Location
Ilchester is a historic Somerset village, once a Roman town, and today a thriving community that combines character with excellent day-to-day amenities. Within the village there are a selection of local shops, three pubs, a hotel and restaurant, a well-regarded primary school, church, doctors’ surgery, post office and a range of community facilities. The River Yeo runs through the village, and there are plenty of countryside walks nearby.
For wider services, the nearby towns of Yeovil and Somerton offer supermarkets, leisure facilities, restaurants, and secondary schooling options.
Ilchester is ideally positioned for road connections. The A303 is just minutes away, giving swift access east towards London and west towards Exeter and the South West. The A37 provides a direct route to Bristol and Bath, while Yeovil (around 6 miles) offers rail services to London Waterloo and Exeter. Castle Cary station, approximately 14 miles away, provides a direct line to London Paddington in under two hours.
Directions
From Somerton take B3151 and follow to the staggered crossroad. Continue straight over onto Edmunds Hill towards Ilchester. At the roundabout, continue straight on and at the next rounabout take the second exit. Follow the road through Ilchester centre and the property can be found on your right hand side, shortly after the Church on your left. Continue past the property and take the first turning right into Almshouse Lane and first gate opening on your right into the parking area.

Identity Verification
To ensure full compliance with current legal requirements, all buyers are required to verify their identity and risk status in line with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations before we can formally proceed with the sale. This process includes a series of checks covering identity verification, politically exposed person (PEP) screening, and AML risk assessment for each individual named as a purchaser. In addition, for best practice, we are required to obtain proof of funds and where necessary, to carry out checks on the source of funds being used for the purchase. These checks are mandatory and must be completed regardless of whether the purchase is mortgage-funded, cash, or part of a related transaction. A disbursement of £49 per individual (or £75 per director for limited company purchases) is payable to cover all aspects of this compliance process. This fee represents the full cost of conducting the required checks and verifications. You will receive a secure payment link and full instructions directly from our compliance partner, Guild365, who carry out these checks on our behalf.
