Situation - 6 Belmont Terrace enjoys a peaceful setting on the edge of Shepton Beauchamp, tucked away at the end of a quiet lane yet within walking distance of village amenities. The property occupies an elevated position facing south, offering beautiful views over the surrounding countryside and easy access to scenic walks in every direction - perfect for countryside and dog lovers alike.
Shepton Beauchamp is a highly regarded village within easy reach of the A303, and conveniently located between Taunton and Yeovil. The village has a vibrant community and a good range of amenities including a shop, pub, hairdresser, church, school, and village halls. The nearby village of Barrington is home to the award-winning gastro pub The Barrington Boar and the National Trust's Barrington Court, both within walking distance. The towns of South Petherton and Ilminster offer a wider selection of independent shops, cafés, and services.
Description - Built in the 1920s with brick and render elevations beneath a tiled roof, 6 Belmont Terrace has been thoughtfully extended in recent years to create generous and flexible accommodation. The property includes a large double garage, ample off-road parking, and four double bedrooms - including a superb master suite with dressing room and en-suite bathroom.
During their ownership, the current vendors have installed a wood-burning stove (with new flue liner) and fitted LVT flooring in the sitting room and bedrooms. Throughout the house, original stripped pine doors add character and charm.
The property sits within a generous plot, and the garden is a real feature - private, enclosed, and with a lovely paved patio that enjoys uninterrupted views over adjoining fields. The elevated position and south-east orientation ensure the home feels bright and welcoming throughout the day.
Accommodation - The front door opens into a lobby with stairs rising to the first floor. The sitting room is a light space with beautiful south-facing rural views and a brick fireplace with tiled hearth and wood-burning stove. A door leads through to the kitchen/dining room, overlooking the rear garden and fitted with cream Shaker-style units, tiled splashbacks, and work surfaces. There is space for a cooker, fridge, and dishwasher. The tiled floor continues into the utility room, which provides additional storage units, a stainless-steel sink, space and plumbing for a washing machine, and houses the wall-mounted oil-fired boiler. A door leads to the cloakroom (WC) and to the integral double garage.
Upstairs, the staircase splits left and right. To the left, the original section of the house offers three double bedrooms and a family shower room. Bedroom 2 enjoys wonderful views to the front with exposed A-frame timbers, while Bedrooms 3 and 4 overlook the rear garden and feature original picture rails. The shower room includes a large tiled cubicle, wash hand basin, WC, tiled surrounds, and an airing cupboard housing the hot water tank.
To the right, stairs lead to the extended master suite, a beautiful dual-aspect room with far-reaching countryside views and access to a loft (insulated, with pull-down ladder). The adjoining dressing room overlooks the garden and offers ample space for wardrobes, while the en-suite bathroom includes a bath, WC, wash hand basin, fully tiled shower cubicle, and linen cupboard.
Outside - To the front, a sloping concrete driveway provides off-road parking for up to four vehicles and leads to the integral double garage (with electric up-and-over door, power, and light). Brick retaining walls, mature hedging, and trees frame a small front lawn enclosed by a picket fence - the perfect spot to sit and enjoy the view. Gates to the side lead to the rear garden, which wraps around the property and is fully enclosed with recently replaced close-board fencing and post-and-rail fencing to the eastern boundary, making it secure and dog-proof. The garden is mainly laid to lawn with a mature holly tree and a large paved patio to the side. There are outside power points, lighting, and a discreetly positioned oil tank.
The garage offers potential for conversion to further ground floor living accommodation, subject to the necessary consents.
