This unique property comes with a good plot, a good position and good potential.

The detached chalet-style house occupies a plot of just under half an acre in arguably one of the best spots in the beautiful and sought-after village of Dowlish Wake, just two miles south-east of Ilminster.

The charming dwelling has been a well-loved family home since it was built, and now it’s time to hand the baton to a new owner who may see the potential and scope to reconfigure the house or add an extension.

Inside, the light-filled sitting room has a large westerly-facing bay window and a Minster stone fireplace housing a wood-burning stove. There is a further reception room with a Rayburn Nouvelle stove on one side. The galley-style kitchen has a good range of pale-coloured units, matching worktops and several built-in appliances. Also on the ground floor are two double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and a family bathroom.

On the first floor, there is a large open-plan area at the top of the stairs offering scope to create a large principal bedroom suite or two separate bedrooms. A further good-sized double bedroom sits on the other side of the stairs.

Outside, spacious gardens surround the property that are mainly laid to lawn, interspersed with mature apple trees and bordered by well-established hedgerows. There are lovely views over the open fields at the back of the garden. On the northern boundary there is a brook and a variety of mature trees and shrubs.

At the front, the driveway leads to a block-paved parking area that gives access to the double garage.

The property comes with no onward chain.
