A wonderful opportunity to acquire this large 4 bedroom detached home with plenty of parking, detached garage, south-facing garden and situated close to excellent amenities and communication links.


A delightful and welcoming four bedroom detached home, close to communication links with off-road parking, large detached garage and south-facing gardens. In brief the property comprises an entrance hall, lounge, sitting room, dining room, kitchen, utility and WC to the ground floor, two bedrooms and a family bathroom to the first floor and another two bedrooms to the second floor. This home has been the pride and joy of its current owner for circa 40 years, testament to what a wonderful home it has been. With almost 1,800 sq ft of accommodation, Ferndale has that unique trait of being incredibly spacious whilst retaining a real sense of comfort and intimacy. The large kitchen is well fitted, light and has ample space for a breakfast table – ideal for socialising with family and friends. It leads directly into the utility room which in turn has direct access outside. The heart of the home are the two reception rooms which are currently set up to be a sitting room and dining room. The dining room will appeal to those who enjoy formal entertaining whilst the sitting room is a great space to enjoy all year round but particularly during the colder months, thanks to an open fire. If that were not enough, there is a further reception room which could be utilised as a play room, bedroom, further sitting room or studio. Ultimately, all the reception rooms are interchangeable which provides a huge amount of versatility and flexibility to a potential buyer. The two bedrooms to the first floor are both generous doubles and there is obvious scope to create an ensuite given the magnitude of the bathroom. There are a further two bedrooms to the second floor which can both accommodate double bedrooms. It should also be noted that the garage could be utilised as studio, gym, workshop or, given the necessary consents, the possibility of annex. This tremendous family home will suit families and those looking to be in a convenient location in the medieval market town of Ilminster.
