Description
A surprisingly roomy semi-detached family home with added extras such as a downstairs utility / WC and useful external storage, backing onto countryside at the rear.
The Property - Perfect for first time buyers or young families, this roomy semi was converted some years ago from two flats into one dwelling and therefore offers surprisingly spacious accommodation including the added bonus of a downstairs utility / WC and extra storage space outside.
Accommodation - An initial entrance lobby opens through into the hall, with understairs storage and a useful downstairs WC / Utility area with plumbing for your washing machine. Across the rear a good size kitchen / dining room has French doors opening onto the rear garden and is fitted with a range of modern white units incorporating an electric hob, electric oven and space for a dishwasher. A built-in alcove has been fitted with a louvre door to create a useful pantry cupboard. At the front of the property the sitting room enjoys a southerly aspect, with plenty of natural light.
On the first floor are three bedrooms, the two double rooms of a particularly good size and enjoying views across the village and countryside at the rear. The bathroom includes a modern white suite with electric shower over bath, concealed cistern WC and vanity wash hand basin, complemented by marble effect tiling.
Outside - There are gardens to the front, side and rear of the property. The front garden is enclosed by a mature hedge with shared pathway at the front leading to a pedestrian timber gate. The side garden has a path leading to the front door and continuing to the side door, giving secondary access to the entrance hall. Likewise, the side garden provides access via a gate to the rear garden with a range of external stores to one side.
There is residents parking available in spaces within the cul de sac on a first come-first served basis.
Situation - Donyatt has a surprisingly vibrant and active community and facilities including local pub, recreation ground and village hall, bowls club offering food and other opportunities for socialising, and beautiful old parish church.
The village is also located alongside a superb cycle path, which extends from Ilminster to Chard along the site of the old railway line and passes beautiful countryside and the Chard Reservoir nature reserve. It is a popular facility for dog-walkers, joggers and cyclists alike to enjoy both the local countryside and a bit of history along the way. Donyatt lies approximately 3 miles from the pretty market town of Ilminster (even closer along the cycle path or on foot) with its supermarket, high street stores and superb range of independent shops including award winning butchers, deli, bakery and fabulous old fashioned hardware store. Donyatt is only a mile or so from the Southfields roundabout on the junction of the A358 / A303 providing easy access to the M5 and beyond.
The beautiful Jurassic coastline is only 16 miles away to the south so the seaside is readily accessible in just 30 minutes or so by car.
Mainline stations in the area include Crewkerne on the London Waterloo line, or a faster service on the Taunton - London Paddington line.
