Wood Lane, Ashill, Ilminster, Somerset

A fantastic opportunity to purchase this unique property which comprises two semi-detached homes: Wood Farm (two bedroom) and Wood Farm Cottage (one bedroom). Whether you are looking for a home with an annex or the opportunity to create one larger home this project property has great appeal. In a charming rural location, overlooking farmland at the front and rear, the property as a whole sits in 0.37 acres and has driveway parking on both sides. This is an extensive project but the services of a skilled architect could transform the two properties into one very special home, tailored to your exact specifications; a chance to create your perfect home without the need to build from scratch is a special thing indeed, particularly in such a scenic location.

PROPERTY 

Wood Farm 
The main entrance is at the rear of the property and opens to a hallway which has doors to a WC, utility and the kitchen. The utility is a good size and perfectly situated near the garden and away from the living accommodation. The kitchen is a nicely proportioned, almost square room, and although dated it is serviceable. Adjoining the kitchen is the dining room and opening up the wall between these rooms would be transformative in terms of flow, space, light, and creating a sociable living space. Connectivity to the conservatory at the front would also be improved. The dining room opens to a second hall at the front, where stairs rise to the first floor. Opposite the dining room is the quietly situated reception room that is flooded with light from the south.

On the first floor there are two double bedrooms and family shower room. Bedroom 1 is a lovely generous room and bedroom 2 is also a great size and has the added benefit of built-in wardrobes. There is also a built-in storage cupboard on the landing.

Wood Farm Cottage
An enclosed porch opens into a small hall from where the stairs rise to the first floor. A door to the left leads into the sitting room which  is a good size and centred around a fireplace. The kitchen is at the rear of the cottage and, while small, is perfectly formed (although in need of refurbishment).

The bedroom is a great size and benefits from a built-in closet and windows front and rear. The bathroom is also  a really good size; if converting the two properties into one then this could be a lovely principal bedroom with en-suite.

OUTSIDE 

Wood Farm

Wood Farm is approached via timber five-bar gates and has a driveway alongside the house that leads to the main entrance at the rear. A pedestrian gate next to the conservatory opens into the enclosed, south-facing front garden which is laid to lawn (paved outside the conservatory) with planted borders all round and a beautiful magnolia tree next to the front wall. At the rear, hardstanding adjoins the house and leads on to a concrete path that runs down the centre of the lawned garden. The garden is enclosed by post and fail fencing and has borders stuffed with shrubs, perennials and colourful trees.

Wood Farm Cottage

A driveway leads to the a garage in front of Wood Cottage. A tall hedge separates the property from Wood Farm. The lawned garden wraps around the front, side and rear of the property, as does a concrete pathway alongside the house. There is currently no separation between the two properties at the rear. Wood Farm Cottage has a pedestrian gate leading into the lawned garden of Wood Farm.
