Upper High Street, Castle Cary, Somerset, BA7

The property is entered from the street via a large front door into a reception area with a wall of wardrobes, providing hanging and shelving space.
A glazed door leads into the kitchen/dining room. This is a bright and airy room with a parquet wood floor, two sets of windows looking to the front, and a glazed door leading to the reception area, which has a glass ceiling that brings light all the way through.

The kitchen offers a good range of cream wall and base units topped with a wood work surface housing a bowl and a half stainless steel sink. There is also a kitchen island providing more drawer space and a breakfast bar. All the appliances are free-standing. A clever space-saving idea is the installation of a projector and the use of the blinds as the screen.

Glazed double doors lead into the living area, which is set in the striking glass rear extension. It has a slate tiled floor and a door out to the garden.

A sliding door leads through to a downstairs cloakroom with a W.C. with concealed cistern, wash basin with mirror above and a wall-mounted heated towel rail. The area under the stairs also makes a handy utility area with space for a washing machine. There is also the Bosch combi Boiler and fuse board.

The fabulous staircase leads up to the first floor, where there are two double bedrooms and a bathroom. The landing has a Juliet balcony overlooking the reception room below. The first bedroom is a good-sized bedroom with a wall of fitted wardrobes, providing hanging and shelving space, and there is a window to the front.

The second is a slightly smaller double bedroom with a front window.

The family bathroom has a tiled floor and part-tiled walls, a bath with a ceiling-mounted overhead shower, a shower screen, a W.C., a wash basin with a mirror above, and two windows.

On the top floor is the master bedroom, which has a vaulted ceiling and exposed beams. In a hotel style, there is a freestanding bath and basin open to the bedroom and a separate loo. There is under-eaves storage and two Velux windows set in the roof.

The garden is ideal for evening drinks. It has a paved area directly off the house and then a very manageable lawn with an apple tree front and centre. The garden has well-stocked borders with various plants trained against the walls.
