Ashill is a small South Somerset village with local amenities which include Parish Church and Primary School. The village has been by-passed and is now several hundred yards from the A358 Taunton to Ilminster road. Ilminster 4 miles, Taunton 8, Chard 8 miles, South Coast 22 miles. Taunton is easily accessible via the A358 and is renowned for its extensive shopping, educational, sporting and cultural facilities along with access to the M5 motorway at Junction 25 and a mainline Intercity rail link from Taunton Railway Station. The nearby towns of both Ilminster and Langport area also easily accessible.

The outside space equates to nearly a quarter of an acre and is compartmentalised into two defined areas. The first is a pretty garden found to the left and rear of the cottage laid to lawn, patio, mature shrubs and colourful flora. It’s a lovely setting for sitting out in the warmer months. The remaining grounds are detached from the main residence and take in a linear strip laid to trees with two garden sheds and a double garage. For those that like the idea of keeping chickens or bees or simply a versatile space in which to enjoy, it will prove a very attractive proposition. For the discerning buyer, there is the very real possibility (stpp) of creating an additional residence in the parcel of land and we would strongly recommend viewings to appreciate the potential.
