The Gardeners Lodge,Wanstrow,SHEPTON MALLET,BA4 4TF
BA4 4TF
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Versatile family home with self-contained annexe and income potential.
Five bedrooms across main house plus two‑bed detached cottage
Set within about 0.39 acres of mature gardens, this 18th‑century detached property offers flexible family living and income potential. The main house retains period character—exposed beams, woodburner—and provides five bedrooms across two floors with generous reception space, a conservatory and a large kitchen with electric AGA. A newly renovated two‑bed detached cottage in the grounds creates immediate annexe or holiday‑let opportunities. Parking is plentiful via double gates and a private turning driveway.
Practical buyers will value the separate ground‑floor wing accessed from the driveway (ideal for multigenerational use or a self‑contained holiday unit), excellent mobile signal and substantial plot with terraces, kitchen garden and entertaining lawns. The property’s overall size and outbuildings offer scope for further improvement or lifestyle projects.
Important considerations: the location is rural with very slow broadband, EPC ratings of E for both dwellings, and the site is in a high flood‑risk area. Council tax is described as expensive. These factors affect running costs and suitability for full‑time remote working or buyers seeking low‑maintenance modern finishes.
For purchasers seeking a character country home with immediate rental/annexe income and room to adapt, Riverside Cottage presents a rare combination of size, setting and flexibility. Buyers prioritising modern energy performance, fast internet or minimal flood risk should factor potential remediation and running costs into their plans.
