Terraced house for sale in Ilminster TA19, 3 Bedroom

Opportunities to buy a property in need of tlc are getting scarce and this super little Victorian terrace house has lots of potential to offer you. Well placed for town and schools it's a nice project for someone who's handy to make a lovely character home with a nice size garden.

The Property
Steps lead up from the road through the small front garden and into a little storm porch with pretty Victorian patterned tiled walls. A modern double glazed front door opens into the entrance hall, a typically long hall with the stairs leading up in front of you. The two reception rooms have been historically knocked-through to create a better feeling of light and space but still retain the feeling of two rooms with two tiled art-deco style open fireplaces (currently boarded and not in use).

A double glazed square bay window overlooks the front, whilst an original sash window obtains borrowed light from the rear lean-to. There's a handy walk-in understairs storage cupboard to the dining area, and a door leads through to the kitchen where there's a sink unit, cupboards and space for an electric cooker, as well as a walk in larder. The lean-to opens to the garden via UPVC double glazed door with a window to the side, there's a polycarbonate roof and water connected. There is also a downstairs WC.

On the first floor there is a typically good size main bedroom across the front with two UPVC windows enjoying the afternoon and evening light. In the middle is a smaller double room, whilst at the rear the bedroom has long ago been split to create a separate bathroom. This has a bath, wash hand basin and airing cupboard housing the hot water cylinder, whilst beyond is a small single bedroom which would make the perfect nursery or study and looks out over the back garden.

Outside
To the front is a small front garden with steps leading up to the front door. At the rear is a long garden slightly elevated from the house with a pathway leading up to one side. It is laid partially to lawn with a further section currently uncultivated at the top. There's lots of potential for keen gardeners to make it their own. Across the back of the terrace is a pedestrian right of way for the neighbouring properties, and similarly this property has the benefit of a right of way across the neighbouring properties to the end of the terrace.

Listers Hill is located just off the town centre and a walk down the hill takes you into town. The doctors' surgeries are located not far away off of Canal Way, and there is good access for dog walking via local footpaths and the Chard – Ilminster cycle path. The first and middle schools are both within walking distance as is the recreation ground.

The local stores are mostly centred around the market square and 15th century Minster church and have everything you need from an excellent butchers and delicatessen, cheese and dairy shop, homewares and antiques stores, clothes boutiques and gift shops. The town is also well served by a town-centre Tesco store with ample free parking just a short walk from the town centre. Alongside the supermarket is a bowls club and tennis club. There is also a town library. Ilminster Arts centre is a vibrant arts venue with licensed cafe. There are plenty of other places to eat too, including pubs, restaurants, cafe's and takeaways. The town has several hairdressers / beauty salons and a dental surgery. Ilminster is arguably one of South-Somerset's prettiest market towns and benefits from superb road links via the A303 and A358.
