This large stone-built townhouse converts historic character into flexible family living across three floors. The dramatic first-floor sitting room occupies the whole level, offering a rare, expansive entertaining space that can be zoned for sitting, dining and work. The master bedroom with ensuite and two further doubles make the second floor practical for family life or home-working.
Practical day-to-day living is served by a modern kitchen/dining room, ground-floor utility and cloakroom, plus allocated off-street parking for two vehicles. The property sits in generous front and south-facing rear gardens that are gravelled for low maintenance; rear access is via an external metal staircase from the second-floor landing. Gas central heating, double glazing (post-2002) and mains services are all in place.
Important considerations: the building dates from before 1900 and external stone walls are assumed to lack insulation, so thermal improvements may be needed. The home is leasehold with a share of freehold; maintenance contribution is £53.90 pcm (inclusive of ground rent). The immediate area has above-average crime and higher deprivation indicators, and the neighbourhood classification shows a transitional local population and constrained rental market, which may affect longer-term resale or lettability.
This townhouse is well suited to families seeking generous, characterful rooms and low-maintenance outdoor space close to Shepton Mallet town centre. Buyers looking for fully modern, low-energy fabric or a quieter postcode should weigh the fabric and local-area factors before viewing.
