Detached house for sale in Listers Hill, Ilminster, Somerset TA19

Tucked away in a small cul-de-sac of just four similar houses, this immaculately presented and deceptively roomy home boasts two en suite bedrooms and a separate study and lies with easy reach of both the town centre facilities and local countryside.

The Property

When you first enter this property you're struck by its flexible and practical layout, the sense of space, and just how light and airy it is on a sunny day. Perfect if you need plenty of space for family or visitors, the flexibility of the rooms not only gives you ample study or home office space, but also rooms for hobbies too. The added bonus of an extra en suite guest room is ideal for families with older children or regular visitors, whilst the three separate downstairs reception rooms provide a designated study and the choice of a formal dining room or family / play room depending on your needs. Flexible enough to suit different generations it's tucked away in a cul de sac of just four similar properties. You can walk down hill into the town centre, or within half a mile join local footpaths into the countryside. The local schools and recreation ground are also nearby, as is the health centre with two doctors surgeries.

The ground floor offers a handy enclosed porch with plenty of room to hang coats and keep in the warmth in the cooler months, fitted with coir matting for practicality. This opens through into a surprisingly spacious and welcoming inner hall with part galleried landing above and plenty of natural light from the landing window. There is understairs storage and a large downstairs cloakroom to one side which also has plenty of room to add further hanging space for coats if you prefer. A further door conveniently opens to the integral garage.

The kitchen breakfast room lies at the front of the house with a sunny outlook. It's fitted with an attractive range of sage green country style units comprising floor and wall mounted storage cupboards, drawers, display shelving and hinged corner cabinets making the most of the available space. There are fitted appliances including dishwasher, fridge freezer, bosch gas hob and double oven, with room for a breakfast table to one side. A useful separate utility room to one side has matching units and space for your washing machine as well as a handy extra sink for dirtier jobs. The wall mounted Worcester boiler was replaced in 2020.

Across the rear of the house are three separate reception rooms, perfect if you all like your own space. The well-proportioned living room has large patio doors overlooking the colourful rear garden. A separate study is fitted with a generous range of adjustable oak bookshelves / display units. The formal dining room across the hall has a large bay window to make the most of the natural light, and is large enough for both a dining suite and a comfy chair or two. Families might like the flexibility of using this as a separate play room.

First Floor

The light and airy galleried landing leads you to a super flexible first floor layout. The original developer is reputed to have considered creating five bedrooms, and indeed one of the larger bedrooms has two separate windows should you need to create two smaller rooms. Currently, the layout allows for double beds in each of the four rooms and includes two en suite bedrooms. The master bedroom is particularly generous with built-in wardrobes and naturally lit en suite shower room. The guest bedroom, with its own en suite is perfect for visiting friends or relatives or older children. The family bathroom includes its own well-maintained modern white suite including a bath.

Outside

A gravelled driveway to the front provides off road parking for two cars and access to the integral single garage with up and over door, power and internal door to the hallway. The front garden includes a range of shrubs with a side access gateway leading through to the pathway, past the utility room door. The paved pathway widens to accommodate a timber storage shed to one side. The garden extends across the rear of the house and has matured beautifully with year round structure from shrubs and ornamental trees as well as areas for fruit and vegetables. There's a gravelled seating area for afternoon / evening sunshine and a timber summerhouse.

Situation

Listers Court is located just off Listers Hill 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.
