Description
Offered for sale with no onward chain, this spacious detached bungalow is set in a third of an acre in a peaceful "tucked away" position.
The Property - With well-balanced proportions and a versatile layout, this property offers ample space for family living while remaining easily manageable for those looking to downsize from a larger home. Set within its own third of an acre grounds, it features mature, attractive gardens and generous parking, all in a private setting at the heart of one of the area's most sought-after villages.
Accommodation - On entering through the front door, you are welcomed into a bright and spacious hallway, filled with natural light from the fully glazed door and matching side panels. The hall is thoughtfully designed with a walk-in cloaks cupboard and a separate linen cupboard.
To one side lies the generous kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with quality limewashed oak-style units and solid worktops incorporating a drainer and stainless steel one-and-a-half bowl sink. Integrated Siemens appliances include an electric hob with oven and cooker hood, along with a combination microwave oven. An integrated fridge and convenient corner carousel unit complete the layout. The room comfortably accommodates a dining table, though a formal dining room is also located adjacent. At the rear, a dedicated utility room and adjoining cloakroom provide additional practicality.
Across the hallway, the spacious dual-aspect sitting room enjoys abundant natural light, enhanced by French doors that open directly onto the sunny patio. A feature fireplace with wood-burning stove creates a warm focal point, ideal for cooler evenings. Double doors lead seamlessly into a substantial triple-aspect conservatory, offering further living space.
The property offers four bedrooms, providing flexibility for family living, home-working, or hobbies. The master bedroom benefits from a stylish en suite shower room, while the remaining rooms are served by a bright and modern family bathroom, complete with bath, shower attachment, and glass screen, finished in contemporary neutral tiling.
Outside - The property occupies approximately one-third of an acre, with the main gardens positioned to the south. Offering a high level of privacy, the grounds are naturally screened by mature trees, hedges, and shrubs. The gardens feature a blend of lawns, shrubbery, and herbaceous borders, along with a productive fruit garden containing established cordon apple trees, raspberry canes, and currant bushes. A sunny patio area is partly screened by timber arches adorned with climbing plants such as clematis and rambling roses.
Access is via Trotts Lane, passing the frontage of two neighbouring properties, and through timber five-bar gates that lead onto a private driveway. This provides generous off-road parking and access to a double garage fitted with two up-and-over doors, power, and lighting. For added practicality, there are also two external water taps.
Situation - The property is situated in a tucked-away position off a quiet lane within Horton. The village lies adjacent to the village of Broadway and both villages have a good range of facilities. Each village has a thriving pub and for families there are two playgrounds, a pre-school and the well respected Neroche Primary School in Broadway. There is a post office in Horton, and a great range of clubs and societies including a thriving cricket club for those who like to get involved. There is also an NHS medical centre within Broadway. The pretty market town of Ilminster lies just over 3 miles from the property and has a wonderful range of independent stores including award-winning butchers, delicatessen, cheese and dairy shop, and greengrocers as well as two town centre supermarkets for your everyday essentials. The village lies within a short drive of excellent road links including the A303 / A30 to the west and the A358 connecting to the south coast and to the north the M5 at Taunton.
