This attractive mid-terrace cottage occupies a quiet position in Shepton Mallet and suits a first-time buyer or someone downsizing who values character and a manageable garden. The open-plan ground floor centres on a stone fireplace and raised hearth, creating a cosy main living space that combines kitchen, sitting and dining functions. A double bedroom and first-floor bathroom complete the compact layout.
The property includes a detached garden accessed via a pedestrian walkway, offering a private outdoor space and scope for landscaping or a small kitchen garden. Practical benefits include mains gas central heating, double glazing installed after 2002 and all mains services connected. Council Tax is very low, helping to keep running costs down.
The cottage is small (approximately 315 sq ft) and shows signs of age: the kitchen and fixtures are dated and the home will benefit from modernization and possible insulation improvements to the stone walls. The layout is simple with only two main rooms, so storage and living flexibility are limited. Buyers should expect renovation work to update utilities, decor and finishes to contemporary standards.
Located in a historic market town with good local schools and reasonable commuting links to Bath, Bristol, Wells and Frome, this cottage offers an affordable entry into character property ownership with clear potential for value gain through careful updating.
