No Onward Chain. A well-proportioned and enviably positioned 2 bedroom bungalow with parking, garage, garden, views and occupying a great spot close to the centre of Ilminster.


We are delighted to offer this two bedroom bungalow with parking, garage, good-size garden and occupying a lovely position in the ever popular development of Summerlands Park Avenue. In brief the property comprises an entrance porch, sitting room, kitchen/dining room, WC, bathroom and two bedrooms. Although now in need of modernisation, number 15 provides a wonderful blank canvas on which to create one’s dream home. The kitchen is well-appointed with all essential mod cons and has ample room for a dining table. The sitting room is spacious and provides a lovely setting to enjoy throughout the seasons whilst both bedrooms are considered to accommodate double beds with one having direct access out to the gardens. Both bedrooms are serviced by the family bathroom and separate WC. Depending on one’s needs, one of the bedrooms could be utilised as a study, further reception room or even studio. This will ideally suit those requiring single storey living whilst being in close proximity of all the excellent amenities Ilminster has to offer.

Ilminster has convenient road access to both the M5, junction 25 lies 11 miles to the north-west and to the A303, now dual carriageway most of the way to the M3.

Bath, Bristol and Exeter offer excellent cultural and shopping facilities within easy travelling distance. The World Heritage designated coastline lies 18 miles to the South.

The property is approached by a driveway for off-road parking which in turn leads to the garage. The garden can be found to the rear and is laid to lawn and patio and further complemented by mature shrubs and colourful flora. Its deceptively large and takes in elevated views over Ilminster and the countryside beyond. It is relatively low maintenance and a lovely spot for alfresco dining and sitting out through the warmer months.
