Whitstone Road, Shepton Mallet, BA4

A well-presented detached bungalow, enjoying a private position tucked away just off a main route, while offering excellent access to local amenities. The property has been extended to provide deceptively spacious and flexible accommodation which must be viewed internally to be fully appreciated. The layout includes three double bedrooms, a generous sitting room, dining room, kitchen, conservatory, family bathroom, cloakroom and a useful loft space. There is no onward chain.

The property is approached via a private driveway with electric gates, opening onto a brick-paved area providing ample parking for several vehicles and leading to an oversized garage, which offers excellent storage and practicality.

A welcoming entrance porch leads into a central hallway, creating an immediate sense of space and flow. From here, the accommodation is well arranged, with the hallway leading straight ahead to the bedrooms and family bathroom, with the dining room positioned to the front, while a hallway to the right gives access to the main living and reception area, including the kitchen, cloakroom, sitting room and conservatory, along with loft access.

The dining room is positioned to the front. This is a well-proportioned, light-filled space with a double aspect, offering excellent versatility and easily serving as a fourth bedroom if required.

The three bedrooms are all well-proportioned doubles. The principal bedroom benefits from a wall of fitted wardrobes, while bedroom two overlooks the rear garden and also features built-in storage. Bedroom three, currently used as a home office, includes floor-to-ceiling mirrored wardrobes, making it both practical and adaptable.

The family bathroom is generously sized and well appointed, featuring both a panel-enclosed bath and a separate double shower, along with a vanity unit incorporating twin wash hand basins and WC. The room is fully tiled and enhanced by LED lighting, while a large obscure glazed window allows for plenty of natural light.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of modern white gloss wall, drawer and base units, complemented by dark work surfaces. Integrated appliances include a single oven, dishwasher and freezer, with space for an American-style fridge freezer and space for a microwave. A large window provides a pleasant outlook and ensures the space is light and functional.

A door from the inner hallway leads to steps rising to a useful loft space, providing excellent additional storage and suitable for hobbies, and also housing the Vaillant combi gas central heating boiler. There is also a lobby area with space for hanging coats, along with a door providing convenient access to the garden. A cloakroom is positioned here, making this a practical and well-considered part of the home.

The hallway leads through to the impressive sitting room, which measures over 19ft and forms the heart of the home. This expansive, light-filled space enjoys a large picture window overlooking the garden, allowing for an abundance of natural light. Centred around a feature fireplace with wood burning stove, the room provides a warm and inviting focal point. There is ample space for a variety of seating arrangements, making it ideal for both everyday living and entertaining, while the continuation of wood-effect flooring enhances the sense of space and cohesion throughout.

French doors open into the conservatory, an excellent additional living space enhanced by an insulated roof, allowing for comfortable year-round use and enjoyment of the garden. This bright and versatile space offers the perfect setting for relaxing or entertaining and connects seamlessly with the outdoor areas.

Overall, this is a spacious and versatile home, ideally suited to a range of buyers, offering well-balanced accommodation, excellent storage and a private setting, all within easy reach of local amenities and transport links.

Outside

The south-facing rear garden is designed for ease of maintenance and enjoyment, featuring a combination of patio and lawn areas, well-stocked raised beds and two separate seating areas, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. The garden is fully enclosed and benefits from side access on both sides of the bungalow, as well as a gate providing convenient access towards Collett Park.

The garage is a particularly strong feature, being of generous proportions and fitted with an electric roller shutter door, power and light, along with a window and personnel door to the rear garden, offering excellent practicality.

The property further benefits from double glazing throughout.
