Garston Street, Shepton Mallet, BA4

Situated in an older part of the town yet still close to the town centre, this stone cottage offers well-proportioned living space some of which would benefit from cosmetic updating. However, there is a modern first floor bathroom and a larger than average courtyard garden for the properties in this area.

Entering the property via the front door, you are welcomed into a spacious entrance hallway providing access to the principal ground floor accommodation, staircase rising to the first floor and a useful understairs storage cupboard. To the left is the bright and well-proportioned sitting / dining room, benefiting from windows to both the front and rear aspects, allowing plenty of natural light. The room also features a fireplace creating a focal point with inset gas coal effect wood burner, wooden surround, mantel and raised hearth. To the rear of the property, the kitchen comprises a range of base, drawer and wall units with round bowl and round drainer inset into work surfaces. There is a wall mounted gas boiler, space for a range of freestanding white goods. A double-glazed window overlooks the courtyard, while a door provides direct access.

A split staircase leads to the first floor landing, where there are two good sized double bedrooms, a modern fitted family bathroom and a useful cupboard providing additional storage. The family bathroom has recently been updated and comprises a modern three-piece white suite including a “P” shaped panel enclosed bath with curved glass shower screen and shower fittings, wash hand basin in vanity unit and a low level wc. The room is complemented by contemporary tiling, wood effect flooring, a wall mounted mirrored cabinet and a frosted double glazed window providing natural light and privacy.

OUTSIDE

The rear courtyard is larger than those usually on offer with this style of property, with space for bbq, garden furniture and pots. There are attractive exposed stone walls incorporating a raised flower bed. This space is currently open with the neighbouring property, but we believe a fence could be erected to make it fully enclosed and private for the new owner. There is designated parking across from the property.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
