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.

The property is located just off the high street which makes it exceptionally convenient for a buyer looking to be close to the towns amenities. Internally the property could benefit from updating but there is plenty of character and immense potential. The shower room has already been updated to a high standard and as there is no onward chain, a buyer is able to move in immediately. The sitting room has a fireplace with inset electric fire and built-in storage within the alcove. There is a large front facing window with a pretty window seat beneath.

Across the hall there is the kitchen dining room which is a well-proportioned living area with ample room for a dining table. There are further period details here including feature fireplace and a ceiling beam. Within the units there is room for a washing machine and electric oven or indeed if a buyer wished to update the kitchen there is great scope to redesign the layout. Upstairs there are two double bedrooms, one of which enjoying built-in wardrobe space. The shower room is fitted to a high standard with a walk-in shower, basin, sleek wall tiles and a w/c.

Around 30 yards from the house there is a garage with barn style doors. While there is no legal right to park immediately in front of the garage, a small car could be parked within the garage itself. Across the private lane from the garage, there is a garden area which is partially laid to lawn with surrounding hedgerows, and there is a greenhouse, summer house, tool shed and vegetable patches.
