Detached house for sale in Ilminster TA19, 4 Bedroom

Spacious both inside and out - the perfect village home to suit a growing family perhaps, with superb ground floor living space and generous bedrooms too. Set in a plot of just under a quarter of an acre there's ample room to play and even apple trees for your Sunday crumble!

The Property
There's no doubt that this property offers far more than initially meets the eye. Originally a double fronted cottage probably dating from the turn of the century it has been substantially extended over the years to create a very spacious home with great room sizes throughout. The generous garden will no doubt suit a family, but even if you're downsizing you will appreciate there's so much room to entertain and accommodate visitors.

On the ground floor, from the front hall you are greeted by a good size reception room that the current owners currently use as a formal dining room. The addition of a period cast iron fireplace gives the room a nice bit of character and is fully functioning. Beyond the dining room is the real hub of this home – a super sociable eat-in family kitchen / dining space with ample room for a large table and neutral modern storage cupboards and drawers with work surfaces over incorporating stainless steel sink unit, built in electric oven and hob. There's space and plumbing for a dishwasher and no shortage of storage space! A lovely traditional walk-in pantry cupboard to one corner has room for a multitude of things, whilst there's a further handy understairs storage cupboard. Yet another walk-in cupboard houses the oil fired boiler for central heating and hot water. The hard-wearing tiled flooring throughout the kitchen is ideal for two and four legged friends, whilst beyond is a useful utility room with extra plumbing for your washing machine. A separate downstairs WC is handy for the back door.

Beyond the kitchen is a lovely size sitting room, again with period cast iron fireplace in working order. The real tour de force of this property though is the fabulous family room, an extension to the south side of the property giving you a large extra reception room and the sort of room you would no doubt spend much of your time in. The open vaulted ceiling and large windows give a great feeling of space, and French doors let you spill out onto the garden in the warmer months. There's a separate study too, which is a nice size and would make a great play room, home office or even an extra ground floor bedroom should you need it.

On the first floor there are two particularly spacious front bedrooms. The largest has a built-in wardrobe and the second bedroom (currently used as the master bedroom) has a lovely view of the countryside to the side aspect as well as a walk-in wardrobe and overstairs cupboard. Both rooms have plenty of space to create en-suite facilities subject to the necessary consents and alterations. The third bedroom is also a double room, whilst the fourth bedroom is a good size single.

The family bathroom is attractively tiled and nicely fitted with a white suite including a bath and separate shower cubicle with power shower. There is also electric underfloor heating for extra warmth.

The loft is accessed via a hatch on the landing with pull-down ladder, and is boarded for storage as well as having lights connected.

Outside
The property sits at the front of its plot which totals just under a quarter of an acre. It sits in a slightly elevated position from the village road so enjoys a pleasant aspect to the south over the neighbouring rooftops to the countryside beyond. The property does have a predominantly level plot with the gardens mainly laid to lawn – perfect for a family or a blank canvas for you to make your own. The garden has its own secure and covered working well, set up with an electric pump for easy and thrifty watering of the garden or washing of your car. The driveway provides ample parking for several cars. At the bottom of the garden is a row of mature apple trees, both dessert and culinary varieties to suit the home cook, and an ornamental cherry tree.
