2 Bed Bungalow For Sale

An incredibly rare opportunity to acquire this well-proportioned 2 bedroom detached bungalow with off-road parking, garage, incredible views, further potential and occupying one of the Ilminster’s most exclusive areas.

An incredibly rare opportunity to acquire a detached two bedroom bungalow with garage, good-size garden, outstanding views and positioned in a quiet cul-de-sac. In brief the property comprises an entrance hall, WC, kitchen, living room, family bathroom, two bedrooms and a garden room/conservatory. 25 Eames Orchard comes to the market for the first time in over 20 years, testament to what a tremendous and loved home it has been. Although now in need of general updating, it provides the perfect blank canvas for someone to stamp their own own design aspirations. The kitchen has its own access outside and is fitted with all mod cons whilst the spacious living room is a relaxing space to unwind and has ample room for both dining and reclining. There are two bedrooms at the rear, one double and one single which are both serviced by the family bathroom and WC. The second bedroom could also be utilised as a study or studio, depending on one’s needs and requirements. Beyond this the conservatory can be found. It’s a fantastic extra reception room, particularly through the warmer months, thanks to its views over the garden as well as Ilminster and the rolling hills beyond. It cannot be emphasised enough that bungalows, particularly occupying such a prime position, are an absolute scarcity in the area and we would strongly encourage those needing single-storey living, couples and retirees to view.

There are two doctor’s surgeries and a dentist. Other notable benefits include a library, weekly market, restaurants, pubs, cafes, bakeries, hairdressers, beauty salons, a cocktail bar, 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.

The property is approached by a private driveway for off-road parking which in turn leads to the garage and side access. The rear garden is surprisingly large and is laid to lawn and gravel and further complemented by an abundance of mature shrubs and flora. It is fully enclosed by wooden fencing – ideal for those with pets and/or children. Perhaps the most significant and attractive point about the garden is the breath-taking views over the roof-tops of Ilminster and the glorious Somerset countryside beyond. It’s an idyllic haven for whiling away the warmer months, alfresco dining and enjoying with family and friends. Must be viewed to fully appreciate.
