Ansford Road, Castle Cary

THE AGENT SAYS...
Somerville is an attractive double-fronted property with pleasing proportions both inside and out. The house is well-presented and has some lovely period features. Outside there is a cottage (former bakery), which would need planning permission for residential conversion but had planning granted in the past (now lapsed). There is also a great workshop space that is perfect for hobbies.

THE PROPERTY
The entrance hall is bright and welcoming with a beautiful tiled floor. At the end of the hall is a cloakroom with wash basin and WC. On the right side of the hall are the lounge and drawing room which are similar sizes and both have a bay window (the lounge is dual-aspect) and attractive fireplace.

On the other side of the hall is the kitchen/breakfast room which is lovely and bright, with an L-shape layout and space for a small dining table. Fitted with cream-coloured traditional style units the kitchen offers plenty of storage including an integrated fridge-freezer. There is also an integrated dishwasher, built-in oven and microwave, and hob with extractor above. Behind the kitchen is the dining room and beyond this is the utility, which leads outside.

On the first floor there are four good-size double bedrooms, two of which have built-in wardrobes, and the family bathroom. There is also a useful airing cupboard on the landing.

OUTSIDE
A shared driveway leads to the side of the property where there is a large yard for parking. Around the perimeter of this yard are the numerous outbuildings. On the northern side are two single garages with up and over doors. Alongside this is a workshop which has been divided into two with independent access to each room. Both rooms have windows for natural light and also have power and lighting connected. Nearest the entrance from the driveway is the annexe, which was once a bakery. Built of stone with a tiled roof, this annexe is a generous size and has potential for a variety of uses. At present it is nonresidential but planning permission (now lapsed) has been previously granted. Attached to the annexe is a further garage (double) which could provide parking for guests if the annexe were converted into accommodation.

At the rear of the property is an enclosed lawned garden with a pergola covered patio dining area, raised brick pond, and a further paved seating area to enjoy a sundowner. A further lawn wraps around the front and side of the property and is surrounded by hedging.
