Trotts Lane, Horton, Ilminster

If you are looking for a new home that is up to date and ready to go then this is the place for you. This is one of two individual detached 3 bed properties with pretty gardens and double carport/garage, set in the sought after village of Horton with nearby village of Broadway a short walk away. Lovely location ready to move into

The Property - Built as one of just two new-build properties sold with the benefit of a Pro-tek warranty, this lovely detached home is ideal for those looking to relocate or downsize to a no-hassle home with modern efficiency and style both inside and out. Whilst inside you have the benefit of built-in kitchen appliances, tasteful flooring already included, air source heat pump and underfloor heating to the ground floor, on the outside this is complemented by a double carport / garaging to the rear and individual lawned gardens with scope for a keen gardener to make it their own.

A spacious storm porch of brick and timber gives shelter at the front, where a cottage style front door with leaded panel opens into a central hallway. The property has been newly fitted with neutral coloured carpets which complement the oak doors perfectly. The hall includes a walk-in cupboard that houses the hot water system and manifold for the underfloor heating but also provides some scope for storage if required. To one side a light and airy dual-aspect sitting room makes the most of the southerly facing aspect at the front, and opens directly onto the garden via sliding patio doors at the rear. Across the hall the attractive fitted kitchen / dining room has been well thought-out with a range of contemporary sage green fitted units including floor and wall mounted storage cupboards and drawers with gloss finish white work surfaces with silver flecks over incorporating one and half bowl single drainer composite sink with mixer tap, integrated dishwasher, induction hob with stainless steel cooker hood and two electric built-in ovens side by side. The ample work-surface is ideal for a keen cook but also doubles as an optional breakfast bar, whilst there is also room for a dining table beyond. A separate utility room at the rear gives you further worktop space and space for your washing machine as well as further under-counter space perhaps for storage or an extra appliance. There is a handy downstairs cloakroom to one side.

First Floor - On the first floor, the bright landing area leads to the first floor rooms including a naturally-lit bathroom with window to the rear and contemporary white suite including panelled bath with dual head shower over, concealed cistern WC and vanity wash hand basin, all in white gloss finish, complemented by a chrome ladder style towel radiator. There are three double bedrooms, the master bedroom being a particularly good size with adjoining en suite shower room. Again, this is attractively fitted with generous double shower cubicle finished with grey stone contemporary tiling, WC and vanity wash hand basin with storage.

The properties have underfloor heating on the ground floor giving you more flexibility for furniture layout and a lovely even daytime background heat, whilst there are radiators on the first floor. The heating is provided by an air source heat pump, and can be controlled by a smart-phone app if you prefer.

Outside - To the left of the property a shared driveway area leads down to a turning area for these two new properties only, which in turn gives access to the double carport / garaging. Both are open fronted and provide parking and storage options, whilst one is open to the rear providing easy direct access to the garden. The second garage is timber clad on three sides and includes external power points and light. The vendors have obtained quotes for a roller-shutter door on the enclosed carport if prospective buyers would like to consider that option.

The rear garden is laid to lawn, gently sloping down to the double carport behind and with a pleasant patio at the rear of the house. Steps lead down to a gravelled area at the rear of the carports ideal for a BBQ etc. At the front.......

Situation - The property is situated in a pleasant 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 an NHS 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.
