Description

ORCHARD HOUSE, TORBAY ROAD, CASTLE CARY, BA7 7DW

A spacious and most appealing four-bedroom family home, set within walking distance of Castle Cary High Street and Schools. 

Orchard House sits within a spacious plot and enjoys accommodation including an entrance hall, sitting room, dining room, kitchen, breakfast room, cloakroom, utility room, four double bedrooms, one en-suite and a family bathroom. 

Outside, there are beautifully maintained gardens, ample driveway parking and a detached single garage/workshop. 

Accommodation
Built by the current owners and clearly cherished ever since, this substantial home offers comfortable, spacious accommodation with a layout ideal for modern family living.

The front door opens into a wide entrance hall with a cloakroom to the side. Leading off is the principal reception room – a generous and inviting living room with French doors opening directly onto a paved patio, creating a seamless connection to the garden and providing a wonderful space for both relaxing and entertaining.

Adjacent to the living room is a large dining room, easily accommodating a full-sized table and further furniture, perfect for family gatherings or more formal occasions. The kitchen is both smart and highly functional, fitted with sleek modern units and appliances, with excellent storage and work surfaces. From here, a practical utility/boot room provides additional space and access to the rear garden.

Upstairs, all four bedrooms are good-sized doubles. The master suite enjoys excellent proportions, a built-in wardrobe and a well-fitted en-suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms are equally generous and served by a family bathroom, offering ample room for children, guests or home working needs.

Outside
The property benefits from a delightful rear garden – mainly laid to lawn with a paved terrace immediately outside the living room, ideal for outdoor dining and summer barbecues. The garden has a mixture of hedgerows and fencing, and the lawn is surrounded by deep, neatly edged borders. Within the garden,

At the front, a gravel driveway leads to a large parking area and a detached garage, offering further storage or workshop potential. Note: the driveway is owned by Orchard House, and 1 Torbay Road adjacent has a right of access and parking rights to an area within the driveway. 

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.
