This charming, detached cottage is tucked away down a little-used country lane within the hamlet of Rapps, on the western side of the village of Ilton, which is just a few minutes’ drive from Ilminster.

The homely three-bedroom cottage is full of character features, it has a versatile layout and as it isn’t a listed building, there is scope for further extensions or remodelling in the future.

Inside, the principal reception room is very much the heart of the home with its stunning overhead beams and large inglenook fireplace housing a stove-style gas fire. There is a further sitting room or snug, with pretty stained-glass feature windows and a stone fireplace, that would equally make a great home office.

The pleasant dual-aspect kitchen has painted solid wood units, modern synthetic quartz-style worktops, built-in appliances and a useful pull-out butchers-style trolley with a matching worktop.

The breakfast room has plenty of space for a table and pretty display niches and leads to a naturally light garden room overlooking the attractive gardens. Useful as a day room, it's the perfect additional reception room and has two sets of doors that open to the garden.

On the first floor, the attractive landing with exposed ceiling beams provides enough space for a reading nook and leads to three double bedrooms and a modern family bathroom. The principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes and an ensuite bathroom.

Outside, the property sits on a plot of just under an acre that includes a south-east-facing formal garden featuring some beautiful specimen trees and shrubs including Magnolia, Prunus and Blue Cedar. There is also an attractive terrace, a lily pond, formal herbaceous borders, a productive vegetable garden, an area of paddock, a garden with mature apple trees and a timber outbuilding.

The driveway provides ample parking space and access to an attached double garage.
