Description

SHAPWAY HOUSE, QUEENS ROAD, EVERCREECH, NEAR BRUTON SOMERSET, BA4 6JR

A characterful and beautifully refurbished home, set in a central location within this popular village close to Bruton and Castle Cary.

Shapway House enjoys extensive accommodation including an entrance hall, cloakroom, sitting room, kitchen dining and living room, utility room, study, ground floor annexe including a double bedroom with en-suite, three first-floor double bedrooms and a family bathroom. 

There is ample driveway parking, further secure gated parking, and a fully enclosed garden with several garden stores. 


Accommodation
Shapway House, is situated close to the centre of Evercreech, while being within a short walk from the surrounding countryside. The property has been subject to an impressive scheme of refurbishment, maximising the character to provide a splendid family home now. While being configured to suit family living, this property also features a ground-floor annexe which could be further repurposed for a home business or indeed holiday letting (subject to obtaining the usual consents).

Entrance to the property is into a good sized hallway with solid oak flooring connects the main living rooms. The sitting room, to the right hand side of the hall has a large front facing window, and a fireplace with an insert electric wood-effect stove. A doorway leads to the ground floor annexe which has a small kitchenette and an adjoining double bedroom with a dressing room, and a beautifully fitted bathroom. The main room at the front would make an ideal studio, and potentially could be modified to create a space from which to work. There is a cloakroom and storage cupboards leading off the main room too. The annexe has its own front door too.

Across the hall there is the main family living room which consists of a dining and lounge area, connecting to the kitchen in a semi-open-plan style. The dining and seating area enjoys a light and bright dual aspect and solid oak flooring. Between the dining room and kitchen, there is a double-fronted inglenook fireplace with a dual-view wood-burning stove making this an exceptionally social living space. Within the kitchen, there is a double-width island with an inset Rangemaster cooker and a breakfast bar on the opposite side. The kitchen has granite worktops and tiled splashbacks. There is ample room for an American style fridge freezer, and within the units there is an integrated dishwasher. Further character is added by the exposed stonework along the opposite wall. From the kitchen, an inner hallway leads to the utility room, staircase to the first floor and a rear door leading to the garden. Off of the lounge area there is a study which has French doors leading out to the garden. 

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, two of which being large double rooms enjoying vaulted ceilings which have been opened up as part of the refurbishments, exposing the beautiful beams. At the entrance to the master bedroom, there are two deep wardrobes providing ample storage. Above the guest room, there is a mezzanine which is also ideal for storage, but has previously had ladder access to make it a sleeping loft. The family bathroom also enjoys a vaulted ceiling and is fully fitted to a high standard with a bath, separate walk-in shower, basin and w/c.

Outside
The property benefits from five points of access, front side and rear. To the front of the house, there is a landscaped tarmac driveway which is large enough to park several vehicles and to the left-hand side of the house, there is a further driveway, secured with an entrance gate.

To the back of the property, there is a walled garden. Within the garden there are lovely private seating areas, stone paths, and in addition there are several useful stores.
