Description - Oakfield's Farm is a charming detached stone cottage which has been superbly renovated and improved by the current owners to provide a wonderful period home retaining much of its original charm and character. As well as renovating the house they have also created a one-bedroom annexe which has been beautifully designed to provide an open plan sitting and dining room, together with a separate bedroom and newly fitted bathroom suite. The gardens are a real feature of the house, surrounding the property and are well tended including a pond with various sitting out areas, enjoying far reaching views over surrounding countryside.

There are a range of useful outbuildings including a former piggery, workshop and steel framed agricultural building which have significant potential for development (subject to planning).

Accommodation - The accommodation is arranged over two floors and include an entrance porch/conservatory with sealed unit double glazing, a tiled floor, shelved recess and coat space with door to downstairs cloakroom. The kitchen/breakfast room has been fitted with a range of wall and base units with plumbing for dishwasher and washing machine and there are windows to the rear and pedestrian door to the side of the property. There is an opening through to the sitting room which centres upon an open fireplace with inset wood burner. Inner hallway with stairs rising to first floor and further door to the living room with open fireplace and inset wood burner. On the first floor there are three good sized bedrooms, two with built in wardrobes and a newly fitted bathroom suite.

Outside, the separate annexe provides superb opportunity for either multi-generational living or could provide an alternative income. The property has had substantial renovations throughout. The range of outbuildings include a former piggery/stable, an excellent workshop and a further steel framed agricultural building/tractor shed.
The gardens are to the front, side and rear of the property and are well tended with areas of lawn and planted herbaceous borders. Beyond the garden is a pond with a number of specimen trees and shrubs.

Situation & Amenities - The property sits back just back from the A303 between Ilminster and Marsh on the southern edge of The Blackdown Hills, An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and has far reaching views across traditional countryside to the front and rear. The Market Town of Ilminster is some 3 miles to the East and provides an excellent range of day to day amenities and The County Town of Taunton is some 9 miles to the North offering superb retail and commercial opportunities as well a mainline railway station.

Directions - From the Ilminster roundabout on the A303 proceed up the hill and the entrance to Oakfields Farm can be found on the right-hand side about half way up the hill identified by a Stags for sale board
