Description

CHANTRY HOUSE No. 12, PRIORYGATE COURT, CASTLE CARY, SOMERSET, BA7 7HT

A spacious and light house, built in a period style, occupying a prestigious address in one of the best residential areas of the small market town of Castle Cary.

Chantry House offers elegant accommodation, featuring a reception hall, three reception rooms, a kitchen and breakfast room, conservatory, utility room, study, cloakroom, four double bedrooms, and three bath/shower rooms.

There is ample driveway parking in front of the double garage, and the property is surrounded by beautiful gardens.

Accommodation
Built at the turn of the millennium, this detached family property has been constructed in a period style with local Cary stone elevations and a slate tiled roof. There are many attractive features, including stone quoins, sash windows, and a portico sheltering the front door. The property requires some updating internally, but it offers immense potential in this ever-sought-after collection of properties. Chantry House stands in a mature landscaped area being previously the grounds of a Victorian house known as St. John's Priory. This is a beautifully quiet and secure area, being well away from all busy roads yet within walking distance of the pretty centre of this small town.

Entering through the front door, a welcoming entrance connects the main living areas of the house. The sitting room is a bright space with French doors opening out to the garden at the rear, a sash window to the front and a Hamstone fireplace with an inset gas fire within.

Between the sitting room and the kitchen, there is a dining room with a set of glass doors that open to the conservatory. The conservatory also has doors leading back into the kitchen, and French doors to the garden, allowing the house to seamlessly flow to the sunny terrace outside.

The kitchen has an L-shape with an extensive array of built-in units with a ceramic two-bowl sink with views above overlooking the garden, a gas hob, mid-level ovens and a free-standing dishwasher. There is ample room for a breakfast table. Adjoining the kitchen, there is a utility room with further storage and plumbing for a washing machine. A door at the back of the kitchen loops back into the hall, across from which there is a study, and at the front of the house, there is a larger study which could easily be used as a playroom or snug.

The staircase rises to the first-floor galleried landing, off which there are four generous double bedrooms, all of which have built-in wardrobe storage. There is a family bathroom servicing the third and fourth bedrooms, and en-suites to the master and guest rooms.

Outside
From the close, a walled parking area provides room for several vehicles with space for turning and access to the double garage. The garage has two sets of up-and-over doors, lights and power internally, and a pedestrian door opening into the house and through to the garden at the rear.

The westerly facing gardens are fully enclosed by a mixture of attractive walling and fencing, with deep flower borders and a neatly manicured lawn in the centre. There is a pond, teeming with life, and a beautiful backdrop of the ancient oak in the grounds of the Priory adjacent.

Immediately outside the conservatory, there is a sunny seating terrace, taking in a south-westerly aspect.

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.
