This charming Grade II listed Georgian residence occupies an elevated position on East Street in Ilminster within 100 metres of its town centre and its wide range of amenities.
The semi-detached property, named The Manse, comes with a wealth of character features associated with a house of its age, including sash windows, flagstone flooring, original cast iron fireplaces, and dado and picture rails.
Inside, the entrance hallway makes a strong first impression with its tiled flooring and Georgian staircase with a curved bannister rising to the first floor. The hallway leads to three reception rooms including a delightful sitting room with sash windows flanked by timber shutters, an Adam-style stone fireplace, recessed bookshelves and exposed floorboards. The study is equally pleasant and has a sash window with shutters, a Victorian tiled fireplace and dado rails. The dining room is well-proportioned and has a sash window, a sealed fireplace and flagstone flooring.
The light-filled kitchen/breakfast room has a classic look and is refitted with a range of shaker-style cupboards, quartz worksurfaces, some integrated appliances and engineered oak flooring. There is access to a walk-in pantry with flagstone flooring.
On the first floor, there are three double bedrooms and a large family bathroom with a panelled bath and a large walk-in shower enclosure. Each bedroom has an individual character. Bedroom one has sash windows, a cast iron fireplace and a walk-in wardrobe, bedroom two has a part-vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, an ornate cast iron grate and recessed shelving, while bedroom three has a cast iron fireplace, fitted cupboards and bookshelves.
On the second floor, there is a large room, currently used as a fourth bedroom with a vaulted ceiling and a Velux roof light.
Outside, the rear walled garden faces due south and benefits from splendid views. There is a large decking area, a paved patio, a large lawn and a fine selection of trees including a well-clipped Bay tree, a Pittosporum, an Amelanchier, a Weeping Crab Apple and a Fig tree.
