Accommodation

The front door enters the entrance hall, which leads through to the kitchen at the rear of the house. The kitchen dining room is well appointed with granite effect worktops, an oven and a gas hob. There is also room within the units for a washing machine.

The sitting room is a spacious and sociable living room with light flooding in through the front-facing window. Also on the ground floor, there is a cloakroom.

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

Outside

To the side of the house, there is driveway parking for two cars and to the rear, there is a fully enclosed garden which enjoys good privacy and is low maintenance being laid to lawn. Outside the kitchen, there is a sheltered seating terrace, ideal for al-fresco dining, and nearby there is a useful garden shed.

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, and 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 on the grounds of a Georgian country estate. The estate has a Hotel & Spa, a Farm shop, restaurants and a house & garden shop. Castle Cary itself now also boasts The Rio D'oro Italian and The Creamery, two well-regarded recent additions to its growing food scene.

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.
