Broadway, Ilminster, Somerset, TA19

An attractive detached period house with beautiful gardens in a highly regarded village.

Approached via wooden gates off Olivers Lane, Oliver House has a pretty, symmetrical façade with a mature wisteria. The front driveway provides ample off-street parking, while the beautifully maintained, south-facing front garden is mainly laid to lawn with mature shrubs. A tall hedge on the front boundary provides privacy making this is a lovely spot to enjoy the sunshine.

Inside, the house is immaculately presented with well-proportioned rooms filled with natural light. The front door opens into a spacious reception room currently arranged as a sitting/dining room, enjoying views across both front and rear gardens. This welcoming space features a wood-burning stove with a Ham stone surround, a large storage cupboard, and French doors leading out to the rear lawn.

An additional sitting/drawing room offers further reception space, complete with built-in storage and a wood-burning stove with stone surround – perfect for cosy evenings. To the other end of the property, the stylishly appointed kitchen is fitted with flat-panelled units, granite worktops, and a dual-fuel range cooker. Adjacent is a utility/boot room with a sink, wine cooler, and space for laundry appliances. A stable door leads to a covered walkway that connects to a useful shed. A ground-floor cloakroom with a shower completes the downstairs accommodation.

Upstairs, there are four beautifully presented bedrooms, the highlight being the principal bedroom with its own dressing room and en suite bathroom with freestanding bath and large walk-in shower. This space was created by the current owners by adding a second storey above the kitchen and utility room. A family bathroom with a rolltop bath and separate shower serves the remaining bedrooms.


Gardens & Grounds

Outside, in addition to the front garden, there is a delightful rear garden, which is predominantly laid to lawn with flower borders, raised beds and a small pond. A charming summer house and patio provide ideal areas to enjoy the sun. Other outbuildings include an attached garage – previously used as part of the house – a further detached garage/workshop, log store, and a greenhouse. At the end of the rear garden there is a secondary access point from Olivers Lane through double gates, conveniently offering further parking.
