Shaston House has been a beloved family home for nearly 30 years and has been well looked after and maintained. Offering spacious and flexible accommodation with good proportions, the property occupies a much-envied position with far reaching views. The current owner has re-modelled the property by converting the once garage into a spacious living room with feature fireplace and a first floor sitting room into a stunning bedroom enjoying a triple aspect including a window seat overlooking the garden and Melbury Beacon. Overall, the ground floor accommodation comprises a spacious entrance hall, sitting room, office, an open plan kitchen / diner with French doors into the conservatory and opening into the utility room and boot room beyond. The office and boot room were previously configured as a ground floor bedroom and bathroom, and this could be re-instated quite easily. On the first floor are five well-proportioned bedrooms off the light and airy landing, a shower room and bathroom.
