3 Bedrooms Semi-detached house for sale in Silver Street, Ilminster, Somerset TA19 | £ 189,950

Property Description

If you're looking to put your own stamp on a property, this three double bedroom town centre cottage is a real gem of an opportunity. Full of potential and with some great proportions, it's just a stone's throw from all the pretty town centre facilities.

The Property
Although the property would benefit from some general improvement it retains some period features and good proportions that offer you lots of potential to reconfigure the layout and create a lovely home. There is already gas central heating, and some windows are double glazed.

The front door opens into an entrance lobby with a glazed door opening into the main hall. Stairs lead up to the first floor and to the right is a very good size dual aspect living room. A corner cupboard houses the electric meter, etc. At the rear of the cottage is a kitchen fitted with a range of storage cupboards and worktops incorporating a single bowl single drainer stainless steel sink unit. Off the kitchen is a good-sized separate dining room and there is evidence of an original doorway to one corner which could potentially be reinstated to make the accommodation flow more easily from the hall. The dining room has a tiled fireplace with timber surround which is currently boarded and not in use. To one side the original period storage cupboards are still in situ. At the rear of the kitchen is a lean-to utility area currently housing plumbing for washing machine and tumble dryer. This is of part block and timber construction with a corrugated plastic roof, but gives you an under-cover access to a very useful stone outbuilding / store which might have potential to be incorporated into the accommodation (subject to necessary consents). At the back of the store is an external WC.

On the first floor the landing leads to three double bedrooms, one with its Victorian cast iron feature fireplace and period built-in storage cupboards. A good size bathroom requires modernisation but has ample potential to incorporate a separate shower (subject to any necessary consents). Currently there's a WC, wash hand basin and bath with shower over.

Outside
There is a courtyard to the rear which offers enough room to dine outside, and with scope to create a lovely lower-maintenance garden. Steps lead up to a pedestrian gate that leads out to the side and onto the neighbouring lane. In the courtyard there is also a second stone store with timber door and smaller stone coal shed.

The town centre has a 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.

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.
