Description

This Grade II listed former Coaching Inn, Darlington House, presents a remarkable opportunity for investors and renovators. Built in the early 1800s, this linked-detached property boasts an expansive layout of nearly 4000 sq. ft., featuring five bedrooms and four reception rooms, which are ripe for modernisation. Included with the home are two self-contained studio annexes at the rear, perfect for guest accommodation or potential rental income. The property retains several charming original elements such as open fireplaces, sash windows, and flagstone flooring, yet it now requires updating to meet contemporary living standards. The generous ground floor encompasses three spacious reception rooms along with a farmhouse-style kitchen that features a Rayburn stove. Upstairs, the first floor accommodates five well-proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms—one being en suite to the principal bedroom which also includes a dressing area. Additionally, there is potential to convert the attic into usable space pending necessary permissions. Situated on a substantial plot of 0.52 acres in Ilchester, near amenities and major road links like the A303, this property holds significant renovation potential whilst offering great local schooling options. The established garden further enhances the property’s appeal with its enclosed stone wall and patio areas suitable for outdoor entertaining.
