A gem of a period house tucked away in central Castle Cary.

Rose Cottage is absolutely charming - one of three converted cottages which were originally part of a large farmhouse. The accommodation is full of character, bathed in south-facing light and located in the heart of the endearing town of Castle Cary. Meticulously decorated in neutral shades by the vendor, this well designed home has undergone incredible transformation over the last few years, offering a seamless blend of modern luxury and outdoor living whilst still retaining its quaint beauty, ensuring comfort and discreet sophistication throughout.

The main entrance opens to a lobby area, a boots and utility area to the left featuring original flag stone flooring and fitted units, with plenty of space for washing machine, tumble dryer and freezer. To the right of the lobby, a door leads to the beautifully designed galley kitchen with engineered oak flooring that extends through the ground floor open plan area. The work tops are solid oak with integrated fridge, dishwasher and electric cooker and hob and generous cupboard space.

An elegant open-plan design connects the kitchen with the dining area and sitting room. Oak beams and a large wood burning stove enhance the wonderful family room, keeping it cosy during cold winter evenings. For warmer days, a single glass door opens from the sitting room into an attractive south-facing courtyard area, an idyllic setting for morning coffee. From the sitting room, a door also leads to a cloakroom / wc and the original front door entrance, which is currently used as storage space but could revert to a front door.

From the open plan living space, a carpeted staircase winds up to a spacious landing, currently used as an open plan office / library with ample fitted shelving.

On this floor are two well-proportioned bedrooms, one with double aspect windows facing the side and front. and a large four-piece family bathroom with separate shower and bath, heated towel rail.

Further stairs lead to the light and spacious master bedroom / guest suite with exposed beams, and two Velux windows radiating natural light and panoramic views of All Saints’ Church, the rooftops of Castle Cary and Lodge Hill. Bespoke fitted wardrobes and drawers into the eaves and an ensuite bathroom with walk in shower and heated towel rail complete the sense of a luxurious and tranquil haven.

Outside
A gated gravel driveway accommodates up to three cars. Note: the other two houses which used to form part of the original farmhouse have pedestrian right of access over the drive to reach the gate of number 14.  

A gravel and paved path winds through a delightful garden filled with an easy-care planting of scented shrubs and climbing plants, perennials and bulbs. At the end of the path, a secluded partially covered patio area and  wooden pergola ideal for relaxing (and drying laundry. in all weathers). Two small sheds provide space for wood and tools.  

Beyond the patio area, french windows lead to a large summer house / secluded workspace (with wifi and electricity). A wood-burning stove, generous insulation and limed floorboards make it possible to enjoy garden views in comfort at all times of the year.   Wooden fencing elegantly defines the boundaries at this far end of the property, ensuring a harmonious blend of privacy and natural beauty.

Situation
Rose Cottage is tucked down a quiet, residential road, ideally located in the idyllic market town of Castle Cary (rebuilt in 1855) which lies on the edge of rolling countryside and offers a market on Tuesdays, a library and good local amenities all within easy walking distance of the property.
