Whether you're a self-confessed petrol-head or simply have hobbies that need lots of room this super low-maintenance bungalow offers much more than initially meets the eye. With a range of three double garages and a pretty south-facing garden, it's well worth viewing.
The Property
The property has undergone much improvement by the current owners and offers the chance to purchase a property all on one single level with light and bright living space with not too much ongoing maintenance to worry about.
The bungalow itself is slightly screened from the road by fencing with an attractive border and gateway leading to the front door. The front doors opens into an entrance hall with lots of handy storage. There are two built in cupboards for coats etc, and a further cloaks cupboard with double doors. Laminate flooring and recessed downlighters to the ceiling give a modern feel.
The hallway opens into a good size sitting room with a continuation of the laminate flooring. A UPVC double glazed window to the front lets in the morning sun, whilst French doors open into a substantial UPVC conservatory. This has triple aspect windows and French doors to the garden. Two radiators and fitted blinds make this a usable space all year round, and the current owners very much use it as a second living / dining room.
Also, off the hall a door opens to the attractively fitted kitchen / breakfast room. Recently refurbished it is fitted with a range of cream gloss cupboards incorporating a full height pull-out larder unit, and plenty of pan / crockery drawers as well as a stainless steel one and half bowl sink unit. There's an integrated double oven and lpg gas hob. Cream metro tiling gives a fresh retro feel to the kitchen and the neutral colour scheme means you can add your own pop of colour with accessories. A breakfast bar to one side is handy extra spot to sit with your morning cuppa. There's also a further built-in storage cupboard for other necessities.
Beyond the kitchen, is a further large sun room which runs across the rear of the bungalow. An excellent spot to sit and enjoy the afternoon sunshine, bi-fold windows open up in the warmer months to allow a lovely open outlook across the field behind. This is a lovely spot to sit and relax, and a great spot for a second TV! To one corner is a useful Utility Area with useful extra storage cupboards and work surfaces, space and plumbing for your washing machine, an extra stainless steel sink and the wall mounted lpg gas boiler to one side. Adjacent to the Utility Area is a further door to a side lobby leading out to the garden which houses the lpg gas bottles.
From the hallway, further modern white doors open into the two double bedrooms, whilst the shower-room has been modernised into a user-friendly and accessible Wet Room with integral shower area, floor drain and Triton shower, alongside a modern white suite of vanity wash hand basin and WC.
Outside
The rear conservatory opens into a side passageway perfect to hold your recycling boxes etc, with a further outside tap and double glazed door opening to the front path. From here a doorway opens into the excellent range of garaging which extends across the remaining width of the plot. They are effectively three interconnecting double garages, the first with a workshop area to one side and all with power and light. They have up and over doors to the front and a block paved driveway providing access to each garage.
The main garden is located to one side of the bungalow with easy access from both conservatories. Alternatively a side gate by the front door opens into the garden, which has been nicely landscaped with lower maintenance in mind. An artificial lawn gives a neat tidy finish all year round, and flower borders to the side are edged with pebbled areas. There is a further outside tap. The gardens are enclosed by stone wall, trellis and fencing with climbing plants to soften the edges.
Westport is a small village to the north of Ilminster conveniently located on the road towards Curry Rivel / Langport and not far from the pretty village of Barrington with its renowned National Trust property Barrington Court. There is a range of artisan workshops, second hand book store, café / restaurant, gift shop and lots of lovely spaces to enjoy the peace and quiet over a picnic perhaps. There is a super network of public footpaths criss-crossing the estate and village, excellent for dog-walking.
The Barrington Boar is a very well-respected pub with rooms and excellent food, and is just a short walk from the property. There is a thriving community spirit at Barrington with lots of things to get involved with should you wish. The village hall is very much a hub for activities and events, which include Community Coffee mornings, a Local Produce Market, Gardening club, Choral society, Amateur dramatics group (The Barrington Players), Pilates, Zumba and Yoga, Historical dance, Table Tennis and Bridge. There really is something for everyone.
The neighbouring village of Hambridge benefits from a well respected primary school, village hall with a thriving range of clubs and societies as well as a popular pub "The Lamb and Lion".
For keen walkers there are lots of local footpaths to enjoy, some of which run alongside the historic Wesport Canal (disused since the late 1800's) but with the chance to glimpse wildlife including kingfishers and otters.
