9, Shepherds Close, Norton St. Philip, Bath, Somerset, BA2 7PT

Positioned in a peaceful close in the sought-after village of Norton St Philip, 9 Shepherds Close offers contemporary comfort in a historic rural setting.

Completed in 2022 as part of a thoughtfully planned development of fourteen homes – with at least one purchaser required to be over 55 years old – the house has been designed to blend with the village’s character while offering a calm, effortless way of living.

The detached property sits within lovely front and rear gardens, redesigned by a local horticulturalist to create a tranquil outdoor retreat with seasonal interest and sun-filled seating spots.

The owner describes the setting as ‘quiet, friendly and surrounded by beautiful countryside.’ Inside, the house is arranged across two well-proportioned floors.

The ground floor feels generous, with a spacious open-plan kitchen and dining area flowing into a separate living room, each opening onto the west-facing garden via bifold doors.

A ground-floor bathroom adds to the flexibility; the layout was designed to allow the living room to become a third bedroom if ever required.

Upstairs are two large double bedrooms, each with its own en-suite. The principal suite has rural views, a walk-in wardrobe and a great bathroom and has an almost hotel feel to it.

A full-height stairwell fills the entrance with light, immediately setting a warm and welcoming tone.

Norton St Philip is one of Somerset’s most historic and desirable villages, home to the award-winning 700-year-old George Inn and the Fleur de Lys.

Everyday amenities include a Co-op, regular village bus routes and nearby Flourish farm shop and café, with Bath and Frome within easy reach.

The owner adds, ‘I was drawn to the countryside and the convenience – it’s rare to find both.’ With its peaceful garden, quality of light and strong community spirit, this is a home designed for comfort, ease and connection – somewhere to enjoy the quiet pleasures of village life while staying close to everything.

‘The layout is incredibly practical, with space to entertain and room to adapt in the future.’ ‘The garden is a peaceful retreat – stunning sunsets, seasonal planting and so easy to maintain and enjoy.’ ‘I’ll miss the neighbours, sense of village community and having easy access to wonderful country walks.’ ‘The village has a wonderfully active community, including monthly film nights, an art group, repair café and lunchtime concerts, and more.’ Additional Information: Please see Key Facts For Buyers on video link/media tab.
