An impressive double fronted semi-detached house situated on a corner plot with a large garden and generous off road parking. This delightful family home has been greatly improved over the years by creating a wonderful kitchen/diner providing the social hub of the house. There is also a light and airy living room featuring an attractive fireplace with wood burning stove, double glazed windows, gas central heating and boot room. The large garden opens up the opportunity to extend (STPP) at the rear or side of the property to provide additional living accommodation.
LOCATION: Castle Cary is an attractive and bustling market town characterised by period buildings constructed of the distinctive honey coloured stone for which the area is well known. There are many independent shops and boutiques and picture-perfect surrounding countryside. Dating back to 1855, The Market House remains the focal point of the town hosting a weekly market as well as regular events. The town is home to many independent businesses including shops and art galleries.

There are large supermarkets only a 15 minute drive away in the towns of Wincanton and Shepton Mallet. The newly opened ‘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 are a hotel and spa, farm shop, restaurants and garden shop. Just a short drive away along with the fashionable town of Bruton, home to Hauser & Wirth Somerset, a pioneering world-class art gallery. The mainline railway situated on the edge of Castle Cary provides a direct line to Paddington and the A303 road link is a few miles south.
