Upstairs, the landing has been thoughtfully redesigned with extensive well-designed built-in cupboards, ensuring plentiful storage. The master bedroom sits at the front of the home, enjoying the same attractive view as the sitting room. It features fitted wardrobes and overhead units for both style and convenience. A former dressing room has been reconfigured into a versatile small single room, ideal as a nursery, home office, or occasional guest space—particularly useful with the additional landing storage nearby.
The second bedroom is another generous double, now enhanced with a full length window and Juliet balcony filling the room with natural light. To the rear, the spacious bathroom impresses with practical textured floor tiles and sleek grey wall finishes for easy upkeep. The suite includes a partially freestanding claw-foot bath with rainfall shower and glass screens, a concealed-cistern WC, and a wall-hung wash basin. Alcoves have been cleverly utilised with fitted shelving and pull-out storage, doubling as a linen cupboard with space for a washing machine beneath. Additional concealed units also provide discreet storage, along with access to the boiler.
Outside - Directly to the rear lies a sheltered courtyard, enclosed by high whitewashed walls that create a wonderfully private atmosphere, softened by raised beds brimming with lush planting. There's an outdoor power point and discreet storage for your recycling ec. What first appears to be a modest courtyard soon reveals more, as a pathway curves around the end of the kitchen, past a useful timber store and outside tap, before leading up steps to a second, elevated courtyard-style garden. Here, there is ample space for outdoor dining with a table and chairs, complemented by opportunities for container planting, all screened by ornamental trees and timber cladding.
Situation - The property is ideally situated in the heart of the attractive town centre, where local shops cluster around the historic market square and the 15th-century Minster church. As part of a designated conservation area, the town’s distinctive charm and character are carefully preserved.
A wide range of facilities can be found within easy walking distance, including an excellent butcher, delicatessen, cheese and dairy shop, homeware and antique stores, and a variety of gift shops. The town is also served by a central Tesco with generous free parking just a short stroll away, as well as a Co-op/Peacocks store nearby. Adjacent to Tesco are the local bowls and tennis clubs, while the town also offers a public library.
Cultural amenities include the Ilminster Arts Centre—complete with a café and vibrant programme of events—and a well-supported local theatre. Dining options are plentiful, with cafés, pub / restaurants, and takeaways throughout the town.
For families, Ilminster has a recently combined primary school for children aged 4–11, alongside several nurseries and pre-school options. There is also a superb range of private schools in the area for all age groups. Everyday services are also well catered for, with a number of hairdressers, beauty salons, a dental surgery, and a modern health centre on the southern edge of town housing two GP practices.
Regarded as one of South Somerset’s prettiest market towns, Ilminster combines historic character with excellent transport links, benefitting from direct access to both the A303 and A358 which in turn lead to the M5 at Taunton and the beautiful Jurassic coast to the south.
