Nestled on a quiet lane in western Shepton Mallet, this end-of-terrace cottage marries period charm with recent, thoughtful renovation. The ground floor flows from a characterful sitting room with exposed beams and wood-burning stove through a dual-aspect dining room to a contemporary country-style kitchen and sunroom. Practical additions include a utility/pantry and a downstairs WC — useful for family life.
Upstairs the principal suite feels like a private retreat with original floorboards, exposed timbers, a walk-through dressing area and an en-suite shower. Two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the first floor. Recent works include an electrical update (2020) and a damp-proof course, while gas central heating and double glazing provide modern comfort.
The large, multi-tiered garden is a standout feature: gravel terraces, lawns, raised planters, greenhouse, fruit trees, summer house and multiple seating areas provide diverse outdoor spaces for children, gardening and entertaining. Note the garden’s steep, stepped layout — attractive and usable, but not fully level and with several sets of steps between tiers.
Practical considerations are straightforward: freehold tenure, on-street parking, very low local crime and easy access to A37, Castle Cary rail links and Bristol Airport. A nearby passageway creates a flying freehold and No.17 has a right of access through that passage; buyers should be aware of this legal arrangement and the property’s traditional stone walls with assumed no added cavity insulation.
