updated with a sympathetically designed contemporary suite.

The property is ready for immediate occupation, allowing a new owner to move straight in and enjoy this exceptional home, while still offering scope to personalise over time.

Accommodation From the moment you enter through the cottage-style front door, the hallway immediately establishes the character of the home.

Polished stone flooring continues throughout the downstairs cloakroom and extends beneath the staircase, where a bespoke built-in cupboard offers practical storage.

The polished stone-effect flooring flows seamlessly into the kitchen/dining room, creating a bright and welcoming space with pleasant garden views and French doors opening into the conservatory.

The country-style fitted units include an integrated dishwasher, fridge freezer and space for a washing machine, whilst the range-style electric cooker is included in the sale.

The generous layout offers flexibility, allowing the dining area to double as a cosy snug with seating during the summer months, when meals may instead be enjoyed in the modern double-glazed conservatory.

With dual-aspect windows and French doors, this is a light-filled room that opens directly onto the garden and beautifully captures the outlook.

The separate living room also benefits from French doors leading out to the rear garden and is further enhanced by a feature fireplace with a flagstone hearth, brick pillars, and oak lintel housing an inset cast-iron wood-burning stove.

On the first floor, attractive oak doors provide access to all rooms.

A built-in boiler cupboard houses the fully electric central heating system, which operates as a traditional “wet” system with radiators throughout the cottage, powered by an electric boiler.

Above the stairwell, a useful built-in linen cupboard makes excellent use of the deep recess.

The principal bedroom is situated at the rear of the property and enjoys lovely views over the village and surrounding countryside.

It includes a deep fitted wardrobe with oak doors, while the adjoining en suite shower room features a white suite and a shower cubicle with neutral tiling.

Bedroom two is a well-proportioned double room with further oak-fronted built-in wardrobes.

Bedroom three is a good-sized single room, also suitable as a study, with ample space for visiting guests if required.

The family bathroom is larger than the en suite and has been stylishly modernised, featuring a period-style suite, marble-effect tiling, deco style fittings, and a complementary heated towel radiator.

Outside The attractive, well-planned gardens complement the cottage perfectly and are clearly well maintained throughout.

The charming front garden is enclosed by a traditional stone wall, while a driveway to the side provides ample off-road parking and access to the attached single garage, which benefits from an up-and-over door, power, and lighting.

A side gate provides secure access to the rear garden, which can be reached via the conservatory and has been thoughtfully designed to appeal to keen gardeners.

Curved lawns and herbaceous borders are filled with a variety of cottage garden perennials, roses, and attractive shrubs, alongside acers and magnolia that provide seasonal interest.

In one corner, a pretty gazebo offers an ideal place to enjoy a morning coffee, while a raised deck along the rear boundary makes the most of the views and evening sunsets.

Adjacent to the cottage, a lovely patio connects the conservatory and sitting room doors, creating a perfect space for summer entertaining.
