A sizeable family home in a generous plot, set on the edge of a convenient and accessible village.

The Property - This super family-size home has been much loved and greatly extended over the past few decades. Set in a good size plot with ample parking to the front and a large garden at the rear with plenty of room for children and animals to stretch their legs, it's time to be handed on to new owners. Offering well-proportioned rooms including an impressive conservatory / garden room to the rear there is also scope for an attic conversion subject to the relevant consents.

Accommodation - The house has a more traditional layout at the front, in keeping with its original era, with a central front door opening into an entrance lobby. The property was extended to create bay windows in the two front reception rooms adding to the feeling of space. To one side is a spacious dual aspect living room with open fire, also with the option of a back boiler to provide additional hot water when required. Across the hall is a further formal dining room, flowing through to a large family room which in turn opens via bi-fold wooden doors into a particularly generous conservatory overlooking the rear garden. The useful utility room houses the oil fired boiler as well as being an excellent laundry room with space for your washing machine and space to hang clothes. There's also room for an additional freezer and storage should you need it. The family room is large enough to be used as an additional, less formal dining space and lies adjacent to the fitted kitchen overlooking the rear. The timber fronted units include an integrated fridge freezer and dishwasher. The side lobby includes a downstairs WC and useful walk-in cloaks cupboard with radiator, perfect for those wetter days.

On the first floor the spacious landing may lend itself to accommodating another staircase should a new owner wish to investigate the potential for converting the attic, which is currently boarded out and plastered with the benefit of a skylight window. Although only currently accessible by the loft ladder, their own children used this space as a playroom and currently it is perfect for additional storage space. There are four bedrooms currently, including an en suite bedroom to the front. A spacious family bathroom includes both a separate corner bath and corner shower cubicle.

Outside - A large gravelled driveway lies to the front of the property providing ample off road parking. A pathway leads to both sides of the house, where there is access to the front utility room door to one side, and the side entrance lobby on the other. A gateway leads through to the rear garden where there is a substantial patio area linking with the conservatory, perfect for outside dining and entertaining. Brick retaining walls frame the large lawn beyond, with a climber-clad timber arbour leading down the southern side of the garden. To one side is an aluminium greenhouse and timber garden shed.

Situation - The property situated alongside Wood Lane, on the north western edge of the village of Ashill. Ashill is a small village community which together with the hamlet of Windmill Hill has a population of just over 500. It’s brilliantly placed for those wanting to commute, having great road links via the A358 towards Taunton, the M5 and via the A303 to Exeter / London. There is a small and well-respected primary school, pre-school, pub and village hall, whilst the nearby historic market town of Ilminster has a superb range of independent shops including traditional hardware store, award-winning butchers and deli, grocers, restaurants / café’s and supermarkets. The nearby villages of Horton and Broadway also offer further local facilities including pubs, doctors’ surgery, cricket club and primary school.

Services - Mains electricity, water and drainage are connected. Oil fired central heating.

The oil fired boiler in the utility room provides central heating and hot water provision, although there is an additional back boiler on the open fire in the sitting room so that if the fire is lit this can additionally support hot water provision. There is also the option of an electric immersion heater but the vendors find they do not need to use this for hot water provision.

Superfast broadband is available. Mobile signal may be limited or unavailable indoors and you may prefer to use Wifi calling, but is likely to be available outdoors from all four major network providers. Information provided by Ofcom.org.uk.
