24, West Street, Ilminster, TA19 9AB

An elegant period home of excellent proportions just a short walk from the pretty town centre facilities, with the added benefit of off road parking to the rear.

The Property Just a short walk from the pretty town centre, this lovely period home is offered for sale with no onward chain.

With its lovely ceiling heights, elegant proportions and character features it's the ideal home for someone looking for the charm of an older home with modern convenience.

Accommodation As you step through the original period railings that grace the frontage, a traditional front door welcomes you into an initial entrance vestibule with timber flooring, leading in turn into the hall.

The home boasts two elegant reception rooms of classic proportions.

The front sitting room features a feature fireplace and UPVC secondary glazing, preserving the original sash windows while adding insulation.

Adjacent, the dining room impresses with a striking timber and brick feature wall, flagstone flooring, and a decorative cast iron fireplace.

Clever built-in storage in an alcove and under the stairs adds practicality without compromising style.

The quirky galley kitchen is fitted with a range of modern units, topped with oak work surfaces, and includes an integrated fridge, gas hob, and electric oven.

A wall-mounted gas boiler provides heating and hot water. Beyond the kitchen, a contemporary bathroom offers an L-shaped bath with shower and glass screen, beautifully finished with neutral tiling.

With generous first-floor proportions, there may be potential to add a second bathroom upstairs (subject to consents), while still retaining three bedrooms-advice from professionals is encouraged if this is something you'd like to do.

Upstairs, the landing leads to two bright and spacious double bedrooms. The front bedroom is particularly impressive, with a stripped timber floor and walk-in wardrobe.

Original stairs lead to the second-floor attic bedroom, complete with a rear dormer window. This versatile space is also ideal as a playroom, additional living area, or home office.

Outside One of the great selling points about this property is the fact it benefits from its own off road parking located behind the house, with access historically off Pipers Alley on foot and by vehicle.

Large gates open to create an area of off road parking, with timber steps and slate paving slabs creating a terraced garden with ample room for outside dining and relaxation.
