Extended at the rear, and offering even more scope to improve or enlarge if you'd like to, this super semi-detached bungalow has lots of potential, a private enclosed garden at the rear, driveway and an adjoining garage with internal door. Offered for sale with no onward chain.
The Property
This super semi-detached bungalow is well located in a popular village and set back from the village road by a good size front garden, allowing for ample driveway parking to one side. Offered for sale with no onward chain it's fair to say there is potential for you to put your own stamp on it, but it has been nicely extended in the past with a pitched roof extension to the rear creating a sizeable living / dining room and it also benefits from oil fired central heating and double glazing. Other properties in the area have also converted the loft space, so if you are looking for a property that has potential to "grow with you" then this may offer that scope subject to the necessary consents and alterations.
The garage adjoins the property, giving you handy access from the front hallway if you like to use the garage for storage or room for an extra freezer etc. Beyond, a good size living room has plenty of space for both the usual suite and a dining table and sliding patio doors giving you an outlook over and access to the sunny rear garden. The inner hall gives you access to the loft space via a hatch and also includes the airing cupboard with its hot water cylinder and shelving. The bathroom is functional with its original coloured suite including a bath with electric shower over, and a heated towel rail / radiator. The two double bedrooms have a pleasant outlook over the front garden whilst the galley style kitchen opens to the rear. This has a range of fitted units including floor and wall mounted storage cupboards and drawers with work surfaces over incorporating a one and a half bowl single drainer sink, integrated electric hob and double oven. There's space under the counter for both a washing machine and a slimline dishwasher, and further space for an under counter fridge and a freezer.
Outside
The generous front garden is laid to lawn with mature shrubs and sets the property back from the village road giving a little more privacy. The driveway to the front provides parking and access to the adjoining single garage with up and over door, power and light. The oil fired central heating boiler is located within the garage to one side (see property information section). Beyond the garage a door opens to a lean-to store of timber and plastic construction, with power and light and a door to the garden.
At the rear the garden enjoys a sunny aspect, facing south-west and making the most of the afternoon sunshine. The oil tank is located to one side alongside useful water butts. The garden was laid to paving and gravel to aid maintenance, and includes a timber garden shed and mature shrubs, all enclosed by timber fencing. There is an outside tap nearest the kitchen.
Situation
Ilton is a convenient village just a few minutes’ drive from Ilminster, which offers a good range of day-to-day amenities including a lovely range of independent stores and supermarkets, and also well placed for road links via the A358 to the A303, A30 and M5.
