About the area

Castle Cary is described by Sir Nikolaus Pevsner, the eminent architectural historian, as Somerset's prettiest town, set in beautiful unspoilt countryside. The town is characterised by period buildings constructed of the distinctive honey coloured stone for which the area is well known. It remains a delightful small market town with a number of traditional shops and boutiques within the Conservation Area in which a policy of strict planning control operates to prevent inappropriate development. These shops cater for most everyday needs whilst Shaftesbury, Glastonbury, Street, Wells, Frome, Wincanton, Sherborne and Yeovil are all close by and Salisbury, Taunton, Bath and Bristol are in easy driving distance.

The “The Newt in Somerset” just outside Castle Cary is home to beautiful countryside walks set in the grounds of a Georgian country estate. Within the estate are a Hotel & Spa, Farm shop, restaurants and house & garden shop.

On the outskirts of Castle Cary is the railway station with its direct line to Paddington and the A303 Road link is a few miles south. There are excellent state schools in the area - Ansford Academy boasts excellent exam grades and independent schools include the Sherborne and Bruton schools, Millfield, Wells Cathedral, Hazelgrove and Port Regis.

Accommodation

6 Cumnock Terrace is Grade II listed and built in the Victorian era with many period features typical of its time. There are high ceilings, sash windows and timber floorboards to name a few.

The property is accessed from the rear with a door leading into an inner lobby between the utility and kitchen areas. The kitchen has a range of painted wooden units with wooden work surfaces above. Set into the units is an electric cooker and there is room/plumbing for a dishwasher. Slate floor tiles span the room and into the dining area. Off the kitchen is a utility room with additional cupboard space and plumbing for a washing machine. At the end of the utility is a cloakroom.

Stairs lead from the lower ground floor to the ground floor where there is the sitting room and a double bedroom. The sitting room has two large front facing sash windows, high ceilings and a fireplace with inset wood burning stove plus alcoves with storage on either side. Adjacent is a double bedroom. Also on this floor is the front door which leads out to Cumnock Road.

Leading up to the first floor there is a large double bedroom with a pretty aspect over to fields at the front. Adjacent is the family bathroom which has a roll top bath, separate shower, basin, w/c and airing cupboard.

On the top floor is another room, currently used as the main bedroom. Like the bedroom below, it commands lovely views over the fields and in addition to this, it has a Velux window enjoying views to the rear.

Outside

At the back of the house is a parking area in front of what used to be the garage. The garage has since been converted into two parts: a store and a studio. The store provides ample room for bikes and garden tools while the studio has large south facing windows looking out over the garden and providing excellent natural light. The current owners use this as an art studio and the lighting makes it perfect for just this.

The garden is fenced on all sides, providing good privacy and security. There is a lawn, a seating terrace with pergola above, two sheds and a children's tree house.

Services

Mains gas, water drainage and electricity.
