Park Avenue, Castle Cary Guide Price £700,000

A detached three bedroom house in a superb location, backing onto Lodge Hill on the outskirts of Castle Cary. Park Gate has neatly presented accommodation including an entrance hall, sitting room, kitchen dining room, sunroom, ground floor bedroom with bathroom, utility room and two first-floor bedrooms. Outside there is ample gated parking, a pretty garden and a detached garage.

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.

There are very few properties which enjoy such a sought after location as Park Gate. The property benefits from fabulous views up to Lodge Hill, while still being just a short walk from all amenities without missing out parking and garage which often come at a premium for such-like properties. The property has warm honey-coloured Hadspen Stone elevations under a slate tiled roof with brick quoins. The front door leads into a welcoming entrance hall with the sitting room on the left hand side as you enter. The sitting room has a lovely outlook and adjoins the sun room. There is a generously sized kitchen dining room which has a range of fitted units and pretty garden views with a triple aspect. A utility adjoins the kitchen where there is plumbing for washing facilities and a door leading out to a porch area which heads out to the garden.

There is a bedroom on the ground floor, serviced by a bathroom and this alternatively would make an ideal study. Upstairs there are two double bedrooms and a family bathroom which is accessed in a Jack-And-Jill style.

There are expansive gardens which wrap around the house meaning there are always areas in which to enjoy the sunshine. There is a seating terrace and productive vegetable patches with a greenhouse. The gardens are enclosed by a mixture of fencing and mature shrubbery offering an excellent degree of privacy. A gated driveway opens to a large tarmac parking area in front of the detached single garage which has an up-and-over door.
