Stocklinch, Ilminster

A light, bright and spacious bungalow set in just over a quarter of an acre of level grounds with far reaching westerly views in a pleasantly rural, yet accessible location.

The Property - Spacious enough for a family yet versatile for those hosting guests or pursuing hobbies, this impressive single-storey home combines generous proportions with a sociable layout ideal for entertaining and remote working. Set within sizeable, sunny gardens that enjoy lovely views, it’s a home with broad appeal—whether you're moving up the ladder with your family or looking to downsize to something practical yet retain that feeling of space. Conveniently located just a short drive from the charming town centre of Ilminster and with excellent road connections nearby too, it’s a practical and future-proof choice for modern living.

Accommodation - The welcoming entrance hall features handy storage cupboards and provides access to a generously boarded loft—ideal for additional storage. This also includes the inverter for the 24 solar panels on the rear roof. The standout dual-aspect kitchen and dining room impresses with durable travertine-style tiled flooring and a smart, practical layout. Sleek cream cabinetry is paired with elegant granite worktops and includes an integrated electric oven, induction hob, dishwasher, and fridge freezer.

A separate utility room offers more space than expected, with room for a washing machine and two further under-counter appliances—perfect for busy family life. From the dining area, wide double doors open into the surprisingly spacious sitting room at the rear, creating a seamless flow ideal for entertaining. Enjoy stunning countryside views all year round and watch the seasons unfold through the large windows and patio doors. In colder months, a multifuel stove adds warmth and a cosy ambience.

For those working from home, the dedicated study—complete with direct access to the rear patio—offers a peaceful and functional space. The property includes four generously sized bedrooms, among them a spacious master suite featuring a stylish en suite shower room and a walk-in wardrobe. The family bathroom is equally well-appointed, offering both a separate bath and shower for added convenience.

Outside - The gardens surround the property on all four sides, setting back from the country lane on which it sits, with a generous block paved driveway providing plenty of parking, turning space and access to the larger than average garage. The garage includes an electric roller shutter door and additional door and window to the side for convenience. To the front, side and rear sweeping lawns are dotted with ornamental trees and shrubs with plenty of room for younger families or grandchildren to play. Green fingered buyers will love the space and aspect of the gardens, with ample scope to take on the baton and develop the gardens further, whilst to the other side of the bungalow are raised beds and a traditional timber greenhouse to help grow your own. Across the rear is a substantial paved patio perfect for outside dining and entertaining and a great spot to make the most of beautiful sunsets. A large automatic sun awning gives excellent shade on those hotter days and there is a useful outside tap. Backing onto farmland at the rear, there are fine seasonal views across the countryside towards the hills in the distance.

Situation - Stocklinch is a small but surprisingly active and accessible rural community. We are told there is a great sense of community for such a small village with the village hall very much a hub for local events throughout the year. There’s a great mix of people in the village spanning all age groups.

The nearby village of Barrington, famed for its superb National Trust property Barrington Court, has a village pub and pre-school as well as other local groups. With a short drive and just 3 miles to the south-west, Ilminster is a highly sought after small market town with a range of independent and high street stores including award winning butchers, delicatessen, bakers, cheese and dairy shop, as well as two town centre supermarkets for your everyday essentials. Ilminster also provides the local doctors surgeries and dentists, as well as various hairdressing salons, dry cleaners and wonderful well-stocked hardware store.
