Accommodation

The property is located in a desirable residential neighbourhood less than a mile from the town centre, this beautifully extended four-bedroom detached house combines traditional family living with modern design features. This includes a stunning single-storey extension, enhancing its spacious layout and providing a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living spaces.

Entering the home, there is a welcoming entrance hall with parquet flooring and a convenient downstairs cloakroom. The hall leads to a generous dual-aspect sitting room, bathed in natural light and featuring a contemporary wall-mounted electric fireplace. Fully glazed double doors open into the impressive open-plan living and dining room, an expansive space designed for both family living and entertaining. Measuring nearly 9 meters in length, this room is flooded with natural light from its dual-aspect windows and sliding doors that lead out to the garden.

The stylish modern kitchen is fitted with an array of sleek grey cabinetry, integrated appliances, and solid wood countertops. A useful adjoining utility room offers additional storage and work surfaces, along with external access, making it ideal for household chores.

Leading upstairs, the landing is filled with natural light thanks to a cleverly placed window that frames picturesque views of St. Andrews Church and the striking westerly sunsets. The first floor hosts four well-proportioned bedrooms, three of which are spacious doubles. The contemporary family bathroom features a luxurious suite, including a bath with decorative tiling, a separate corner shower cubicle, a heated towel rail, a sleek sink, and a low-level WC.

Outside

The property benefits from a single garage with an 'up and over' door, along with a dedicated parking space on the driveway. The front garden is bordered by greenery, and a gated side path leads to the private rear garden, fully enclosed by brick walls and fencing for additional privacy.

The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn, surrounded by well-kept planted borders and two separate patio areas. One patio adjoins the property, providing an ideal spot for morning coffee, while the second, positioned under a charming pergola, is perfect for evening dining or summer gatherings. A brick-built barbecue and pizza oven with a covered area offers further opportunities for outdoor cooking and entertaining.

This home, completed with modern double glazing and a gas-fired central heating system (boiler installed in 2018 and last serviced in 2020), exudes comfort, functionality, and style. Its versatile layout and thoughtful design make it a perfect choice for family living or those looking to enjoy a peaceful lifestyle in a convenient location.

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 on the grounds of a Georgian country estate. Within the estate, there are a Hotel & Spa, Farm shop, restaurants and house & garden shop.

Within a short walk from the property, 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, Hazlegrove and Port Regis.
