Bishop's Drive

1 Bishop’s Drive, Meadow View, Baltonsborough

A charming three-bedroom detached new build, set within this sought-after development within the village of Baltonsborough.

The property features beautifully designed accommodation, including an entrance hall, open-plan kitchen and sitting room, three bedrooms and a family bathroom.

There is a notably spacious rear garden with an option to acquire more, and private parking for three cars.

Accommodation

Constructed with attractive local stone elevations, the property combines traditional build-design with contemporary energy-efficient living. Positioned to take full advantage of the surrounding countryside, the house enjoys a delightful rural woodland outlook to the rear with no houses in direct view, creating a particularly private and peaceful setting. This property is an ideal lock-up-and-leave, first time purchase or investment.

The accommodation extends to approximately 886 sq. ft and is arranged over two floors. The ground floor centres around a well-appointed open plan kitchen, dining and sitting room designed for sociable living. The upgraded specification kitchen is fitted with integrated appliances, quartz worktops, and ample storage, whilst the living space benefits from excellent natural light and direct access to the garden via French doors.

On the first floor are three bedrooms, together with a contemporary family bathroom. Underfloor heating to the ground floor and bathroom adds further comfort, complemented by high-quality flooring throughout, including LVT flooring to the ground floor, ceramic tiling to the bathroom and cloakroom, and wool carpeting to the stairs and first-floor accommodation.

Sustainability and efficiency are key features of the property, with an air-source heat pump heating system, an EV charging point, and a predicted A/B EPC rating contributing to lower running costs. Super-fast broadband capability also makes the property well-suited to home working.

Outside

The generous rear garden provides excellent outdoor space rarely found with new homes, ideal for families and pets. The garden is laid to neatly manicured lawn with a patio immediately outside the living room. By separate negotiation, there could be further gardens available to purchase.

The property also benefits from three private parking spaces, an increasingly valuable feature for a home of this size.

Meadow View and the Local Area

Set just of Ham Street in Baltonsborough, Meadow View is perfectly situated within the village, within walking distance of the surrounding countryside, as well as the shop, pub and primary school - trio of amenities that few villages still enjoy.

The village pub is one of many good establishments in the area, others include The Red Lion at Babcary, The Cross Keys at Lydford, The Manor at Ditcheat and The Crown at Pilton to name a few.

Other villages close by include West Pennnard, Butleigh, Lovington and Keinton Mandeville which all offer ample amenities and facilities including several primary schools, an award winning bakery (Levitos in Lovington), and village stores. There are excellent state and independent schools in the wider area including Millfield, Hazelgrove, Downside, All Hallows, Wells Blue School, Strode College, Wells Cathedral School, Ansford and the Bruton schools.

On the outskirts of the nearby town of Castle Cary (15 minutes) is the railway station with its direct line to Paddington, and the A37 just a two minute drive away provides access south to the A303 for London and the Southwest and north to Bristol and Bath. Castle Cary 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.

“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 there are a Hotel & Spa, Farm shop, restaurants and house & garden shop. Another benefit of living in Baltonsborough is access to local resale tickets of the world renowned Glastonbury Festival which greatly increases chances of securing tickets.

Bruton is located 3 miles north west of Castle Cary, it dates back to Roman times and today is a charming small town with various shops and amenities, including the ‘Hauser & Wirth’ Art & Exhibition Gallery, ‘The Roth Bar & Grill’, the Michelin starred 'Osip', the ever popular dining experience ‘At The Chapel’, and of course an excellent choice of schools including King's School and Sexey's School.

P.S.

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.

Call us for information on any of these points.
