Rod Lane, Ilton, Ilminster, Somerset, TA19

Our team at GTH have been given the rare opportunity of marketing this remarkable, highly versatile and divinely presented four/five bedroom detached chalet bungalow in grounds of almost half an acre with parking, double garage and situated on an exclusive no-through road in the popular village of Ilton.


A spectacular, extended and exquisitely finished four bedroom detached chalet bungalow occupying almost half an acre of stunning gardens along with a detached garage and situated on a no-through road in the popular village of Ilton. In brief the property comprises an entrance hall, study, shower room, utility, two bedrooms, kitchen/dining room and sitting room to the ground floor with two bedrooms (one ensuite), family bathroom and versatile loft space to the first floor. Green Acre has been transformed by the current owner to create contemporary, open-plan living with quality and style at every turn. The stunning kitchen/dining room is a fabulous space to host and entertain with views to the garden, direct access outside and beautifully appointed units and central island. The sitting room is bright and airy with French doors leading out onto alfresco dining area. It also has the luxury of a wood-burner which provides a lovely focal point and practical source of warmth. The designated study will appeal to those who need to work from home and would work equally well as a further bedroom or reception room. Both bedrooms to the ground floor are good-size doubles and are found to the rear of the property. The triple aspect and noticeably spacious master bedroom can be found to first floor and takes in views over the garden as well as having the benefit of its own ensuite. The remaining bedroom is still large enough to accommodate a double bed and has further access into the loft. The loft space is great for storage and discerning buyers will also appreciate its further potential. All the bedrooms are serviced by the shower room to the ground floor and family bathroom to the first floor which has dual basins, free-standing bath and separate shower. Those looking to create extra accommodation for guests and/or as a possible income stream need look no further than the detached double garage which, subject to planning, could be converted into an annexe. Green Acre is an extraordinary home with huge scope and versatility and whether its multi-generational living, those needing single-storey living or those who simply want their dream escape to the country, there a few that match all this sumptuous home has to offer.

Ilton is a convenient village just a few minutes’ drive from Ilminster, which offers day to day amenities including a range of independent shops and supermarkets and is also well placed for road links via the A358 to the A303, A30 and M5. The village itself benefits from facilities including a pre-school and primary school, cricket pitch, public house, village hall and riding stables / livery yard. Taunton (9 miles) the County Town, provides a comprehensive range of recreational, scholastic and shopping facilities, as well as a main line railway station (Paddington line). Yeovil and Crewkerne (with its Waitrose supermarket) lie within a similar distance and also have main line railway stations (Waterloo line).

The property is approached by a private driveway giving access to off-road parking for a number of vehicles and the detached double garage. Green Acre sits within its own grounds of circa half an acre. To the front is a beguiling wild garden which has been cleverly landscaped to create a private and sunny eating area as well as encouraging nature to thrive. The formal garden can be found to the rear and is laid to manicured lawns, raised beds and further complemented by an abundance of shrubs and flora along with a greenhouse. It’s the most idyllic and enchanting setting for keen gardeners, alfresco dining, entertaining and family life. It is difficult to express what a joyous lifestyle the outside space at Green Acre offers and therefore it must be viewed to fully appreciate.
