2 bed detached house for sale

Silver Street, Ilminster, Somerset TA19

If you are over 60 and looking for a project, we advise you to view this well-proportioned and enviably positioned cottage in the heart of Ilminster with access to communal gardens and offered with no onward chain.

A well-proportioned two bedroom cottage for the over 60’s with access to communal gardens and situated in the very heart of Ilminster. In brief the property comprises an entrance hall, kitchen/dining room and sitting room to the ground floor with two bedrooms (one ensuite) and a family bathroom to the first floor. Although now in need of complete refurbishment, 2 Victoria Court offers an exciting blank canvas and manageable project for those looking to stamp their own design plans on a home. The kitchen is a good size and has plenty of space for a dining table whilst the spacious, dual aspect sitting room would work well for relaxing in with family and friends. Both bedrooms are considered to accommodate double bedrooms, with the larger having the luxury of its own ensuite. We would encourage those who are looking to position themselves in the heart of the thriving town of Ilminster to view.
