This first-floor maisonette in Whitstone House offers generous, characterful accommodation across two levels within a Grade II listed building. The sitting/dining room faces south and floods the main living space with light; upstairs provides a double bedroom plus a dressing room/study. Allocated off-street parking and a communal garden add practical outdoor space without maintenance responsibility.
The flat requires updating and is sold as a renovation opportunity — exposed floorboards and period details give strong scope to modernise while retaining historic character. Newly fitted electric heaters are in place, and the building also has a mains gas boiler and radiators; buyers should confirm the preferred heating arrangement during survey. Broadband speeds are reported slow.
Lease details are straightforward: a 999-year lease from 2015 and a below-average service charge of £862, which includes buildings insurance and water rates. Council tax is very low. Note that listed status brings planning and alteration limitations and may complicate certain works.
Well suited to a first-time buyer or someone seeking a sympathetic renovation in a central Shepton Mallet location, this apartment combines period charm with practical benefits — allocated parking, communal outdoor space and long lease security — but will repay investment to update services and finishings.
