3 bed end terrace house for sale

Butts, Ilminster, Somerset TA19

A deceptively spacious end of terrace home with wonderful southerly facing views, just a short walk from the town centre facilities and local countryside walks.

The Property

In recent years, a loft conversion has transformed this 1950s property, creating surprisingly spacious and versatile living accommodation. Spread across three floors, it’s perfectly suited for a family, yet equally ideal for anyone seeking the convenience of walking into town or exploring the nearby countryside, while still having plenty of space to host visiting friends and relatives.

Accommodation

On the ground floor, a traditional entrance hall with stairs to the first floor sets the tone. To one side, the kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range of floor and wall-mounted units topped with blue granite-effect work surfaces. These incorporate a circular stainless-steel sink and drainer, a built-in gas hob with electric oven below, and a cooker hood above. There is space beneath the counter for a dishwasher and washing machine, as well as a dedicated area for an upright fridge freezer. The wooden flooring from the hallway flows seamlessly into the living room.

The living room spans the full width of the rear of the house and, being south-facing, is filled with natural light. A door and window open onto views of the garden and beyond. An understairs storage cupboard provides practical space, while a wood-burning stove, set on a paved hearth with a timber mantel, creates an attractive focal point.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing includes a shelved linen cupboard and leads to two generously sized double bedrooms, along with a modernised bathroom. The bathroom features stylish taupe landscape tiling, a chrome dual-fuel towel radiator, a bath with Mira electric shower, wash hand basin, and WC.

The top floor offers a further double bedroom, enhanced by dormer windows framing far-reaching views, as well as an en suite shower room with WC.

Outside

The property is accessed from the pavement at the front, and to the side a pathway leads around to the rear garden via a gateway. The neighbouring end of terrace house also has a right of way over this path to access her rear garden. The garden is over three levels, the first being a good sized paved courtyard style garden with plenty of room to entertain and eat outside, with steps down to a lower level which is enclosed by fencing. To one side a gate opens onto a shared pathway with the adjoining property, with steps down leading down to a currently uncultivated lower tier of garden.

There is also an external store with shelving and power connected.

Situation

The property is located alongside the High Street, with a nearby footpath and steps leading you down and into the town centre. Its elevated position affords fine southerly views across the rooftops of town towards the countryside beyond, including Herne Hill. The property is in the heart of the community, near to 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, boutiques and gift shops. There are plenty of countryside walks nearby, via the Dillington estate permitted paths and local public footpaths within easy reach.

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, 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.
