Detached house for sale in Ilminster TA19, 4 Bedroom

A light and spacious four bedroom contemporary home striking the balance between modern convenience and individual design. On the very edge of town with views over the countryside, it very much offers the best of both worlds.

The Property
Great design and attractive styling give this home a great feel from the off. A fully glazed front door with full height glazed panel above and to the sides lets light flood into the hall and galleried landing above. Oak flooring gives a homely but practical finish and this extends through to the reception rooms. An understairs cupboard offers hanging space for coats, and an attractive turning staircase leads up to the first floor.

Double doors open through to a versatile kitchen / living space in which you could spend much of your day. French doors open out onto an outdoor dining area perfect to spill out onto for al fresco entertaining, whilst they also let in plenty of natural light and views of the fields beyond. This is the sort of room that becomes the hub of a home with room for a large dining table, easy chairs or a sofa. The kitchen has been refitted with an attractive range of units in a neutral Oyster shade . These incorporate an integrated dishwasher, neff double electric oven, gas hob with cooker hood over, and integrated fridge. The kitchen area is delineated by a change in flooring and a door leads through to the utility room. There's room here for a further fridge / freezer. Complimentary storage cupboards and worktops incorporate a further stainless steel sink unit and space for your washing machine. A handy internal door leads to the integral garage as well as back door to the garden / drying area. There is a cloakroom with WC and wash hand basin to one side.

From the hall, a further door opens into a spacious sitting room with modern stone open fireplace to give you the option of a cosy glow in the cooler months. The property benefits from full gas central heating and double glazing throughout. The oak flooring extends through into the generous formal dining room, both rooms having views over the garden and enjoying the afternoon sun. If you prefer to have your main table in the kitchen, this room would also be an excellent family room. A super conservatory runs across the rear of the house, with French doors opening both to the main rear garden and the patio / seating area, ideal for entertaining. The conservatory affords lovely views of the fields 365 days a year, and is light and airy with its limewashed effect ceramic tiled floor, triple aspect windows and polycarbonate roof.

On the first floor the galleried landing steps up to the main landing. An airing cupboard houses the wall mounted gas boiler. The master suite is located to one side of the property and is tastefully presented with dual aspect dormer windows and an exposed ceiling beam giving character. A range of built in wardrobes have mirrored sliding doors. The en-suite is spacious with a further velux window to the rear. Travertine effect ceramic tiling compliments the modern suite with fitted bathroom units incorporating a concealed cistern WC and wash hand basin. A p-shaped bath has a mains shower over. The family bathroom is similarly styled with neutral stone effect tiling and contemporary white suite including bath and shower over. This serves three further bedrooms, two doubles (the second bedroom is a generous double room) and a good size single room which may also take a double. The bedrooms all enjoy a pleasant view over the garden and fields.

Outside
A gravelled driveway provides parking and access to the integral single garage. There's a handy outside tap and a paved pathway leads up to the front door flanked with Japanese acers and herbaceous borders. The gardens wrap around the house, with a private paved seating area at the rear overlooking the fields, a timber garden shed for storage and further outside tap. The rear garden is very much a feature of the property. It has been lovingly landscaped into what can best be described as an outdoor extension of the accommodation. A substantial circular stone seating area is covered by a pergola and overlooks the rest of the garden with its curved lawns and well-tended borders. These include further acers, flowering shrubs and perennials, underplanted with spring bulbs. To one side is a pebble water feature and a useful outside power point. A gate at the side of the garden leading around to the front. The rear garden enjoys a south-westerly aspect.
