Description
The Property - A rare opportunity to acquire two adjoining building plots in one of the town's most sought-after addresses with the benefit of planning permission for the erection of two impressive detached dwellinghouses with integral garages and associated parking. The three-storey contemporary style of the two properties, designed to nestle in the existing hillside, makes the most of the available natural light and stunning views by the use of large expanses of glazing. The houses are intended to be constructed in natural stone with timber boarding under GRP roofs.
Situation - Located towards the northern edge of the town with fabulous views to the west, the land lies within easy reach of public footpaths and Dillington Estate permitted paths which lead you straight into the countryside. The town centre is only approximately half a mile away with a pedestrian pavement providing access. The town centre stores are mostly centred around the market square and 15th century Minster church and have everything you need from an award-winning butcher’s, delicatessen, cheese and dairy shop, super hardware store, homewares, antiques stores, clothes boutiques and gift shops. Ilminster is well served by a town-centre Tesco store with ample free parking. Alongside is a bowls club and tennis club and close-by a town library. There is also an excellent Co-op store with adjacent Peacocks clothes store. Ilminster Arts Centre is a vibrant arts venue with a licensed café and there are plenty of other places to eat, including pubs, cafes and restaurants. The town has several hairdressers / beauty salons, a dental surgery, first and middle schools (soon to combine to a two-tier system) and a modern health centre with two doctors' surgeries. This area of South Somerset remains very much unspoilt. It lies within easy reach of the lovely Jurassic coastline with its many beautiful beaches and historic seaside towns such as Lyme Regis within 30 minutes’ drive, whilst just a short drive away are the Blackdown Hills, another AONB perfect for walking and cycling. In terms of accessibility, it offers the best of both worlds with excellent road links such as the A30 and A358 (which in turn connects to the M5 and A303).
