Property description
A fantastic rare opportunity to purchase this light and airy 1960’s Woolaway bungalow situated on a large plot within a small Hamlet of 7 properties in Duck Lane on the outskirts of the sought after and picturesque village of Limington. Located at the end of a no-through lane: Pippins, Duck Lane is wonderfully peaceful and quiet being surrounded by open farm land. The property sits in the middle of an extremely well stocked organic garden including nectarine, plum and cherry trees. The property also benefits from a 20ft lounge-diner, full double glazing, oil fired central heating, a large workshop (formally a stable) with light and power and a large garage.
The accommodation briefly comprises an open reception hall, a good sized lounge-dining room with new wood burner and double glazed French doors opening into the garden. Leading off of the central hallway is a newly fitted kitchen, a useful utility room, a good sized recently fitted bathroom with standalone roll top bath, separate WC and 2 good sized double bedrooms.
The property has undergone much improvement by the current owners in recent years to include complete re-wiring, new kitchen, new bathroom, new double glazing throughout, new log burner, cavity and loft insulation as well as several new ceilings, new carpets and redecoration. Outside, the workshop has been extended and the garage has had a new roof. Both have the benefit of light and power. The organic garden has been very well stocked with a large selection of fruit trees and vegetable plants.
Pippins is situated in the middle of a large enclosed plot on the outskirts of the small and exclusive village of Limington. Limington itself has a church and a public house, but Ilchester is approximately one mile away and offers everyday facilities. Yeovil is the commercial centre for the area with excellent shopping and leisure facilities approximately 6 miles distant. The area is also well served by independent schools including Hazlegrove at Sparkford, the Park School at Yeovil and Millfield in Street. Road links in the area are good with the A303 Exeter to London trunk road being reached just outside Ilchester while the M5 (J25) can be found at Taunton. Yeovil Junction has a direct rail link to London (Waterloo), while Castle Cary has a direct line to London (Paddington). Bristol International Airport and Exeter Airport are both easily accessible.
Pippins has been thoughtfully improved in recent years by the current owners and the resulting property is of good standard throughout. Viewing cannot be stressed highly enough to appreciate the beautiful surroundings and the unique situation surrounding the property.
Present owners will be very sad to leave especially their gardens, lovely rural aspect and friendly neighbours but in need of a larger artist's studio.
Early viewing advised.
