South Bank, Castle Cary

9 SOUTH BANK, CASTLE CARY, BA7 7HF

An ideally situated three-bedroom terraced house with a superb garden, set on the outskirts of Castle Cary with lovely countryside views.

9 South Bank has spacious accommodation, including an entrance hall, sitting room, kitchen/dining room, three bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a loft room with an en-suite loo.

There is a pretty front garden, a rear courtyard and a 70m long rear garden, plus a garage and parking.

Accommodation

9 South Bank enjoys extended living accommodation thanks to a cleverly arranged loft extension and fantastic westerly views. The property would make an ideal investment, first-time purchase, or lock-up-and-leave. The accommodation would benefit from some cosmetic improvements but represents fantastic potential.

A lawned front garden with a concrete path leads to the front door, which is sheltered by a stone hood. This, in turn, leads to an entrance hall with the staircase rising to the first floor, directly ahead. The sitting room on the right-hand side enjoys wood-effect floorboards and a fireplace with an inset wood burner. The westerly facing window enjoys excellent views too.

The kitchen-dining room has a stable-style door opening to a rear courtyard, and a stone-tiled floor. There is ample room for a dining table, and the kitchen itself features a range of units, with a free-standing electric cooker. There is room and plumbing within the units for a dishwasher and a washing machine. A brand new boiler has just been installed in the kitchen, too.

On the first floor, there are two double bedrooms and a single room. Two of the rooms enjoy superb views, and one features an ornate fireplace. The attic has been converted to provide a loft room, which could be utilised in numerous ways. The loft room has ample eaves storage, as well as a loo and basin.

Outside

Immediately outside the kitchen, there is a paved seating terrace, adorned by a pergola, offering shade and privacy.

Beyond the lane that runs along the backside of the terrace, there is off-street parking and a single garage. At the back of the garage, there is a wood store and then beyond there are impressive gardens stretching up the hill with productive vegetable patches, a polytunnel, orchard areas and lawns.

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 several traditional shops and boutiques within the Conservation Area, and 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 within easy driving distance.

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

A few extra comments

Mortgages – we can help.

Bridging loans – We can help.

Moving house is complicated and stressful when a sale and purchase needs to be tied together in terms of finance and timing.

Sometimes, we can negotiate an agreement that suits both sellers and buyers.

Sometimes, a bridging loan can solve problems and remove stress.
