Summary - 54 COWL STREET SHEPTON MALLET BA4 5ER
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Compact, charming home with private tiered garden near town and countryside paths.
Two double bedrooms with built-in storage
Tucked away on Cowl Street, this stone-built cottage offers authentic period character and a compact, easy-care home in Shepton Mallet. The lounge/diner centres on a fireplace with a wood-burning stove, and the adjoining cottage kitchen is practical with an integrated oven, Belfast sink and appliance space. Two double bedrooms sit upstairs alongside a bathroom with shower-over-bath and useful built-in cupboards.
Outside, a delightful two-tiered garden gives private outdoor space and interest, with additional side storage. The location is a key asset: directly opposite the lane to the East Mendip Way and a short walk from the town centre, local shops and well-regarded schools. Castle Cary station and Bath/Bristol remain within easy driving distance.
Practical buyers should note the house is small with low ceilings and compact rooms, typical of its age. The stone walls are original and likely uninsulated, and the double glazing install date is unknown — further insulation or updating may be needed. The plot is modest and maintenance of older fabric will be required, though council tax is low and mains gas heating is in place.
This property will suit a first-time buyer, downsizer or investor seeking a characterful home with renovation potential in a popular Somerset town. It offers immediate charm and scope to improve energy performance and internal layout to increase comfort and long-term value.
