Wadham Close, Ilminster

A spacious and well-kept bungalow with a sunny aspect and lovely views, conveniently located for the pretty town centre facilities.

The Property - Offering the best of both worlds, this super bungalow has had just one set of careful owners since new. Enjoying an elevated position with level access from the driveway at the rear, it looks out across the town towards the countryside. As is typical of the era, there are lovely large windows making the most of the natural light and position and whilst there is scope for you to make it your own, it has been beautifully looked after over the years. It would be a great buy for those looking to move closer to the pretty town centre facilities, whilst retaining a countryside outlook.

Accommodation - From the private road, you enter from the rear into a conservatory, doubling as a spacious reception porch. There's ample space for comfy chairs and a table, and it's the perfect spot for a morning cuppa. To one side is a useful built-in storage cupboard for household items. The kitchen / breakfast room has been very well looked after and is fitted with a range of light birch effect modern units, with work surfaces incorporating an immaculate stainless steel sink unit, built in electric hob and double oven. There is space for an under counter fridge and freezer, and a central island unit providing further extra storage.

The adjoining L-shaped living / dining room is particularly spacious and makes the most of the fine views. The tiled open fireplace offers scope for those who might like to install a woodburning stove. The inner hall has its original parquet style woodblock flooring and includes both a cloaks cupboard and airing cupboard housing the hot water cylinder. The hall provides access out to the garden via a front porch, a lovely spot to sit and watch the birds. There are three good size bedrooms and a bathroom with separate shower cubicle.

Outside - The property is accessed via a private cul de sac, with a right of way leading to the driveway for this property. The property occupies a good size plot, with its own driveway parking to the rear providing access to the good size single garage which also incorporates a separate utility area to the side. The utility area includes space for a washing machine and houses the gas boiler for the central heating system. Adjoining the utility area is a useful extra WC, perfect for those times when you're working outside. The majority of the gardens lie on the south and west side of the property, and have been landscaped over the years to create areas of rockery, flower beds, patio and lawn. The top patio includes a small ornamental fish pond. The lower area of garden was formerly used for vegetable gardening, making the most of the sunny position.
