Property description

Low-maintenance living in a handy location. If indoor space is more important to you than outdoor space, this spacious three-storey townhouse has versatile accommodation with an optional ground floor bedroom and shower-room.

The Property
The property can be accessed either from the front path or the rear parking area. From the front, a shared path along the front of the terrace leads to the front door. Similar to many townhouses, the majority of the living accommodation is on the first floor, but this gives you a versatile ground floor space with a fourth bedroom / family room, utility room and useful downstairs shower-room with mains shower, WC and wash hand basin. If you have a dependent relative or older children who need a little bit of independence, or even if you work from home this ground floor layout could be really useful. The utility room houses the gas fired central heating boiler discreetly located within a matching cupboard, and has space for your washing machine. There is also a useful extra sink for those dirtier jobs - perhaps when the children come in from the recreation ground which is just a short walk away.

On the first floor is a lovely size kitchen / dining room. It’s a really sociable space where you can imagine everyone congregating around the table. The modern cream gloss units have black quartz work surfaces over including a one and a half bowl stainless steel sink unit, integrated dishwasher and integrated gas hob and double electric oven. There’s also space for an upright fridge freezer. The living room is across the hall and has windows to the front overlooking the trees towards the countryside beyond. The living room has wood flooring and to one corner is a useful understairs storage cupboard.

On the second floor there are three bedrooms including a master bedroom with en-suite shower room. The bedroom has a built-in undereaves wardrobe, whilst the shower-room includes WC, wash hand basin and double shower cubicle. The family bathroom has practical grey contemporary tiling and the white suite includes a panelled bath with shower over taps, further WC and wash hand basin. Bedroom two is a smaller double currently used as a nursery, and bedroom three a nice size single. Both have dormer windows overlooking Herne Hill.

Outside
To the rear, there is vehicular access over a communal parking area leading to the driveway, in front of which are two single allocated parking spaces. This provides access through double gates into the enclosed driveway and in turn to the integral single garage. The garage has an up and over door, power and light. This rear courtyard has been attractively paved giving you the option to use it as extra parking / access to the garage or simply to be used as a good size courtyard garden.
There’s ample room for outdoor furniture and plenty of potential for some pretty pots if container gardening is your thing. There’s no lawn to mow so it’s great if you want a no-hassle garden. If you park outside of your drive and close the gates there’s even more room to enjoy. It’s completely enclosed by fencing making it nice and safe, and there’s a handy outside tap.

Agents Note
Planning permission has been granted for further development of the town on the south side of Canal Way. Full details are available via the South Somerset District Council planning portal.

Canal Way is part of a modern development on the southern side of the town and ideally placed for families with a level walk to the recreation ground, play area and tennis courts, and close to the start of the Ilminster - Chard cycle path. It's also conveniently placed within a short walk of the doctors' surgeries and local schools, as well as the wide range of facilities in the town centre.

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, cafe's and takeaways. The town also benefits from several hairdressers / beauty salons and a dental surgery as well as modern health centre on the southern side of the town with two doctors' surgeries. 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 two schools, Greenfylde First School and Swanmead Middle School soon to merge into a two-tier system.
