The sitting room at the front of the house is well proportioned and has a feature fireplace with an electric wood burning effect stove. Through a doorway is the kitchen and dining room, which is possibly where the quality of this house is most apparent. There is an excellent selection of sleek high gloss cupboards set into hardwood worktops, as well as a breakfast bar and integral appliances including an electric cooker, induction hob and dishwasher. There is plenty of room for a dining table in front of the bi-folding doors which open out to the sunny courtyard garden.

Upstairs, on the first floor there is a large double bedroom with built in wardrobes and a separate single bedroom. The bathroom, also on the first floor, is well appointed with contemporary fittings including floor & wall tiles, a bath with overhead shower, w/c, heated towel rail and vanity unit with storage and illuminated mirror.

The top floor is occupied by the superb master suite. In addition to the substantial double bedroom, there is a modern en-suite with a shower, a heated towel rail, a vanity unit with storage, an illuminated mirror and a w/c. Under the eaves, there is plenty of storage available.

Immediately outside the bi-folding doors of the kitchen, there is a sunny south westerly facing courtyard garden which is fully enclosed with excellent privacy. The back fence has decorative trellising and a pedestrian gate out to the allocated parking space.

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 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.
