Shapway House is a large, newly renovated stone farmhouse that combines historic character with contemporary comforts. The main house offers three generous bedrooms, vaulted principal rooms with exposed beams, and an open-plan kitchen/dining/living area centred on a dual-aspect log burner. Oak flooring, bespoke joinery and a handmade kitchen with granite worktops and a Rangemaster give the home a refined, country-house feel.
An adaptable annexe with its own entrance provides flexible living: currently arranged as a sitting room with hidden bookcase door, a double bedroom with en suite, plus a kitchenette and shower room. The annexe is well suited to multigenerational living, a home office or potential holiday/long-term rental income stream. Practical spaces include a utility/boot room, separate study and an insulated powered outbuilding ideal for storage, workshop or studio use.
Externally the house sits slightly set back on Queens Road with off-street parking for several vehicles, a private south-facing walled courtyard and mature planted borders that create a sunny, sheltered outdoor living area. A gravelled rear courtyard and additional driveway to the large insulated shed add capacity for vehicles, hobbies or garden projects.
Practical points to note: the property has a D EPC, slow broadband in this location and Council Tax band F (relatively expensive). The vendor is not aware of building-safety issues, but purchasers are recommended to instruct a chartered surveyor. Overall, this is a substantial, characterful family home in an affluent Somerset village, offering flexible living and strong entertaining spaces for those seeking rural village life within reach of Bruton and regional centres.
