End terrace house for sale in Riec-Sur-Belon Way, Ilminster TA19

If you'd like to put your own stamp on your next home, this is a great opportunity to totally refurbish and potentially remodel a spacious double-fronted attached property on the edge of this popular development.

The Property

A rare chance to obtain a spacious modern house on the edge of this popular development in need of complete refurbishment. It's a great opportunity for someone with the right skills and a good eye to make a lovely family-sized home with all their own choice of fixtures and fittings. The longer than average garden offers a keen gardener the chance to relandscape and design their own space. It extends to the south side of the house, connecting with the former garage which has been converted into a store / hobby space, with the driveway beyond still providing parking. This could offer great potential to work from home or be reinstated as a garage if you prefer.

The front of the house is accessed via a shared pathway. You enter into a spacious hall with downstairs cloakroom to one side with natural light. Solid timber flooring has been added which could be refinished to create a nice feature as it extends across the hall into a former living / dining room. This main reception room has been split by way of a stud partition wall and is therefore currently laid out as a sitting room, with separate store area beyond (there are no windows in this area). This could easily be incorporated back into the main reception room or alternatively could be amalgamated differently to create a bespoke layout.

The kitchen / breakfast room has timber double glazed french doors opening onto the garden. It is fitted with a range of units, with worktops over including a stainless steel sink unit. There is currently a built in electric oven and gas hob. To one side is a really useful walk-in understairs utility area with window to the side. This includes space and plumbing for both a dishwasher and washing machine and also houses the wall mounted gas boiler for the central heating system.

First Floor

On the first floor the landing extends across the front of the house and includes an airing cupboard with hot water cylinder and slatted shelving as well as access to the loft space via a hatch. The master bedroom is a good double with adjoining en suite shower room. This is fitted with a white suite including shower cubicle, WC and pedestal wash hand basin. There is a second double room with built-in wardrobe recess providing hanging space, and a single bedroom that also benefits from a single built-in wardrobe. The family bathroom has a window for natural light and a white suite including panelled bath with shower handset, pedestal wash hand basin and WC.

Outside

The rear garden extends to the southerly side of the property, accessed from the french doors in the kitchen, or alternatively from the front of the house via a side gate. It is a complete blank canvas for a new owner to landscape as they wish but is completely enclosed by brick wall and fencing making it quite secure and family friendly. From the garden a pedestrian door opens into the rear of the former garage. This has been boarded out to create a separate store / hobby room with power. However, the up and over door is still in situ to the front and it has potential to be be reinstated into a garage if necessary. There is a driveway parking space to the front of the former garage, with the addition of double timber gates to keep this area enclosed.

Situation

The property is effectively on the edge of the cul-de-sac of Carnival Close, on the south-western side of the town and ideally placed with a level walk to the recreation ground, play area and tennis courts. It’s just a short walk from the Ilminster - Chard cycle path which follows the route of the disused railway line through the South Somerset countryside. It's not too far from the doctors' surgeries and local schools, as well as the wide range of facilities in the town centre. Closer still is the Texaco garage with Spar store for those last-minute groceries, whilst the Stonemasons Pub is just a short walk away. With the town centre the local stores are mostly centred around the market square and 15th century Minster church. 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 and drink including pubs, cafes and takeaways. The town also benefits from 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. The town has a recently merged Primary School covering the 4-11 years age range.
