Garden Ground, Shepton Mallet Property Description: Guide Price: £450,000 - £475,000.

8 Garden Ground is an attractive stone-clad home with a charming cottage style appearance, occupying a lovely position within a small, quiet and friendly cul-de-sac.

The current owners have undertaken an extensive programme of renovation and improvement, including a substantial two-storey extension, creating a beautifully presented home with well-proportioned accommodation suited to modern family life.

The property has been updated throughout, with improvements including new windows, an entrance porch, driveway, landscaping and a reconfigured garage, as well as the extension to the kitchen and principal bedroom.

An entrance porch leads into the house, where the accommodation flows through to a comfortable, double-aspect sitting room with a gas stove-style fire set within a brick fireplace.

The separate dining room is also double aspect, with French doors opening out to the garden terrace, making it a lovely space for family meals and entertaining.

The extended kitchen and breakfast room is a particular highlight, providing a spacious and sociable area with a range of fitted units, a range style cooker, integrated dishwasher and breakfast bar.

French doors open directly out to the terrace, connecting the kitchen with the garden during the warmer months.

Practical additions include a separate utility room, walk-in larder and downstairs cloakroom. A new boiler was installed in 2025, with heating controlled by a Hive system.

On the first floor are four bedrooms, including two with ensuite shower rooms.

The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, with a vaulted ceiling incorporating rooflights, a feature panelled wall and two fitted double wardrobes.

A sliding door leads through to the contemporary ensuite shower room. The second bedroom is another comfortable double, with fitted wardrobes and an ensuite shower room with a corner shower.

There are two further bedrooms, one a good-sized double and the other a smaller double, together with a family bathroom with a shower over the bath and an airing cupboard.

The loft is boarded and accessed via a fitted ladder, providing useful additional storage.

The owners understand there may be scope for conversion to create further accommodation, subject to the necessary structural investigations and consents.
