A very exciting opportunity to acquire this three bedroom semi-detached house with large front and rear gardens, huge scope for improvement and situated in one of the most sought after villages in the area. In brief the property comprises an entrance porch, living room, kitchen, through-hall, WC, workshop and garage to the ground floor with three bedrooms and a family shower room to the first floor. Although now in need of complete modernisation, Oaklands offers one of the most exciting properties for those looking at a grand designs project. Such is the size of the plot, the property is ripe for extension (subject to the necessary consents) and will be hugely popular for families, developers and those wanting to create their dream village home.

Horton together with its sister village of Broadway form a very active community with facilities which include a Post Office/stores, primary school, doctors surgery, village halls, churches, two popular village inn/restaurants. The larger busy market town of Ilminster is three miles to the east, providing a range of facilities fulfilling most day to day needs with a variety of shops including a Tesco store, a medical centre, various churches and schools. With the A303 and its connections to the M5 only one mile away Horton is well placed for the larger County town of Taunton 10 miles with its comprehensive facilities, including county cricket ground, race course and mainline station (London Paddington), Chard 5 miles, Axminster and Crewkerne with mainline stations (London Waterloo) 9 miles, Yeovil 15 miles and the South Coast 18 miles.

The property is approached via a gated private driveway giving access to off-road parking, the garage and main entrance to the property. There is a well-manicured area of front lawn which could provide space for more parking should one require. To the rear is a large, south-westerly facing garden with a number of sheds and a covered decking area. Beyond the formal lawn is another area of garden which is currently untamed but would lends itself perfectly as an extension of the existing garden or vegetable patch etc. It is relatively private and is a great space for family gatherings, alfresco dining and enjoying through the warmer months.
