There is off-street parking and a fully enclosed rear garden.

Accommodation

2 Almsford Close was completed in 2018 and, as a result, still benefits from the remainder of its NHBC warranty. The property has been maintained and improved to an extremely high standard by the current owners and is ready to move straight into. It would make an ideal first or second home, a bolt-hole, or an investment property.

The front door enters the entrance hall, which leads through to the sitting room at the rear of the house. The sitting room has plenty of room to relax in, and French doors with full-height glazing on either side, leading out to the garden.

The kitchen dining room is well-appointed with grey wood-effect worktops, an integrated fridge/freezer, washing machine, dishwasher, oven and gas hob. The room is spacious enough for a dining table, making it a social, family-oriented room.

Also on the ground floor, there is a cloakroom.

Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms and a single room. The master bedroom has stylish panelling and an en-suite shower room. There is a separate family bathroom which has a bath, basin, w/c and floor and wall tiles. There is a loft which is boarded and fully insulated.

Outside

Immediately in front of the house there is driveway parking for two cars and to the rear there is a fully enclosed garden which enjoys good privacy. The current owners extensively improved the garden with thoughtful landscaping to include two large sheltered seating terraces, ideal for al-fresco dining, and raised herb borders. The garden is fully enclosed by a mixture of walls and fencing.

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, there 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.

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.
