Description

Situated off Leg Square, the quiet, historic quarter of Shepton Mallet, stands this impressive Grade II listed period attached house. The original house was built ca. 1400 with the late Georgian section added around 1800

This beautifully maintained period home offers 3,405 sq ft of accommodation arranged over 3 floors and a cellar. There is the added benefit of 1,969 sq ft of the former coach house and stables with original fittings, separate garage, large stone outbuilding, and attached Victorian greenhouse considered one of the nicest in Somerset. The house is self contained within its walled garden, which amounts to 0.69 of an acre in total.

Inside the property there is a wealth of period features from impressive flagstones, open period fireplaces, sash windows and working shutters, stone walls, exposed beams as well as a decorative cornice and friezes. A spacious and welcoming entrance hall greats you with attractive mosaic tiled floor and serves the principal rooms of the house. The drawing room boasts two large sash windows, an impressive fireplace and a tall fitted corner book case. The dining room,situated in the older part of the home, enjoys a cosier ambiance as well as another impressive fireplace, wooden floors and window seats. There is a practical and well fitted kitchen that has space for a breakfast table and links well to the utility room and the rear garden/terrace. There is access from the hallway down to a large cellar.

To the first and second floors are the bedrooms and family bathroom. All are well presented and benefitting from open views and period features. There is also a practical cloakroom as well as a laundry room.

The property has been loving looked after and restored and is ready for its next chapter of ownership.
