Description
Well located within walking distance of both the town centre and open countryside, this semi-detached house offers you the chance to put your own stamp on it and is offered for sale with no onward chain.
The Dwelling - Located in a convenient spot just 0.4 miles from the town centre, this semi-detached house is ideal for first time buyers or families, and those simply wanting to put their own stamp on a property. Sitting within easy reach of the town's facilities, schools and recreation ground, it also lies close to the southern edge of the town where footpaths can take you into open countryside. In need of general updating it has a traditional layout with scope to knock-through the kitchen to create a more open-plan feel at the rear, or room to extend further at the side, subject to the necessary consents.
Accommodation - A side entrance porch in UPVC creates a useful extra space out of the weather for coats and shoes, freeing up space in the main hall where there's further storage under the stairs. In the sitting room a picture window to the front lets in lots of natural light and although the original tiled fireplace is currently not in use, it may offer scope for those looking to reinstate the open fire or install a wood-burning stove subject to the necessary checks. The dining room beyond offers scope for knocking through to the adjoining kitchen, which is currently a separate room off the hallway and includes a built-in pantry cupboard alongside a range of units. There is also a small conservatory at the rear of the dining room, overlooking the rear garden.
The first floor includes three bedrooms and a bathroom with original suite. The third bedroom offers scope to create a built-in cabin bed over the stairs or extra storage, to make the most of the space. The bedroom at the rear includes an airing cupboard with hot water cylinder and electric immersion heater, as well as a built-in wardrobe.
Outside - The gardens surround the house to the front, side and rear and are laid to lawn, with shrub and flower borders. Wrought iron gates opening from the front onto a block-paved path and driveway providing parking and access to the single garage with up and over door. The rear garden includes a timber garden shed.
Situation - Listers Hill is located just to the south of the town centre. A walk down the hill takes you into town. The doctors' surgeries are located not far away off Canal Way, and there is good access for dog walking via local footpaths and the Chard - Ilminster cycle path. The local Herne View Primary school sites are both within walking distance as is the recreation ground.
The local stores are mostly centred around the market square and 15th century Minster church and have everything you need from an excellent butchers and delicatessen, cheese and dairy shop, homewares and antiques stores, clothes boutiques and gift shops. The town is also well served by a town-centre Tesco store with ample free parking just a short walk from the town centre. Alongside the supermarket is a bowls club and tennis club. There is also a town library. Ilminster Arts centre is a vibrant arts venue with licensed cafe. There are plenty of other places to eat too, including pubs, restaurants, cafes and takeaways. The town has several hairdressers / beauty salons and a dental surgery. Ilminster is arguably one of South-Somerset's prettiest market towns and benefits from superb road links via the A303 and A358.
