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