We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
A wonderfully presented, period house dating to C.1900, offering generously proportioned rooms, a level West facing garden and the rare benefit of off street parking.
Situated on the ever-popular New Road in Ilminster, this beautifully presented period home combines character, space and practicality, whilst enjoying far-reaching south-west facing views and the rare advantage of off-road parking to the rear beneath an archway access.
Sympathetically updated by the current owners over the last few years, the property retains much of its original charm while benefiting from modern improvements, including a recently installed boiler, double glazed windows and the addition of central heating to the top floor accommodation, creating a comfortable and energy-efficient home throughout.
The accommodation is arranged over three floors and offers generous, versatile living space.
On the ground floor, a welcoming entrance hallway leads through to an elegant sitting room, featuring a bay window and attractive period styling.
To the rear, a separate dining room provides an ideal space for entertaining and enjoys views over the garden.
The well-appointed kitchen has a range of shaker-style units, ample work surfaces and space for appliances, creating a practical and attractive heart of the home.
A rear utility and downstairs WC offer practicality and access to the rear garden and finalise the ground floor accommodation.
The first floor provides two spacious double bedrooms, the master bedroom had previously divided into two rooms, and this could easily be put back again to create a 4th bedroom if needed.
A stylish family bathroom fitted with a contemporary white suite and separate shower enclosure.
A further staircase leads to the impressive top floor bedroom, a bright and spacious room now benefiting from central heating and offering flexibility as a principal bedroom, guest suite or home office.

The town also benefits from an arts centre and theatre. There is schooling at primary and intermediate levels and churches of various denominations.
Ilminster has convenient road access to both the M5, junction 25 lies 11 miles to the north-west and to the A303, now dual carriageway most of the way to the M3.
