Queens Road , Evercreech, Somerset

Rich in history and brimming with charm, Shapway House sits proudly in the heart of Evercreech, a delightful Somerset village just moments from fashionable Bruton. This handsome residence has been recently reimagined into a characterful and comfortable home, boasting 3 beautiful bedrooms plus a 1 / 2 bed Annexe.

Shapway House, once a beloved coaching inn dating back to the 1800s, has been the host of many joyful occasions and served as the heart to the community for decades. In a similar vein, its new life as a family home, provides the space and envioronment for hosting joyous occassions or more intimite suppers alike. Steeped in character, the ground floor of Shapway House blends refined open-plan living with a warm sense of cosiness. The kithen / dining and living space flow seamlessly together, with a dual aspect log burner, original beams, deep set windows and oak flooring providing a richness of character. The bespoke kitchen is crafted with handmade cabinetry, granite worktops and a central island. A Rangemaster and integrated appliances ensure every culinary need is met.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a well-fitted utility and boot room, ideal for the practicalities of rural living. A separate study / home office or additional bedroom if required is also situated on the ground floor. With direct access to the private rear courtyard this room is a peaceful sanctuary. A cloakroom, finished with flair completes this generous living space.

Upstairs are three beautifully proportioned bedrooms with exposed timber beams and village outlooks. The two larger doubles enjoy soaring vaulted ceilings. The principal bedroom benefits from a dressing area with bespoke built-in wardrobes, and all are served by a generous family bathroom with both bath and walk-in shower.

To the right of the main house lies a wonderfully adaptable annexe with its own private entrance, or alternatively accessible via the main entrance hall of Shapway House. This portion of Shapway House could serve as a separate Annexe, teenage retreat, multi generational living, home office or indeed as a supplemental income stream.  Currently configured with a welcoming sitting room (also used as a games/snug room) which boasts a secret bookcase door, revealing a charming double bedroom with en suite, a further room comprising a kitchenette, shower room, and sitting area. With a separate opening onto the front patio providing independent access.
