Almost lost in the beautiful countryside of South West Somerset, the charming, quiet, country town of Ilminster is one of the gems of the West Country. And here, in a convenient location between the bustling centre and the peaceful countryside, you'll find The Maltings, a delightful collection of new 2 bedroom apartments and 2, 3 & 4 bedroom homes. The old market town of Ilminster has it all: a rich and fascinating history, a good selection of shops, pubs and restaurants, and all the amenities you need for family life. But perhaps one of the best reasons for choosing your new home here is the glorious surrounding countryside. Full of cider orchards, ancient woodlands, rolling fields and meandering rivers, it is ideal to explore on foot, on a bicycle or by car. Whichever you choose, you’ll eventually find a hidden but picturesque village where a pub lunch with a glass of 'Zummerset Zider' awaits you. There is a host of attractions in the area for great days out. Two fine National Trust properties are well worth a visit – Barrington Court and Montacute, both with beautiful gardens, shops and restaurants. Families will enjoy the Wildlife Park at Cricket St Thomas, where you can pay to be ‘Keeper for a Day’ and help care for the animals. Another attraction – perhaps more for the grown-ups! – is Perry’s Cider Mills, where they use local Somerset Redstreak apples to make award-winning cider the traditional way. And don’t miss The Fleet Air Arm Museum at nearby Yeovilton. All in all this is a superb location – a lovely place to live, especially in a superb new Strongvox home of your own at The Maltings. |
