Eames Orchard, Ilminster

The ideal "doer-upper" for those looking for a family-size home with a dose of potential - a surprisingly roomy layout offers you three double bedrooms including a master with en suite, and an unusually good size plot tucked away in a sought-after cul de sac.

The Property - This property has a great deal of potential and is tucked away in a sought-after cul de sac lying within half a mile of the pretty town centre, but also close enough to the edge of town to lie within reach of lovely countryside footpaths. If you're looking for something you can put your own stamp on, room by room, this would make an ideal project and gives you the chance to buy a good home with family-friendly layout. Not only are there three good size bedrooms (no argument about who has to have the box room!) but the added benefit of an en suite shower room will no doubt make mornings easier too.

On the ground floor the entrance hall includes a handy downstairs WC and built in cupboard for coats. There are no stairs in the hall, as they lead up from the well-proportioned living room at the back which also opens onto the rear garden via french doors and has a great south-westerly outlook over the town making this room a light and sunny place to be. At the front, the addition of a bay window to the kitchen makes it roomy enough for a table. The current units incorporate space for an electric cooker, space for a fridge for your washing machine, whilst the worktops include a stainless steel sink unit.

First Floor - The landing provides access to the loft space and doors open to three good size bedrooms including a master with en suite shower room, and a family bathroom which is currently fitted with the original coloured suite including panelled bath, WC and wash hand basin.

Outside - The house lies in a slightly elevated position, with paved steps and metal ballustrade leading down into the rear garden from the living room. The unusual shape of the garden gives a keen gardener scope to create a really fabulous and sunny garden either for entertaining or growing your own with the second part of the garden along the northern boundary providing a useful access path without coming through the house. The garden nearest the house is laid to patio with shrubs and raised beds, whilst part is currently uncultivated.

The garage is located in a block nearby, just a short distance from the front door. It has an up and over door and parking to the front. It also owns a proportion of the driveway / turning area adjacent.

Situation - The property overlooks the town, set back off the road in a cul-de-sac location. It lies approximately half a mile from the heart of the community, where there’s a wide variety of independent stores. These are mostly centred around the market square and 15th century Minster church and have everything you need from an award-winning butchers, delicatessen, cheese and dairy shop, homewares, antiques stores, clothes boutiques and gift shops. Ilminster is also well served by a town-centre Tesco store with ample free parking. Alongside is a bowls club and tennis club and close-by a town library. Ilminster Arts Centre is a vibrant arts venue with licensed café and there are plenty of other places to eat too, including pubs, cafes, restaurants and take-aways. The town also benefits from several hairdressers / beauty salons and a dental surgery as well as modern health centre on the southern side of the town with two doctors' surgeries.

Ilminster is arguably one of South-Somerset's prettiest market towns and has everything you need for day to day living on your doorstep. Should you need to go further afield it benefits from superb road links via the A303 and A358.
