Limington Road, Ilchester, Yeovil, Somerset

THE AGENT SAYS...
1 Limington Road is an attractive and incredibly energy efficient property, boasting a rare EPC A-rating. In a world where energy prices are so uncertain and temperatures are climbing, this super house offers abundant value. A 5kW solar PV system with 9kWh battery storage provides the power, with the current owners able to export a surplus back to the grid (£50 in August 2026). The battery charges overnight at the cheaper off-peak rate and when conditions allow the EV charger can also be solar charged. These features allow flexible energy use, dependent on weather conditions and household needs, with overnight use being very cost effective. Even the hot tub as been considered in the energy efficiency strategy -heated by a dedicated air source heat pump with smart controls - and a pergola with adjustable louvres provides relief from the summer sun. The combination of extensive parking, energy set-up, dedicated office space, and the detached gym/leisure room makes the property particularly flexible for working from home and busy family life, with the garden set-up to actively enjoy rather than simply admire.

THE PROPERTY
The front of the property is protected by an enclosed brick porch that opens into the main entrance hall. The hall is a good size and has storage under the stairs and a handy WC/utility.

The living accommodation is fully open plan with the kitchen, dining room and sitting room combined, creating a wonderful family-friendly space. This is a generous space that has been beautifully zoned by the current owners. The kitchen has a good range of fitted units, oak worktops, integrated dishwasher, range cooker, space/plumbing for a washing machine, space for an American style fridge-freezer, and underfloor heating. The kitchen leads out to the patio. The dining area comfortably accommodates a table for six and the sitting room has plenty of room to lounge. Off the sitting room is the conservatory which has a solid roof and heating (electric underfloor and plumbed radiator) making it usable all year round.

On the first floor there are three double bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom is dual-aspect and benefits from fitted storage and an en-suite shower room. The main house loft is boarded for useful storage.

OUTSIDE
At the front of the property is an exceptionally large gravel parking area for up to nine cars or for larger vehicles. There is an EV charger on the side of the porch and a pedestrian gate leads to the rear garden. Attached to the side of the house is the bright and spacious dedicated home office which benefits from powered Velux windows with rain detection.

At the rear, a patio adjoins the house and conservatory, and benefits from a pergola with adjustable louvred roof to provide shade and protection from showers. Alongside the patio is a private hot tub area and the 21m2 dedicated leisure room (planning and building regs approved). The lawned garden has a putting green (with room to chip as well), eating-apple tree, greenhouse and raised beds for vegetable growing, and a timber store. The garden attracts plenty of wildlife including blue tits, doves and the occasional hedgehog.
