Description

This charming three-bedroom Grade II listed character property is situated on the outskirts of the popular town of Ilminster, enjoying a semi-rural feel while remaining within easy reach of the A303 and M5 motorway. Dating back to the 18th century, the property beautifully combines period charm with modern comforts and offers deceptively spacious accommodation arranged over two floors.

The house is rich in original features, including exposed ceiling beams, wooden doors, window seats and an attractive inglenook fireplace, all of which add to its warm and welcoming atmosphere. The property is well presented throughout, beginning with a modern fitted kitchen that provides ample storage and a range of integrated appliances. Adjacent to the kitchen is a useful utility and cloakroom, offering further space for appliances and housing the oil-fired central heating boiler.

The living room is a particularly impressive space, centred around a striking inglenook fireplace with an inset wood-burning stove. This generous room also benefits from two double-glazed stone mullion windows with window seats, exposed ceiling beams and an attractive recessed area fitted with bespoke shelving, creating a characterful yet practical living environment.

To the first floor, the main bedroom is a spacious dual-aspect room, featuring a charming window seat and a fitted storage cupboard over the stairs. Bedroom two is a light and airy double bedroom with two double-glazed windows to the side aspect, while the third bedroom, currently used as a home office, also benefits from a double-glazed window with a window seat. The family bathroom is well proportioned and fitted with a modern four-piece suite, most notably a large walk-in shower cubicle with a rainfall shower head.

Outside, the property enjoys an enclosed garden laid to a combination of lawn and paving. There is also an additional courtyard area with a log store. A gate provides access to two allocated parking spaces and a single garage.

This delightful period home is deceptively spacious and offers a rare opportunity to acquire a character property in a convenient yet peaceful location. Internal viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the charm, space and quality of accommodation on offer.
