Property Description: Guide Price £350,000 - £375,000. Nestled in the tranquil western reaches of Shepton Mallet, this charming end-of-terrace cottage seamlessly blends period character with contemporary comfort. Originally extended in the 1980s, and beautifully redecorated in recent years, this three-bedroom house is a homely retreat with a large, tiered garden at the rear. This house is one you must see to fully appreciate its charm.

You enter into a spacious sitting room which is flooded with natural light through French doors to the rear garden. Featuring exposed beams, an arched glazed opening to the dining room and a wood-burning stove set in a painted exposed wall, this room has no shortage of character and sets an inviting tone that is seen throughout the home. With space for a large family dining table, the double aspect dining room is ideal for family gatherings and acts as a through room connecting the sitting room to the kitchen.

The contemporary kitchen has been well thought out and designed, with stylish teal cabinetry, white quartz countertops, open timber shelving, and a Belfast sink. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher and a gas range cooker and hob. From the kitchen, the stable door leads out to the rear gravelled terrace with the garden beyond.

On the other side of the kitchen, there is a step down to a utility room equipped with a separate sink, space for a fridge/freezer, drinks fridge and washing machine, ample fitted units, and a WC.

Upstairs, the landing has access to built-in cupboards and a window seat with a delightful view of the terraced garden. The principal bedroom has retained many period features including original floorboards, exposed beams, and timber window seats. A walk-through dressing area leads to an en-suite shower room set round the corner from the sleeping quarters. There are two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom with a bath and overhead shower.

Outside: Thoughtfully landscaped across a series of gently rising terraces, each level of the garden has been designed with a different facet of outdoor living in mind, from sociable spaces for alfresco dining and play, to areas designed for gardening and quiet relaxation. Enclosed by mature planting and arranged to follow the natural contours of the land, the garden is a rare and tranquil extension of the home’s living space.

Accessed from the kitchen and dining room is a gravelled terrace with a raised pond and a small stone storage shed in one corner. Stone steps lead up to the first terrace which is laid to lawn while the next level has raised planters for growing vegetables as well as a seating area overlooking the lower levels. Stone steps sweep up to a further gravelled terrace featuring a sheltered seating area, a timber storage shed and a greenhouse. Beyond this, a fruit orchard provides shade to another lawn area that currently houses chickens. The final tier of the garden is very private and has a raised summer house with a west facing decked terrace - the perfect spot to enjoy the setting sun.

Ample on-street parking can be found in the immediate vicinity.
