Shaw Hill, Melksham, SN12

An attractive and deceptively spacious period village home which enjoys a quiet tucked away position off a private lane. The property occupies a generous plot and is offered for sale with NO ONWARD CHAIN.

The Old Coach House is a beautiful period property situated down a private lane within the vibrant, yet peaceful community of Shaw Hill, near Melksham in Wiltshire. Originally built in 1895 as Coach House to the imposing Shaw Hill House, it has many lovely features. During the Second World War, the Old Coach House became known as Beltane School, a boarding school for evacuees relocating from the big cities. Apart from that time, it has largely been used as a family home and has been the much loved home of the current owners for the last 18 years.

The accommodation on offer comprises entrance hall with cloakroom off, impressive 26' x 20' drawing room with French doors opening onto the rear garden, sitting room with feature fireplace, kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, rear lobby leading to the garden and garage, master bedroom with en suite shower room, two further double bedrooms, one single bedroom, bathroom and a shower room.
