Church Lane, Horton, Ilminster, Somerset, TA19

A rare opportunity to acquire this 4 bedroom detached chalet bungalow with parking and a garage in grounds approaching a third of an acre and situated in a prime spot in Church Lane in the ever popular village of Horton.


A deceptively spacious and exclusively positioned 4 bedroom detached chalet bungalow with extended accommodation, garage, parking and set in grounds of a third of an acre. In brief the property comprises an entrance hall, two bedrooms, study, sitting room, kitchen/family/breakfast room, family bathroom and WC to the ground floor and two further bedrooms to the first floor. Sunnybank has been lovingly maintained by its current owners to provide welcoming accommodation throughout. The star of the show is the most magnificent, extended kitchen/dining/family room which is the heart of the home and a wonderful setting for parties, entertaining and socialising with family and friends. It is incredibly well-equipped and has more than enough room for a sitting room area and dining room space. The formal sitting room is perfect for relaxing and unwinding and leads directly into the study/hobby room with French doors leading out to the terrace, seamlessly uniting inside with out. There are also two generous double bedrooms which are serviced by the family bathroom with the advantage of a separate shower. To the first floor are two further double bedrooms. With nearly 1,700 sq ft of accommodation, there’s ample space to accommodate guests whilst those looking for single storey living will appreciate the flexibility and scope Sunnybank has to offer. We would strongly recommend families, retirees and those simple wanting to embrace idyllic village life to view.

Horton together with its sister village of Broadway form a very active community with facilities which include a Post Office/stores, local primary school, doctors surgery, village halls, churches and two popular pubs. To the south west lie the Blackdown Hills designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty providing excellent opportunities for those with country interests. The larger busy market town of Ilminster lies less than three miles to the east, providing a range of facilities fulfilling most day to day needs. With the A303 and its connections to the M5 only one mile away Horton is well placed for the larger County town of Taunton 10 miles with its comprehensive facilities, including shops, schools within both the state and independent sectors, county cricket ground, race course and mainline station (London Paddington), Chard 5 miles, Axminster and Crewkerne with mainline stations (London Waterloo) 9 miles, Yeovil 15 miles and the South Coast 18 miles.

The property is approached by a sweeping driveway giving access to plenty of off-road a parking and the detached garage. There is an attractive front garden laid to lawn with a pathway leading to the main entrance as well as two patio areas with seating. To the rear a further area of lawn can be found which is further complemented by mature shrubs, colourful flora, trees and a garden shed. In addition to this is a lovely, mediterranean terraced garden – ideal for alfresco dining and entertaining. It is noticeably private and will appeal to keen gardeners and those who enjoy sitting out through the warmer months.
