Pound Road, Horton, Ilminster

A substantial four double bedroom, three reception room family-size home set in 0.24 acres, tucked away in one of our most popular and accessible villages.

The Property - The substantial and attractive detached house dates from the 1970's and was built to an individual style with mullion leaded windows and a practical family-friendly layout. Set almost in the middle of its generous 0.24 acre plot, the design allows for a good amount of driveway space and front garden, with a practical open carport giving direct access into the house. Whilst at the rear is a good size garden getting plenty of sunshine in fine weather and large enough for green-fingered buyers or families whilst being not too labour intensive. It has been a much loved family home for 30 years and benefits from modernised kitchen and bathrooms, whilst still offering scope for a new owner to extend or make their own mark.

From the front, the storm porch opens into a generous entrance hall with a light and open feel. It still boasts its attractive original parquet flooring and has a useful cupboard for coats, as well as handy access to the integral carport perfect for shopping days. To one side of the hall is a dual aspect sitting room with woodburning stove, whilst adjacent is a separate formal dining room with a real oak floor, opening onto the garden via French doors. To the front is a further separate family room or snug also with woodburning stove, ideal for families, if you work from home or need space for that indoor hobby. The kitchen / breakfast room overlooks the rear garden and is fitted with a modern cream gloss kitchen including floor and wall mounted storage cupboards and drawers, with pull out larder style unit, neutral worktops and white sink unit. There is space for your own dishwasher, and a built-in electric hob and double oven. It's a sociable size with ample room for a good size table and even further freestanding furniture such as a dresser. The adjoining utility room houses space for your washing machine as well as housing the oil fired central heating boiler and a handy extra sink and opens onto the garden. A further door opens into the carport, with its adjoining store room, giving lots of extra storage space and access from the rear garden.

First Floor - The light and bright first floor landing leads to four double bedrooms including a master suite and good size family bathroom, as well as a useful walk-in internal study space / store. There is also a good size walk-in airing / linen cupboard. The main bedroom is a generous double aspect room with en suite shower room and a range of light birch effect fitted bedroom furniture. Two further double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes overlook the rear garden with an additional double bedroom at the front. The family bathroom has been attractively fitted with a white suite including panelled bath and separate shower cubicle set off with neutral stone effect tiling giving a modern feel.

Outside - To the front a gravelled driveway provides ample turning and parking space for several vehicles, edged with lawned gardens and two small ponds. The driveway also provides access to the integral double carport, with its two doors leading into the house, and large store room behind. There is also a small cellar, accessed via a door from the driveway. The rear store room leads through to the garden which has a sunny aspect and is mostly laid to lawn with large hardstanding closest to the house. There is ample room for further extension subject to any necessary consents and alterations. There is also a further storage shed at the rear with oil tank beyond.

Situation - The property is situated in a very quiet tucked-away position within Horton which also lies adjacent to the village of Broadway. Both Horton and Broadway have a range of village 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 various parish churches of different denominations locally. The combined villages have a great range of clubs and societies including a thriving cricket club for those who like to get involved in the community. There is also a 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.
