Our team at GTH are excited to offer this rare opportunity to acquire a 4 bedrooms detached home, set in the heart of its own grounds, with manicured gardens, private driveway/off-road parking, detached double garage and situated in a prominent location in the medieval, market town of Ilminster.


We are delighted to offer this four bedroom detached residence with fabulous gardens, double garage and occupying an exclusive position within the heart of the medieval market town of Ilminster. In brief the property comprises an entrance hall, sitting room, dining room kitchen/breakfast room, utility and WC and shower room to the ground floor with four bedrooms (one ensuite) and a family bathroom to the first floor. With nearly 1,500 sq ft of accommodation this expansive family home offers flexibility and space at every turn as well as the opportunity to realise further potential. The full-depth sitting room is a lovely setting to unwind throughout the seasons with views and direct access out to the gardens. The dining room will appeal to those who enjoy more formal entertaining but it should be noted it could also be integrated with the kitchen to create modern, open-plan living, should one wish. The utility and downstairs WC and shower room make up the more practical rooms to the ground floor. All the bedrooms are of excellent proportions and all considered to accommodate double beds, with the master having the luxury of inbuilt wardrobes and its own ensuite. The remaining three bedrooms are all serviced by the family bathroom. The double garage is an exciting addition and would also lend itself to being utilised as a gym, study, workshop or subject to the necessary consents, a self-contained annexe. It is rare to find a prominently positioned
home, in the heart of Ilminster with such generous grounds and we would strongly recommend families and those looking for an exclusive home close to excellent amenities and transportation links to view.
