Characterful, end of terrace 3 bedroom home with a nice garden set on the edge
of this little community and offering parking and a nice outlook.
Believed to be approx 200 years old, The Mead is set just on the outskirts of
Ilchester (Lindinis to give the town its original Roman name).
Forming part of a small community of blue lias stone built cottages the area
is set in the countryside yet close to the A303, A37 and with great bus links
within a short walk.
As an end of terrace, this property benefits from additional natural light and
would make an ideal space for an older couple seeking to downsize or for a
family who need extra bedroom space.
**Approach**
The Mead is a small community of blue lias stone cottages and offers a walk
friendly atmosphere. This property can be accessed from the 1st entrance which
takes you across the neighbouring properties or from the 2nd entrance which
means you enter alongside your rear garden.
The road is maintained and you have externally 2 parking spaces on a gravel
bed, frontage of lawned area and external storage shed all to the front.
A door to the side of the building provides access to the living area.
**Ground Floor**
With an entrance cubicle providing a second door through which you then enter
into the main living room which has a recently installed double glazed French
door. This was installed by the current owner to provide direct access to the
rear garden and also benefits by increasing the internal natural light. When I
was there visiting, I kept getting distracted by the views to the rear garden
and the wildlife on show.
Also in the sitting room is a door opening to the stairs which take you to the
1st floor.
When accessing from the front entrance, you can then turn left and into the
kitchen and separate utility area all set over a tiled floor which provides a
downstairs WC and also houses the gas combi boiler.
**First Floor**
Being a 200 year old cottage you would expect the rooms to be small and dark,
well, what a nice surprise the main bedroom is. Wide, long and comfy with a
lower ceiling and stunning outlook to the rear. Also on this floor is the
bathroom and a 2nd bedroom.
**Top Floor**
Quite a large space this, largely unaffected by the roof pitch making this a
suitable space to accommodate two large beds or as a home office with
occasional bedroom and benefitting from front and rear aspect velux type
windows.
**Rear Garden**
The garden has been designed by these former garden centre owners into a well
stocked, easy to maintained oasis with lots of wildlife on show. Primarily
laid to lawn with mature shrubbery and a small fish pond to the rear and a
nice, primarily Southern aspect.
**Parking**
Set across the drive from the home is the parking area which can easily
accommodate 2 cars, then has a lawned area with walkway through the centre and
a large timber shed.

The area surrounding the Mead is registered as Zone 3 for Flood Risk. This
means that the land and the area around may be within 20 metres of a river or
a flood defence. There is a flood defence surrounding the development and the
external area is set aside as a flood plain, designed to take excess surface
water. We have been informed there is no history of this or the neighbouring
properties having been flooded in the last 30 years. The area surrounding The
Mead is a designated water storage area. We would of course suggest that any
purchaser should carry out their own searches to their satisfaction.
