3 Bedrooms End terrace house for sale in Silver Street, Ilminster, Somerset TA19 | £ 160,000

Property Description

This sizeable 3 / 4 double bedroom townhouse has lots of potential to "make it your own" and retains some lovely original period features, located right in the heart of the pretty market town centre.

The Property
The property has been used as offices for many years (see agents note) but essentially is laid out as a workable home with reception rooms, separate kitchen, upstairs bathroom and bedrooms. It also benefits from gas central heating throughout via a modern Worcester wall mounted combination boiler located in the upstairs bathroom. It is also predominantly double glazed throughout. It now offers the chance for a new owner to modernise the accommodation and reinstate the property into a good size town centre home whilst retaining some of the lovely period features that still remain such as ornate fireplaces, stripped doors with original Victorian fingerplates and picture rails.

A UPVC double glazed front door opens into a small porch, but beyond that is a very generous entrance hall with a window to the side. To the left is one former office that would make an excellent study or play-room. A chimney breast has been blocked up over the years but has potential perhaps to open it back up (subject to the necessary checks). To the right is a nice size separate sitting room again with blocked-up former fireplace and two westerly facing windows letting in plenty of natural light. A door leads through to a useful understairs store-room, with a further door opening to the kitchen. However, from the hall a further door opens into a third reception room which would make an ideal dining or breakfast room, also giving access to the kitchen allowing the accommodation to flow all the way round if required.

Beyond the dining room is a small rear lobby with WC, a door leading from the lobby into the courtyard.

On the first floor a very generous landing gives access to what is potentially four good size bedrooms. Doors open to a large bedroom (formerly two rooms) across the front of the property with a nice outlook over the pretty street to the front. There are two period fireplaces and two front facing windows so the addition of a stud wall would easily split back into two nice size bedrooms. Two other bedrooms also have period fireplaces, one with a rear outlook. The bathroom is fitted with Low level WC, bath and wash hand basin. A cupboard houses the wall mounted gas boiler for central heating.

Outside
To the rear is a small courtyard garden with two outbuildings / storage sheds which have not been inspected by the agent.
A gateway provides access onto the shared side access path, whilst the garden is completely enclosed by timber fencing.

Agents Note
The property has been used as offices for many years, and business rates have been payable. However, the vendor has checked with the planning department of South Somerset District Council and the property is deemed as having residential use according to their records.

It's just a short walk down into the pretty market town centre with its wide variety of independent stores. These are mostly centred around the market square and 15th century Minster church and have everything you need from an award-winning butchers, delicatessen, cheese and dairy shop, homewares, antiques stores, clothes boutiques and gift shops. Ilminster is also well served by a town-centre Tesco store with ample free parking. Alongside is a bowls club and tennis club and close-by a town library.
The market square is just a short walk away and also serves as the bus stop for local bus services to neighbouring towns and the Berry's Superfast coach service to London. Main line train stations can be found at Taunton (London Paddington / Bristol / Bath etc) and Crewkerne (London Waterloo / Exeter etc).

Ilminster Arts Centre is a vibrant arts venue with licensed café and there are plenty of other places to eat too, including pubs, cafes, restaurants and take-aways. 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 has everything you need for day to day living on your doorstep. Should you need to go further afield it benefits from superb road links via the A303 and A358. The town has two schools, Greenfylde First School and Swanmead Middle School.
