Detached house for sale in Broadway, Ilminster TA19

With sheltered sunny gardens and superb proportions, this immaculate home offers exceptionally generous living space in a great village.

The Property

Offering much more than initially meets the eye, this exceptionally spacious home boasts a great layout for a family or those who like to entertain. The ground floor living space has been cleverly laid out to include a large sociable family room, adjoining a dining area which in turn leads through to a superb kitchen / breakfast room at the rear. This clever use of space, along with a separate generous sitting room gives just the right amount of separation whilst suiting today’s preference for open-plan sociable living. On the first floor, four double bedrooms include two with their own en suite facilities and a generous bathroom to serve bedrooms three and four. With attractive sheltered gardens and plenty of storage inside and out, it’s the perfect home for busy people whose priority is a large house with less maintenance and hassle.

The house is tucked away behind an original period wall giving a surprising amount of seclusion and privacy to the front.

A useful front porch with practical quarry tiled floor, opens through into a generous hall with well appointed cloakroom to one side, handy built-in cupboard for coats and further understairs cupboard. Oak doors lead through to the principal rooms, with a generous dual aspect sitting room on the west side of the house opening onto the southerly facing rear garden. This has an attractive brick and stone fireplace with timber mantel, fitted with lpg gas flame effect fire. A separate ground floor study is the perfect place for a home office or hobby space. Beyond this the vendors have created a generous family room which opens via french doors onto the private front garden. This is a particularly versatile space that works as an extra living room or would make an ideal formal dining space if you have a particularly large dining suite that you need to accommodate. That said, the adjoining dining area is generous and alternatively could make a great snug if you prefer to change things up, with its TV recess and space for a couple of comfy chairs instead. This flows through to the exceptional kitchen / breakfast room across the rear. Further french doors open onto the rear patio, thereby connecting with the sitting room and creating a great flow for entertaining in the summer. The kitchen is fitted with contemporary grey gloss units including floor-to-ceiling and floor standing cupboards with a superb range of storage compartments for that ultimate clutter-free look. There are tall pull-out units with drawers, pan drawers, corner units with carousels and a central island with further curved storage cupboards and space for informal dining. The units are topped with black quartz and incorporate Neff appliances including two ovens, warming drawer, induction hob and extractor, and dishwasher. There is space to one side for a large freestanding fridge / freezer if you wish. A separate utility room has further storage and a useful second sink, as well as space and plumbing for both your washing machine and tumble dryer. It also houses the wall mounted lpg gas boiler. There is also electric underfloor heating running through the kitchen, dining and family area.

On the first floor, the bright and airy landing leads to the two en suite bedrooms at the front. Both are generous rooms with their own en suite facilities including particularly spacious shower units, concealed cistern WC’s and vanity wash hand basins with their associated storage. Both are attractively tiled for day-to-day practicality.

The rear section of landing incorporates a spacious built-in wardrobe with hanging space and shelving, a further double linen cupboard, and an additional single cupboard with shelving - so no shortage of storage space for your household items.

The two sunny bedrooms at the rear are served by a good size family bathroom which again has been attractively fitted with suite comprising p-shaped bath with shower over, concealed cistern WC and vanity wash hand basin units.

Outside

The property is approached over a block-paved effect driveway providing parking and access to the detached double garage which is located at the front of the house and provides extra screening and privacy to the front garden. The double garage benefits from an Garamatic automatic garage door, power and light and a side door. The front garden is screened from view with attractive trellis and a gateway and is a bit of a hidden gem. Despite being at the front of the house, the original period brick wall encloses it on two sides and makes for a private sheltered space accessible from the family room that we think you’d use as much as the rear garden. Beautifully laid out with lawn, borders and patio the tall wall makes it completely private from anyone passing by. There is an outside power point and tap to the side of the garage. A side gate leads through to the east side of the house, where a useful, wide access path includes a timber tool shed and further outside tap. Beyond, a BBQ area includes a timber shelter and water feature. In turn, the paved pathway leads through a seating area with timber pergola clad with climbing plants including honeysuckle and clematis. There is a further outdoor power point. The path continues to the rear garden which is sheltered and has a sunny southerly aspect. The patio connects the sitting room and kitchen french doors with raised sleeper beds including bamboo for a gentle rustle and screening. The lawn is edged with further borders with ornamental trees and shrubs for shelter and privacy including a pretty ginkgo tree, black elder and crab apple.
