About
A deceptive, spacious and well-presented bungalow with attractive and surprisingly private gardens, tucked away in a small cul de sac within one of our most popular and accessible villages.
The Property - A spacious and most attractive detached bungalow that has undergone much improvement and is beautifully presented throughout including upgraded kitchen and bathrooms.
It lies in a small cul de sac of just four bungalows within one of our most popular villages, just a short drive from the pretty market town of Ilminster and within easy reach of excellent road links.
Accommodation - To the front of the property, the original storm porch has been enclosed with UPVC double-glazed doors, creating a practical covered entrance porch.
This opens into a spacious and welcoming hallway featuring a large double cupboard ideal for coats and everyday storage.
Attractive LVT flooring with a herringbone effect extends through many of the principal rooms, including the generous sitting room, where a bow window takes full advantage of the south-westerly aspect.
A real-flame LPG gas fire provides an attractive focal point.
Beyond the sitting room is a well-proportioned dining room, which in turn leads into a UPVC conservatory with an upgraded solid roof and delightful views over the garden.
The kitchen/breakfast room has been stylishly updated with contemporary white gloss cabinetry, granite worktops, and metro-style tiled splashbacks.
Integrated appliances include a dishwasher, double electric oven, LPG gas hob, and fridge freezer, while a central island provides an ideal space for informal dining and socialising.
The adjoining utility room is generously sized and offers space for both a washing machine and tumble dryer, together with a fitted wine cooler and additional sink.
A glazed stable-style door provides convenient access to the garden. The inner hallway benefits from extensive built-in storage, including a large cupboard and separate linen cupboard.
There are four bedrooms in total, including an exceptionally spacious principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a beautifully appointed en suite shower room.
Two further double bedrooms also feature fitted furniture and enjoy lovely views over the rear garden.
The fourth bedroom would make an excellent single bedroom or internal study, complementing the separate external home office/hobby room.
The family bathroom has a stylish monochrome theme and includes a freestanding bath and separate shower cubicle.
Outside - The property sits on a generously sized plot and benefits from an attractive block-paved driveway with ample turning space to the front.
This also provides access to the former double garage, which has been thoughtfully converted into two separate areas.
To one side is a single garage with a powered door, whilst at the rear it also accommodates the hot water cylinder and oil-fired boiler.
Adjoining this is a versatile hobby room/home office, accessed independently via double doors from the front garden, enjoying a pleasant outlook, plenty of natural light, and fitted furniture suitable for a variety of uses.
The gardens have been carefully landscaped, with mature shrubs providing year-round structure and seasonal colour.
Secure gates on both sides of the property lead to a wide gravelled area along the northern side, which includes the oil tank, timber garden shed, and water butt.
To the rear, the attractive enclosed garden features a block-paved seating area with a timber pergola, curved lawns bordered by paving, and well-stocked mature beds containing a selection of flowering shrubs, including Rhododendrons and a beautiful Magnolia.
Mature hedging softens the boundaries, creating a private and secure outdoor space. Situation - Horton lies adjacent to the village of Broadway and both villages have a good range of facilities.
Each village has a thriving pub and for families there are two playgrounds, a pre-school and the well respected Neroche Primary School in Broadway.
There is a post office in Horton, and a great range of clubs and societies including a thriving cricket club for those who like to get involved. There is also an NHS medical centre within Broadway.
The pretty market town of Ilminster lies just over 3 miles from the property and has a wonderful range of independent stores including award-winning butchers, delicatessen, cheese and dairy shop, and greengrocers as well as two town centre supermarkets for your everyday essentials.
The village lies within a short drive of excellent road links including the A303 / A30 to the west and the A358 connecting to the south coast and to the north the M5 at Taunton.
