Property description

Ready for a new owner to bring it up-to-date, this pleasant three bedroom semi is well located with garage and parking, and offers a great chance to create your own lovely family home.

The Property
The property has been in the same family for many years hence now offering a new owner the opportunity to take on the baton and make it their own home. It already benefits from double glazing and it has the original oil-fired warm air heating system, as well as a shower room that has been modernised in recent years making it perfectly liveable for those who would like to move in and do a little bit at a time.

To the front, a timber front door opens into a Storm Porch, where an aluminium front door leads through to the main entrance hall. Stairs rise to the first floor and to one side a high- level cupboard houses the electric meter / consumer unit. Under the stairs is a useful downstairs cloakroom. A cupboard to one side houses the oil-fired boiler that powers the warm air heating system.

As is typical of the era, the main living room is dual aspect overlooking the front and rear gardens, with a dining area at the rear and doorway opening to the kitchen. The kitchen has basic units comprising floor and wall mounted storage cupboards and stainless steel sink unit. There is space for both washing machine and electric cooker as well as room for an under-counter fridge.

On the first floor landing a double glazed window on the south side lets in natural light and there is access to the loft via a hatch. To the rear is a double bedroom with built-in wardrobe, a further double bedroom to the front currently fitted with a range of bedroom units, and an L-shaped single room with overstairs storage area.

The shower-room has been modernised and includes a WC, pedestal wash hand basin and corner shower cubicle housing Mira electric shower, all finished with neutral tiling.

Outside
The property is set back from the road by a pleasant front garden, laid to lawn with flower bed including spring bulbs. A tarmac driveway leads to the single garage (which adjoins the neighbouring garage). This has an up and over door. The rear garden is also mainly laid to lawn with flower borders including roses, clematis and shrubs. It also includes the oil storage tank (see agents note). A rear gateway leads directly onto the footpath at the rear, providing quicker access to the town centre. The mature tree in the rear garden is subject to a TPO.

Agents Note
We believe there is now mains gas available in the area, however we do not know how close this is to the property and buyers will need to make their own enquiries via Wales and West Utilities as to feasibility and cost if they wish to connect.

The tree on the edge of the rear garden is subject to a Tree Preservation Order.

Ilminster is one of South-Somerset’s prettiest market towns and everything needed for day to day living is on the doorstep. There is a wide variety of independent stores centred on the market square and 15th century Minster Church. The town is well served by a modern health centre, a dental surgery, two schools, a Tesco store, hairdressers, cafes, pubs and takeaways. The nearest mainline station is 10 minutes away in Crewkerne (London Waterloo-Exeter). Taunton Station serves Bath, Bristol and London Paddington. Within a 30-minute drive lies the Jurassic Coast World Heritage site and the famous seaside town of Lyme Regis.

Summerlands Park Avenue is located just to the west of the town centre. This particular property has a gateway from the rear garden leading onto the footpath / lane that leads up past the Warehouse Theatre and joins High Street / West Street leading into town.<br/><br/>
