4 bedroom semi-detached house

2 OXFORD HOUSE, OXFORD STREET, EVERCREECH, SHEPTON MALLET, BA4 6HT

A charming four-bedroom semi-detached period property, set within the heart of this popular village close to Bruton and Castle Cary. 

2 Oxford House has plenty of character throughout and accommodation includes an entrance hall, sitting room, dining room, kitchen, four bedrooms, and two bath/shower rooms. There is also the potential to create an annexe. 

There is on-street parking, and a lovely lawned garden located to the rear.

Accommodation

Oxford House is an imposing Georgian property, set just a stone's throw from the heart of Evercreech village. The property has since been split into two properties, and number 2 forms the eastern side of the property and extends well back away from the village lane making it a deceptively large family home. Despite the character throughout the property is not listed, and has immense potential, especially for the advancement of a self-contained annexe to the rear where the owners have already converted the adjoining former candlemaker's cottage and added a bedroom and shower room. 

The front door enters a welcoming entrance hall, and on the right hand side there is the sitting room. This is a light and airy living space with a dual aspect, and period features including an ornate fireplace, picture rails, pretty cornicing, and window shutters. 

The kitchen is located at the end of the hall, and is fitted with a variety of fitted units with granite effect worktops and an electric cooker. There is a door from the kitchen opening out to the garden. At the far end of the kitchen another doorway opens to the dining room which has ample cupboard space, and French windows. 

A former candlemakers cottage has been incorporated into the main house and partially converted. The conversion includes a luxurious ground-floor shower room and a bespoke oak staircase rising to an impressive double bedroom. The stairwell and bedroom have attractive exposed stonework, and the bedroom has an impressive vaulted ceiling, adding to the appeal. Part of the cottage remains used for storage, but it could easily be further improved with the addition of a kitchen to create a fully self-contained annexe. 

The main staircase has storage underneath and rises to a landing with three more bedrooms, two double and one single. The master bedroom has a feature fireplace, a double aspect, and original timber floorboards. Each of these bedrooms are serviced by the family bathroom which has a bath, overhead shower, basin and WC.

Outside

To the rear of the property, there is a fully enclosed, westerly facing garden which is predominantly laid to lawn and ideal for children and pets. The boundaries are made up of a mix of new fencing, and lovely stone walling with deep borders set just within the perimeter. Immediately outside the cottage, there is a sunny seating area.
