4 bedroom detached house

In our opinion, one of Ilminster’s most prestigious and privately positioned detached homes including 4 bedrooms, stunning west-facing garden, parking, garage and flexible accommodation.


Situated in perhaps one of the most desirable addresses in Ilminster is this four bedroom detached, individually built home with garage and studio above, off-road parking and westerly-facing gardens. In brief the property comprises an entrance hall, kitchen/dining room, sitting room, utility, WC and garage to the ground floor and four bedrooms (one ensuite) and a family bathroom to the first floor with a studio room above. This immaculate and beautifully appointed home has seen the benefit of a stylish and contemporary upgrade by its current owners, something that is evident throughout. The bespoke kitchen/dining room is an utter joy and with a central island and views over the garden, it’s a fabulous space for entertaining. The kitchen has a lovely flow through to the sitting room thanks to double doors, which only enhances the feel of space and open-plan living. It’s the perfect room to enjoy throughout the seasons with bi-folding doors opening out to the garden - perfect for the warmer months and an inset wood-burner providing practical warmth and an attractive focal point -ideal for the colder weather. The utility and WC make up the more functional areas of the ground floor. The four bedrooms are all of excellent proportions with particular note going to the master bedroom which has the luxury of its own ensuite and inbuilt wardrobes. One of the smaller bedrooms could also be utilised as a study for anyone needing to work from home. The sumptuous family bathroom has the benefit of a separate shower and bath which will suit those with young children. The garage is incredibly spacious and would serve equally well as a workshop or gym and subject to the necessary consents, could be incorporated into further living accommodation. This would prove an exciting proposition, particularly as there is already a separate staircase and room above which would lend itself as a self-contained annexe – great for those looking for multi-generational living. Winsome House’s prestigious and exclusive setting, versatility and future scope will make it the perfect home for families, retirees and those looking to position themselves close to excellent local amenities and communication links.

The property is approached by a private, shared driveway giving access to off-road parking, garage and main entrance. The garden can be found to the west and is laid to lawn, decking and a gorgeous patio veranda. It’s the most superb spot for alfresco dining and entertaining, especially given its westerly aspect and almost entirely private plot. Those with children and/or pets will also appreciate that it is fully enclosed. A real joy – must be seen to fully appreciate.
