Description

PRIMROSE COTTAGE, SOUTH CARY LANE, CASTLE CARY, SOMERSET, BA7 7ER

A charming 4-bedroom cottage set in a quiet countryside position just a short distance from Castle Cary town. Situated in a sought-after location near Castle Cary, this lovely four-bedroom cottage seamlessly blends traditional character with a spacious modern extension.

Accommodation
Primrose Cottage has been lovingly improved and extended by the current owners to provide a wonderful family home. The property has part rendered, part local Hadspen stone elevations under a tiled roof. Sitting in an elevated position alongside South Cary Lane, one of the most sought-after streets in Castle Cary, Primrose Cottage enjoys superb views over the neighbouring countryside.

Entering the property through an attractive oak-framed porch, you are immediately welcomed into a generous hallway that enjoys both warmth and character. It has been thoughtfully designed with practical coat and shoe storage built in. Currently arranged as a music room, the hallway offers an inviting introduction to the home. A log burner provides a cosy focal point, set above the flagstone flooring.

From the welcoming hallway, the former main entrance to the property adds a touch of historical charm, while steps lead seamlessly into both the snug and the stunning, recently extended open-plan kitchen and dining room. This remarkable kitchen/dining/living space is truly the heart of the home, a beautiful social hub filled with natural light. The kitchen itself is both modern and stylish, featuring a suite of high-quality Neff appliances, including a head-height oven and sleek induction hob, all integrated. In the centre of the kitchen is a useful island unit, which includes built-in storage and a sink. There’s also space for bar stools, making it a great spot for casual meals, a morning coffee, or chatting while cooking. It’s a practical and stylish addition to this bright and open space, with underfloor heating ensuring year-round comfort, and further floor-to-ceiling cabinetry provides generous and well-considered storage.

The extension, predominantly glazed, floods the room with light and offers a seamless connection to the outdoors. Double doors open directly onto a paved garden patio, with stunning countryside views.

Also on the ground floor is a charming snug, located in the older part of the cottage. With sisal carpets, exposed stone walls and a log burner, this room is full of character. An additional lounge offers another comfortable living space, also featuring sisal flooring and a Jetmaster fire perfect for cosy evenings. Double doors lead out to the front garden patio, allowing easy access and plenty of natural light.

There is also a ground-floor shower room, fitted with a large walk-in shower, WC, and basin— a practical and well-presented space for everyday use. Also on the ground floor is a utility room, which houses the oil-fired boiler and includes an additional sink with a drainer, and a space with plumbing for a washing machine.

The first floor has a well-lit landing area with cottage-style windows, offering expansive views over the countryside, including the notable Glastonbury Tor. All four bedrooms are fitted with sisal carpeting and are spacious enough to accommodate double beds, each benefiting from the property's scenic surroundings. The master bedroom offers a built-in wardrobe and an en suite shower room, providing both convenience and privacy. There is a family bathroom too, which serves the other three rooms.

Outside
The property enjoys a fully enclosed garden, predominantly laid to lawn and bordered by mature trees and shrubs, offering a peaceful retreat with views extending over open fields and countryside.

Upon entry, a driveway accommodates parking for several vehicles, while a newly added carport offers extra parking and convenient storage for bins and bicycles. From the carport, steps lead to a secluded area, currently maintained as a wild garden, enhancing the property's natural appeal.

Adjacent to the front door, there is an ornamental pond wall with koi carp, and around the corner, outside the kitchen, a raised patio area provides an ideal space for outdoor entertaining. There are two fully insulated garden rooms with bi-folding doors, which have immense versatility. One of which is currently used as an office but has previously served as a gym and music room, and the other is currently offering an additional storage space.

The oil tank has been buried and is close to the gate for easy maintenance.

About the area
Castle Cary is described by Sir Nikolaus Pevsner, the eminent architectural historian, as Somerset's prettiest town, set in beautiful, unspoilt countryside. The town is characterised by period buildings constructed of the distinctive honey-coloured stone for which the area is well known. It remains a delightful small market town with several traditional shops and boutiques within the Conservation Area, and a policy of strict planning control operates to prevent inappropriate development. These shops cater for most everyday needs whilst Shaftesbury, Glastonbury, Street, Wells, Frome, Wincanton, Sherborne and Yeovil are all close by and Salisbury, Taunton, Bath and Bristol are within easy driving distance.

“The Newt in Somerset”, just outside Castle Cary, is home to beautiful countryside walks set on the grounds of a Georgian country estate. The estate has a Hotel & Spa, a Farm shop, restaurants and a house & garden shop.

On the outskirts of Castle Cary is the railway station with its direct line to Paddington, and the A303 Road link is a few miles south. There are excellent state schools in the area - Ansford Academy boasts excellent exam grades, and independent schools include the Sherborne and Bruton schools, Millfield, Wells Cathedral, Hazelgrove and Port Regis.
