3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Higher Beacon, Ilminster, Somerset TA19

A charming 3 bedroom home with garage, pretty gardens, parking, wonderful views and situated on a no-through road.

An attractive and enviably situated three bedroom home with detached garage, parking and pretty garden. In brief the property comprises an entrance hall, sitting room, dining room, kitchen, conservatory and WC to the ground floor with three bedrooms and a family shower room to the first floor. Although now in need of general updating, 11 Higher Beacon has been kept in excellent order throughout. The sitting room is a relaxing setting to unwind and watch the seasons unfold with the added luxury of a large bay window providing plenty of light and a brick surround fireplace providing an attractive focal point. The dining room will appeal to those who enjoy formal entertaining whilst the well-fitted kitchen also has room for a breakfast table – great for socialising over a morning coffee. It should be noted that, subject to the necessary consents, the kitchen and dining room could be integrated together to create open-plan living. The conservatory is a great additional reception room with French doors leading out to the garden terrace. The first floor offers two incredibly generous double bedrooms and a single, which are all serviced by the family bathroom. The single bedroom would also make an excellent study for those needing to work from home. It is also from the first floor one gets the opportunity to fully appreciate the sensational views over Ilminster and the countryside beyond, offering a real sense of peace and tranquillity. We would strongly recommend families, first time buyers and those looking to be in an exclusive position close to the amenities and communication links.
