About the Area
Babcary is one of Somerset’s charming and historic villages set in beautiful countryside between Somerton, Glastonbury and Castle Cary. Recorded in the Domesday Book, it’s an attractive small village bordering of the Sparkford Vale. The medieval church is close by where one of the earliest games of ‘fives’ was recorded. Elsewhere in the village is the Red Lion, an excellent pub and restaurant dating from the 17th century, and the well-used Village Hall and playing fields. All these factors contribute to the friendly and active village community.

Glastonbury, Wells, Castle Cary and Sherborne are all within a short drive as are Castle Cary and Yeovil Rail Stations with main lines to London. There are many golf courses in the area with National Hunt racing at Wincanton and Taunton and flat racing at Bath. There are excellent state and independent schools in the area including Millfield, Bruton, Hazelgrove, Wells Cathedral, Downside and Sherborne.
 
Babcary is a sought-after village being very accessible but well away from the main road and with virtually no through traffic.

Accommodation
Chapel Farm stands back from the quiet road which runs through the village and is a handsome building with rendered elevations under a tiled roof (together with PV panels).
The house has been extensively improved and extended in recent years and it's very attractive with plenty of good living space, double glazing, LED lights, solar panels and oil-fired central heating.
 
The front door is sheltered by the porch and opens into a good-sized hall fitted with oak flooring which extends through the kitchen and dining room. This is a great room having a double aspect which makes it very light and airy and there's plenty of space for a sofa, table and chairs. The kitchen area has an excellent range of fitted units (plus an island), oak work surfaces, 2 bowl sinks, tiling and integrated appliances with a dishwasher, fridge freezer,  Bosch oven, AEG induction hob and extractor.
From the kitchen are doors to the garden and into a utility room with fitted units, work surface, sink, space and plumbing for a washing machine and drier and a door into the garage.
 
Beyond is the sitting room, again large, light and airy with a triple aspect and French doors into the garden. The focal point is the stone fireplace with a wood-burning Charnwood stove.
 
On the first floor are the galleried landing, 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
The master bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe area and an en-suite bathroom with tiling, a hand basin, WC and a bath with a shower above.
The other bedrooms are a good size and the family bathroom has tiling, a basin, WC, a bath and a shower cubicle.
 
At the front of the house is a neat lawned garden and a driveway providing parking. A paved path leads around the side to the log shed.
There's also a second drive which leads past the house through double gates to the rear garden providing more parking and leading to the double garage which has an electric up and over door.
This rear garden is well landscaped with a paved patio, lawn, flower beds, vegetable area, a garden shed and a magnificent oak tree. Another benefit is the adjacent footpath which gives access to the beautiful surrounding countryside.
 
Directions
From Castle Cary go west on the B3153 to the Lydford Cross Roads. Turn left and travel south along the A37 in the Yeovil direction. After approximately 2 miles take the left turning signposted to Babcary. Proceed through this pretty village, past the church and the property will be found on your left-hand side, indicated by our for sale board.
