Summary - 917, Downhead, SHEPTON MALLET BA4 4LQ
2 bed 1 bath End of Terrace
Characterful stone cottage with generous gardens and peaceful rural outlooks.
Outstanding far-reaching countryside views across adjoining fields
Tucked into the Mendip Hills, this stone-built cottage offers an appealing mix of period character and peaceful rural outlooks. The living room centres on an attractive fireplace and the kitchen-diner, with original flagstone flooring, opens directly to the gardens — ideal for easy, relaxed countryside living.
Outside, gardens wrap around the cottage and back onto open pasture, providing privacy and exceptional far-reaching views. Parking for two vehicles is provided on land opposite the cottage. Practical comforts include double glazing installed after 2002 and a modern first-floor shower room, while fast broadband and reasonable road links to Wells, Bath and Bristol keep the location connected.
Buyers should note the property is compact in overall size and retains traditional, solid stone walls that are assumed to be uninsulated; this, together with oil-fired central heating, may mean higher energy costs and potential scope for upgrading insulation. Parking is off-street opposite rather than on-plot. For purchasers seeking a characterful, manageable rural home or a retirement/downsizing move, this cottage offers a rare countryside setting with genuine scope to improve energy efficiency and personalise interiors.
