Blackdown View, Ilminster

A great family home with sunny rear garden, tucked away in a popular spot not far from both the town centre and open countryside.

The Dwelling - Nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac north of the town centre, this traditional home offers a convenient location within walking distance to the town and nearby open countryside. Featuring a sunny garden, far reaching views, and parking to the front, it is an ideal choice for first-time or repeat buyers seeking a spacious family home that "ticks lots of boxes". Additionally, those who work from home or require space for hobbies will find the extra home office/outbuilding at the rear a valuable asset. There's also potential to extend further and make it your own.

Accommodation - Originally designed with families in mind, the layout includes good proportions and plenty of storage throughout. The entrance hall includes an understairs cupboard, and leads through to an L-shaped living / dining room with french door opening out onto the rear garden on the south side. Although the current gas fire is not in use, the chimney breast offers scope for a replacement or perhaps the addition of a woodburner subject to the necessary consents. The kitchen also enjoys the lovely light aspect and views to the rear, and is fitted with a range of modern grey gloss units and practical porcelain floor tiles. The electric hob and oven are integrated, including the cooker hood above. A walk in larder cupboard under the stairs provides more handy storage and also houses the gas boiler. A rear lobby leads to the garden, and a useful downstairs WC, whilst beyond is a separate utility room with extra sink and plumbing for both your washing machine and tumble dryer. Upstairs are three good size bedrooms, the two largest making the most of the lovely views, and a bathroom with white suite.

Outside - The front garden has been laid to hardstanding to provide parking and a shared pathway leads down the steps giving access to the front door and also through the shared passageway to the rear. A door within the passageway opens through to the rear lobby providing access to the rear garden. Designed to make the most of the sunny aspect, a patio extends across the rear of the house. There is also an outside tap. The external store has been converted into a home office / hobby space. Beyond is a lawned garden with borders and a timber shed. There is also a small wildlife pond.

Situation - Tucked away on the northern edge of the town, the property lies away from busy traffic in a mature residential area. A short walk along the public footpaths takes you down into the town centre. As well as public footpaths in the local area, the Dillington Estate offers several kilometres of permissive footpaths, making this an ideal location for dog walkers.

Blackdown View lies approximately quarter of 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, and take-aways.
