Carnival Close, Ilminster, Somerset

An immaculate house with low maintenance garden, adjacent garage and parking. Conveniently placed for the recreation ground, local facilities and bus stops.

The Property - It is the ideal low-hassle home for a new buyer with minimal maintenance, good security and efficiency. Whether you're looking for your first home, need the perfect "lock-up-and-leave" or simply want less to maintain, then this is a great buy in a popular location.

The double glazed UPVC front door opens into a light and bright entrance hall with practical tiled floor that extends through into the adjoining downstairs cloakroom. This has a modern white suite including contemporary vanity wash hand basin and WC, and chrome ladder style towel rail.

To the other side of the hall is a sleek modern kitchen / breakfast room. The kitchen is finished with white gloss units incorporating both floor and wall mounted storage cupboards, including easy-access corner cupboards. The worksurfaces are a black slate effect with one and a half bowl composite sink unit. There is space for appliances including dishwasher and washing machine. The Cuisine Master 5-ring hob i8s perfectly placed and is complemented by a black cooker hood above. A breakfast bar to one side of the kitchen gives extra work-top space and room for casual dining, although the surprisingly spacious L-shaped sitting / dining room provides plenty of room for a larger dining table should you wish. The practical LVT flooring was laid by the current owners in 2023. At the rear, French doors let in plenty of natural light and open onto the low maintenance garden, that has been recently rejuvenated.

First Floor - The stairs lead to three bedrooms, two of which are doubles. The principal bedroom has the en-suite with modern white suite and chrome fittings. Two bedrooms also have built in wardrobes. The family bathroom also benefits from a white suite including bath with chrome shower over, finished with neutral cream tiling.

Outside - The garden has recently been landscaped with low maintenance patio and attractive pebbled edging. The current owners have incorporated the designated parking space into their garden area, which in turn gives access from the rear into the former single garage. This has been partitioned into two sections, with a useful home office area ideal if you need to work from home, and the remaining section being used for useful storage of bikes etc.

Situation - The property is tucked away at the end of the cul-de-sac of Carnival Close, on the south-western side of the town. It's ideally placed within a level walk to the recreation ground, play area and tennis courts. It’s also 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.
