Description

Property Description: Guide Price £280,000 - £300,000. Built in the 1800's, this four bed, Grade II listed property with courtyard garden is positioned in an historically rich area of Shepton and is just a short walk from the town centre. The Doulting stone façade and sash windows lend an immediate sense of charm, with the beautifully styled interior retaining period features such as flagstoned flooring, dado rails and traditional radiators. This townhouse has been fully renovated in recent years with close attention to detail and includes a new roof, insulation and a new boiler.

Through the striking front door is the hallway with its beautifully worn flagstone floor which continues into the living room with a central fireplace inset with a wood burner. This room has space for seating and a dining area and there is a useful storage cupboard. The ground floor has an open plan feel with light flooding in from front to back with a contemporary, glazed sliding door separating the kitchen from the living room.

The kitchen has shaker style blue cabinets with an integrated dishwasher and a stunning dual fuel single Aga in cream. There is a back door from the kitchen that leads out to a covered, decked outside area. The ideal place for al fresco dining come rain or shine.
