4 Bed Detached House For Sale

This is a rare chance for you to finish an incomplete new build property with good size garden, to your own specification

The Property - This new build property was granted planning permission in 2018 (reference 18/03502/FUL) and has been a labour of love by the current owner occupiers. There are still works to be completed including (but not exclusively) installation and connection of air source heating, replacement patio doors, external finishing, connection to the mains sewerage system, further wiring works and landscaping. However, the current owners are in residence and are using electricity for heating and hot water provision, alongside a woodburning stove for additional heat. We understand that the building control department of Somerset Council have been involved during the necessary stages but would not be due to reinspect until further works are completed. This is a chance for someone with the necessary skills and cash funds to take on the baton and finish to their own specification.

Accommodation - Entrance hall with galleried landing above. Rear lobby that leads to a practical downstairs cloakroom and a dedicated study overlooking the rear garden. Dual-aspect sitting room with feature fireplace with a woodburning stove and patio doors to the rear garden. Bright and sociable triple-aspect kitchen/dining room also provides garden access and is equipped with a range of fitted units, including a built-in electric oven and hob, plus space for both a dishwasher and washing machine. Four double bedrooms, three of which include built-in storage. Master bedroom with attractive en suite shower room, and separate family shower room with potential to convert it into a full bathroom, if desired.

Outside - The property is approached through private gates onto a driveway with access to the front door. The frontage is fully enclosed by a wall creating a good sense of privacy. There is a good size garden extending to the rear which offers a wealth of possibilities for a new owner. A non-compliant private drainage system is currently located at the rear pending connection to the mains sewer for which the vendor has relevant paperwork.

Situation - Ilton is a convenient village just a few minutes’ drive from Ilminster and benefits from facilities including a pre-school and primary school, cricket club, public house, and village hall. The pretty town centre of Ilminster offers a range of day to day amenities, the local stores being mostly centred around the market square and 15th century Minster church. They have everything you need from an excellent butchers and delicatessen, cheese and dairy shop, homewares and antiques stores, and gift shops. The town is also well served by a town-centre Tesco store with ample free parking just a short walk from the town centre as well as a town centre Co-op / Peacocks store and a range of facilities including tennis and bowls clubs, Arts centre and local theatre.
