Chain-free two-bed bungalow with large garage and garden in peaceful Horton — ideal downsizers..
Chain-free detached two-bedroom bungalow on a large plot
Nestled down a private driveway in the popular village of Horton, this detached two-bedroom bungalow offers comfortable single-level living on a larger-than-average plot. The property is offered chain-free and benefits from a triple-aspect living room, conservatory dining space and a generous garage with power and electric door — appealing for downsizers who value space and low-stairs living.
The interior is largely serviceable with modern kitchen units, fitted bedroom wardrobes and an updated shower room. UPVC double glazing and oil-fired central heating provide basic efficiency and comfort; the oil boiler is housed externally at the north side of the property. The rear garden is mainly lawn with mature shrubs and a patio immediately outside the conservatory, offering private outdoor space and room for light gardening.
Buyers should note a few practical considerations: the exterior and some internal finishes are dated and would benefit from cosmetic modernisation to suit contemporary tastes. The vendors report suspected subsidence affecting the corner of the double garage — quotes for repair are being sought, but prospective purchasers should commission their own surveys and obtain independent costed advice. Heating is oil-fired (private tank), so running costs and fuel logistics are a factor compared with mains gas areas.
Situated within easy driving distance of Ilminster and local village amenities (primary school, pub, post office and clubs), the bungalow suits downsizers seeking tranquility without isolation. There is a nearby proposed development (application ref 23/01649/FUL) to the north of Broadway Hill; it is unlikely to directly affect outlook but is noted for full disclosure. Overall, the property offers a practical, single-storey home with scope to modernise and improve value, sold with no onward chain.
