About this property

DE

SCRIPTIONStarmead House, is a totally unique and joyful dwelling tucked away, hiding in a secretive site on the western slopes of Shaftesbury with some beautiful far reaching views. The main home is full of surprises, as a whole a large 4/5 bedroom detached two storey dwelling OR alternatively, unfolds to offer a comfortable 2/3 bed single storey home to the first floor of the building with a further separate 2 bedroom unit/annexe to the ground floor. Additionally, above the double garage, the former workshop has been converted to a quirky 'lodge' providing a kitchen with relaxing area, sleeping quarters and shower room. The spaces have been used by the current owners for multi generational living with the three set ups having independent accesses.
