Detached bungalow for sale in Lamparts Way, Broadway, Ilminster TA19

Tucked away in a small cul de sac in one of our most popular villages this lovely bungalow has a southerly facing rear garden, and has undergone various significant improvements but still has a little bit of potential for you to put your own stamp on it.

The Property

A rare opportunity to buy a detached bungalow in one of our most popular villages, not far from the village amenities in Broadway and Horton and only 2.6 miles from the pretty town centre in Ilminster. Tucked away in a cul de sac location the property occupies a good plot with a pleasant southerly facing rear garden and whilst the current owners have made significant improvements to the property during their ownership there is still further scope for you to take over the baton and make the property your own in terms of cosmetics.

To the front a useful entrance porch is enclosed by UPVC double glazed sliding doors, giving a useful dry area for storage and making the property more energy efficient. The modern front door leads through into an entrance hall with a useful built-in cupboard for storage and a further cupboard housing the updated hot water system. Alongside this, the vendors have replaced the heating with modern more efficient programmable electric radiators.

Overlooking the front is a nicely modernised kitchen with a range of tasteful sage grey units and smart white metro tiling. There is a built in electric hob with cooker hood over, and double electric oven and space for your own washing machine and fridge freezer. Alternatively the space for the washing machine could potentially house your dishwasher as there is additional plumbing and drainage in the garage.

At the rear is a wonderfully light living room opening out onto the rear garden via patio doors with ample space for a dining table, and a fireplace housing a wood-burning stove. There are three good size bedrooms. A particularly roomy main bedroom with the framework for fitted wardrobes (currently open-fronted), and two other bedrooms one with additional built-in wardrobe. The shower room has two UPVC high level windows for natural light and is fitted with a modern suite including spacious walk-in shower cubicle with electric shower, WC and pedestal wash hand basin, alongside a chrome heated towel rail.

Outside

To the front a block paved driveway provides parking and access to the integral single garage with up and over door, power and light. The current owners have additional plumbing in the garage for a second washing machine and a door leads out to the side access path. There is a small lawned front garden with apple tree and slate chippings. A side gate by the garage leads through to a pathway providing access to the rear garden and side garage door. There is also an outside tap (both hot and cold water).

At the rear a paved patio makes the most of the sunny position, with steps leading down from the living room edged with wrought iron railings. There is a gravelled seating area, leading onto a lawned garden edged with well-stocked borders and seating areas.
