An attractive opportunity to secure a single enclosure of level to gently sloping permanent pasture and extends in total to approximately 1.72 acres (0.70 hectares). The land parcel is enclosed by mature hedgerows and stock proof fencing in part. The land benefits from direct road access off the public highway known as Winterhay Lane onto a well maintained (unowned) track leading past neighbouring residential dwellings. We understand that the land is classified as being Grade III on the Provisional Agricultural Land Classification. We further understand that the land is subject to a right of access from the gate to the rear of the neighbouring property.

The land off Winterhay Lane is situated in a sought after rural setting within the quaint county town of Ilminster, in Somerset. The property occupies a convenient position approximately 1 mile north-west of the centre of Ilminster, offering a comprehensive range of services and amenities, including a supermarket, independent shops, pubs and leisure opportunities. The property further benefits from excellent road connectivity, with the B3168 located approximately 0.25 miles to the south providing direct access to Southfields Roundabout to the west, connecting directly to both the A303 and A358. The property therefore enjoys convenient links to the surrounding towns of Chard and Taunton, which offer a more extensive range of amenities, including supermarkets, schools, healthcare facilities and leisure opportunities.
