Welcome to The Coach House, a lovely 2 bedroom Grade II listed cottage in the very heart of the thriving Medieval Town of Ilminster, with stunning garden and offered with no onward chain.
A rather charming and quaint two bedroom cottage with a stunning garden and situated just a stone’s throw from the centre of Ilminster. In brief the property comprises two bedrooms and a utility to the ground floor and a living room, kitchen and bathroom to the first floor. The Coach House has been recently modernised by its current owner with further potential still to be realised should one wish. Its ‘upside-down’ configuration has been carefully considered to maximise the sense of space and position but there is huge flexibility and scope in the layout, subject to the necessary consents and one’s needs. Both the bedrooms are of good proportions whilst the living room is light and airy with direct access out onto the balcony. It would work very well for those looking for a lock-up and leave, investment or central residence in the heart of Ilminster.
Ilminster is a medieval market town, situated about 12 miles south east of the county town of Taunton. Surrounded by undulating open countryside designated a Special Landscape area, the majority of the town falls within a Conservation Area. Ilminster is well served by Tesco supermarket, co-op and various independent stores including dairy shop, traditional butcher, grocer, clothing boutiques and homewares store. There are two doctor’s surgeries and a dentist. Other notable benefits include a library, weekly market, restaurants, pubs, cafes, bakeries, hairdressers, beauty salons, gym and soft play centre. Creative types will enjoy Ilminster Arts Centre, a vibrant arts centre with its own café, art gallery and theatre. Local schooling can be found at Herne View a Church of England Primary School with secondary schooling found in the nearby towns of Crewkerne and Chard. Public Schools within easy reach include Chard School, Wellington School and Perott Hill whilst Kings Hall, Taunton School, Kings School and Queens School can all be found in Taunton. Ilminster has convenient road access to both the M5, A303 and A358. Mainline railway stations are situated at Crewkerne 7 miles (London Waterloo) and Taunton 13 miles (London Paddington). Berrys coaches offer a service to London twice a day. Bath, Bristol and Exeter offer excellent cultural and shopping facilities within easy travelling distance.
A surprisingly large and special garden in the heart of Ilminster awaits the buyer of The Coach House. Accessed through the bedroom, this magical, part-walled garden leads all the way down to the tennis club, providing a unique and relatively private setting for those who enjoy gardening, alfresco dining or simply relaxing through the warmer months. Laid to patio and lawn and further complemented by mature shrubs, colourful flora and potted plants, it also boasts a green house and garden shed. A rare find, especially given its central location within Ilminster.
