Accommodation

22 Priorygate Court sits within the former grounds of the Grade II-listed St. John’s Priory, which has now been beautifully converted into a private residence. The house was completed in 2021, thereby benefiting from the remainder of the 10-year NHBC warranty from new. The property has been greatly improved since new with the garden recently relandscaped extensively, and further practical and elegant enhancements made internally.

The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall where there is a staircase rising to the first floor with heaps of storage underneath and a cloakroom adjacent. Immediately ahead, there is the sitting and dining room, a lovely light living space, enjoying a triple aspect and bi-folding doors leading directly out to the garden. The current owners have fitted new blinds to the windows.

The kitchen has a range of modern fitted units with integral appliances including a fridge freezer, oven, hob with extractor above and dishwasher.

Upstairs, there are two spacious double bedrooms; the larger of the two is the master bedroom, which has built-in wardrobes. Both bedrooms have the use of the shower room which is beautifully appointed and has a walk-in shower, stylish floor and wall tiling, a basin and w/c. Accessed from the landing, there is a notably large storage cupboard which has scope to be converted into an en-suite.

To the side of the property, there is parking for two cars and additional parking alongside the quiet street by the house.

To the rear of the house, there is a mature garden with a lawn, deep borders, patio area and fencing offering excellent privacy. The backdrop of protected mature trees and the Priory itself makes this a very picturesque garden to enjoy.

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 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 within 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, there are 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.
