Wells 5.5miles, Frome 12miles, Bruton 8miles
A charming and atmospheric period house of great character, quietly tucked away along a small no-through lane within easy reach of the centre of the historic market town of Shepton Mallet. With flexible accommodation and one bedroom annexe with sitting room.
Maplestone is a most appealing Grade II listed house originally a row of cottages believed to date from at least the 17th century. The property retains a wealth of original features including flagstone floors, exposed beams, stone mullion windows and impressive fireplace, all of which combine to create a house of great warmth and individuality.
