15 Naisholt Road is one of the larger homes on the popular St Peter’s development in Shepton Mallet, occupying a favourable edge-of-development position with attractive views over the adjoining valley towards the surrounding hills.

The accommodation begins with a welcoming central entrance hall, featuring a staircase rising to the first floor and a convenient ground-floor WC located just off the hallway. From here, doors lead to the principal living spaces. The generous sitting room is dual aspect and enjoys excellent natural light, centred around a living flame gas fire, creating a comfortable and inviting space for everyday living.

At the front of the property is a separate dining room, which benefits from borrowed light panels through to the hallway, enhancing the sense of openness and light. The dining room flows seamlessly into the kitchen, which is well arranged with a breakfast bar, space for an American-style fridge-freezer, an integrated electric oven and a gas hob. From the kitchen, a door leads through to a useful utility room, which in turn opens into a rear lobby. This area provides an external door out to the rear garden and access to the staircase leading up to the annexe accommodation above the garage. The annexe, positioned over the double garage, offers particularly versatile space and comprises a double bedroom, a shower room, and an open-plan kitchen/living area—ideal for multi-generational living, guests, or potential home-working or letting options (subject to any necessary consents).

On the first floor of the main house, there are four bedrooms, including a master bedroom with en-suite shower room, as well as a well-appointed family bathroom.
