Ilchester Road, Yeovil, Somerset

THE AGENT SAYS...
134 Ilchester Road is set well back from the street with an attractive frontage and private driveway. The property is presented in good condition - ready to move in to - but has a wealth of potential for improvement. The large rear garden has great depth and offers plenty of scope to extend the property, creating a more sociable family kitchen/dining room, while retaining a generous outdoor space. As you enter the house, there is an uninterrupted path from the front to the back, offering potential to create the much-coveted 'long view', looking straight out to the garden from the hall. A double storey extension would allow the creation of a larger third bedroom and maybe more. There are many possibilities to suit the needs of the new owners and the precedent for extension has already been set by the neighbouring properties.

THE PROPERTY
An entrance porch with original stained glass door and side panels, opens to a bright and charming hallway with a warm toned wooden floor, attractive spindle staircase (with storage beneath), and feature stained glass window. To the right is the sitting room which has lovely proportions, light pouring in from the attractive bow window at the front, and an ornate fireplace focal point. This room, and several others, has retained its original door and picture rails.

At the rear of the house is the dining room which is a lovely, square room that comfortably accommodates a large family dining table, and has direct access to the rear garden. Next to the dining room is the diminutive kitchen that has everything needed but requires updating. Extending the kitchen would improve the balance of the house and there is potential to create a superb kitchen/diner at the rear of the property.

On the first floor there are two generous double bedrooms, a small single room, and the family bathroom.

OUTSIDE
At the front, the property is set well back from the street and enjoys a good degree of privacy. The driveway leads alongside the house to the detached garage and also sweeps across the front of the property. The front garden is laid to lawn with trees/shrubs around the perimeter.

A pedestrian gate adjoining the garage gives access to the rear garden. Adjoining the rear of the house is a brick store with two separate sides. The long rear garden is fully laid to lawn with a trellis dividing it part way up. Beyond the trellis is a washing line and a metal storage shed. The garden is fully enclosed by fencing - chain link and panels - with some planting along the edges.
