Silver Street, Ilminster, Somerset, TA19

A fantastic opportunity to purchase this deceptively spacious 3 bedroom mid-terrace cottage with enclosed rear garden situated a stone’s throw from the town centre.


We are delighted to offer this light and deceptively spacious 3 bedroom mid-terrace cottage close to the town centre with enclosed walled garden. In brief the property comprises entrance hallway, living room, dining room, kitchen and storage room to the ground floor with 3 bedrooms and family bathroom to the first floor. On entering the cottage the hallway leads to the open living room and dining room which could easily be amalgamated as one large living space or kept separate as is. There is a fireplace, currently with gas insert, that could easily be opened for a log burner or open fire to add more character. The kitchen sits to the rear of the property with views over the private courtyard garden and has a range of painted wooden wall and floor cupboards with integrated fridge and freestanding washing machine and cooker. Between the kitchen and garden is a covered lean-to area suitable for additional storage or workspace. Upstairs there are 2 double bedrooms and 1 single, all serviced by the family bathroom with large shower cubicle, sink and WC. In addition there is an airing cupboard with radiator, also housing the gas boiler for servicing hot water and central heating. It is worth noting the cottage has been recently fitted with new carpet throughout.

Surrounded by undulating open countryside designated a Special Landscape area, the majority of the town falls within a Conservation Area with many character properties built of the local mellow Hamstone. The ancient Minster dominates the centre of the town. Ilminster offers a full range of amenities including doctors, dentist, shopping facilities and weekly market. The town also benefits from an arts centre and theatre. There is schooling at primary and intermediate levels and churches of various denominations. Ilminster has convenient road access to both the M5, junction 25 lies 11 miles to the north-west and to the A303, now dual carriageway most of the way to the M3. Mainline railway stations are situated at Crewkerne 7 miles (London Waterloo) and Taunton 13 miles (London Paddington). Berrys coaches offer a service to London twice a day. Bath, Bristol and Exeter offer excellent cultural and shopping facilities within easy travelling distance. The World Heritage designated coastline lies 18 miles to the South.

To the rear there are a few steps leading up to a terraced area surrounded by shrubs and flower borders and at the top of the garden there is a paved patio area, perfect for enjoying a drink or meal in the evening sun, with a large storage shed to the side.
