New Road, Ilminster, Somerset, TA19

A charming, spacious and well-proportioned home with south west-facing garden, parking and situated just a short distance from the centre of Ilminster.


A spacious and welcoming four bedroom property with parking, south west-facing garden and conveniently situated close to the centre of Ilminster. In brief the property comprises an entrance hall, sitting room, dining room, kitchen, utility and WC to the ground floor, three bedrooms, family bathroom and WC to the first floor and a further bedroom to the second floor. 23 New Road comes to the market for the first time in over 30 years, testament to what a happy home it has been. With over 1,300 sq ft of accommodation, the property is both spacious and flexible and will allow any buyer to put their own design stamp on it. The sitting room to the front has the benefit of a bay window providing plenty of light. It’s a relaxing setting to unwind and has a gorgeous central fireplace providing a wonderful focal point. The dining room is an intimate and social space for formal entertaining whilst the well-fitted kitchen has the advantage of a separate utility and direct access outside. There are two double bedrooms and a single bedroom to the first floor which are all serviced by the family bathroom, which itself has the luxury of a separate shower and bath. For those needing to work from home, the single bedroom would make an excellent study. On the second floor is another generous double which takes in elevated views of the rooftops and countryside beyond. Properties of this calibre and setting rarely come to the market and we would strongly recommend families and those looking to be close to excellent amenities and communication links to view.
