The main bedroom includes both a wash basin and shower cubicle, complemented by a family bathroom featuring both bath and separate shower facilities. The outdoor space is equally promising; it features carefully landscaped gardens that provide ample scope for further enhancement or personal landscaping projects. A spacious paved terrace at the rear overlooks westerly gardens which include additional structures like a greenhouse and shed—ideal for gardening enthusiasts or families looking to create dynamic outdoor spaces. Located in Higher Chillington—a peaceful rural hamlet—this property enjoys proximity to both Ilminster and Crewkerne, each providing essential amenities including shops, schools, and recreational facilities. The quiet country lanes surrounding the area contribute to its tranquility while still ensuring convenient access to major road links via the A303 and A358.
