A traditional stone terraced cottage updated for modern living, set a short stroll from Ilminster’s market square and countryside footpaths. Recent renovations include a contemporary kitchen, bathroom, gas central heating and double glazing while retaining character touches such as exposed beams and a wood-burning stove. The layout is compact and efficient across two floors with two double bedrooms — ideal for a small household or first-time buyer seeking move-in readiness with period charm.
The rear garden is a standout feature: approximately 150ft in length, southerly-facing and offering far-reaching valley views, a decked seating area, a timber studio/summerhouse and useful outbuildings. That outdoor space provides rare scope for gardening, home working or adding value, especially given the property’s town-centre location where sizable gardens are uncommon.
Buyers should note the house footprint is small (about 602 sq ft) with modest room sizes and standard ceiling heights, so it suits those comfortable with compact living rather than large-family occupation. The building is stone-built and likely lacks wall insulation, and the listing mentions past potential damp issues; while the property has been modernised, prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves on damp and insulation measures.
Practical extras include very cheap Council Tax (Band A), fast broadband, mains gas central heating and freehold tenure. Located in a conservation area, the cottage benefits from town amenities on the doorstep, good local schools and easy access to country walks and routes out to the A303/A358 for commuter links.
