This substantial five-bedroom residence has been owned by the same family for many years and presents a fantastic opportunity for cosmetic updates to enhance its charm. The property features south-west facing gardens that wrap around the front and side, along with secure off-road parking accessed via a wooden gate.
Upon entering, you are greeted by a small lobby that opens through double doors into a generous sitting/dining room boasting original features such as flagstone flooring, stone mullioned windows with built-in window seats, and an inviting large open fireplace complete with a traditional bread oven and wood burner on a raised hearth. A staircase leads from this area to the first floor.
The layout continues with steps leading to a kitchen/dining room equipped with quarry tiled flooring and rustic pine cabinetry, including wall units that frame an integral sink unit, wooden work surfaces, and space for standard appliances alongside a gas-fired Aga. Access to the utility room provides practicality with plumbing for laundry facilities and additional storage options.
The first floor holds three well-proportioned bedrooms, two of which feature stone mullioned windows overlooking the garden—one also includes a charming cast iron fireplace. The third bedroom is currently utilized as a studio with roof lights allowing ample natural light. The family bathroom offers essential amenities while featuring an airing cupboard as extra storage. On the second floor, you'll find an airy landing suitable for use as a workspace along with the master bedroom boasting an en-suite shower room and an additional fifth bedroom.
Outside, the gardens provide significant potential for landscaping or further development while housing various plants and mature trees. The property borders a disused railway line, adding to its unique character. Given its location at the end of a no-through road, parking may be advised on the main road when visiting.
With gas central heating and all mains services connected, this property could benefit greatly from targeted improvements to modernize its interiors while maintaining its historical essence. Located in Shepton Mallet—a town well-connected to Bristol, Bath, and London—this home promises both comfort and investment potential.
