2 bedroom detached house

An attractive, versatile and beautifully presented 2 (potentially 3) bedroom house with parking, pretty wrap around garden and situated in a highly desirable location. No onward chain.


An entirely unique, beautifully finished and highly attractive two/three bedroom detached home with plenty of parking, attractive gardens and situated in a prime position in one of the area’s most popular villages. In brief the property comprises an entrance hall with mobility lift, sitting room, kitchen/dining room utility, WC and store to the ground floor with two bedrooms and a family bathroom/wet room. Built with disability in mind, Laylands will understandably be of interest to those with specific needs. However, it has also been cleverly designed to easily be reconfigured into a more ‘standard’ home. The large open plan kitchen/dining room is incredibly well-fitted, with plenty of workspace, modern appliances and direct access to both the utility room and rear garden. It’s a sociable space for entertaining and enjoying with family and friends. The full depth, dual aspect sitting room is a great spot to unwind and benefits from a central feature fireplace. The entrance hall accommodates a disability lift which goes directly to the first floor whilst the WC makes up the remaining footprint at ground level. There are two very generous double bedrooms to the first floor which are serviced by an equally spacious family bathroom/wet room. The master bedroom has been specifically designed to be created into two separate bedrooms, and for those not needing the lift, further landing space could also be incorporated. It should be noted that the current owners built the property for members of their family and therefore no expense has been spared on the quality of finish.

Horton together with the village of Broadway form a very active community with facilities which include a Post Office/stores, primary school, doctors surgery, village halls, churches and two popular village inn/restaurants. The larger busy market town of Ilminster lies less than three miles to the east, providing a range of facilities fulfilling most day to day needs with a variety of shops. With the A303 and its connections to the M5 only one mile away Horton is well placed for the larger County town of Taunton with its comprehensive facilities, including shops, schools within both the state and independent sectors, county cricket ground, race course and mainline station (London Paddington), Chard 5 miles, Axminster and Crewkerne with mainline stations (London Waterloo) 9 miles, Yeovil 15 miles and the South Coast 18 miles.

The property is approached by a gated entrance leading to a resin base driveway with ample parking for a number of vehicles. There is access to the rear garden by a patio path that leads right around the property. The rear garden itself is laid to a covered terrace area, lawn and further complemented by mature shrubs and colourful flora. It’s a wonderful setting for alfresco dining and sitting out in the warmer months. Those with children and/or pets will also appreciate it is fully enclosed.
