Description


Hesper Cottage is a newly modernised 3 bedroom detached bungalow set in a peaceful location close to the centre of castle cary. 

The property has been refurbished to an exceptional standard throughout and provides a spacious entrance hall, a large open plan living dining room, kitchen/dining room, utility, cloakroom, three bedrooms, family bathroom and a beautiful wrap around garden. 

Accommodation

At the front of the property there is a large gravelled drive providing ample parking for up to five cars. A neat front lawn with established shrubs gives a pleasant outlook, and the house is surrounded by open fields, enhancing the sense of space and privacy.
An entrance porch opens into the utility room and kitchen. The utility room is practical in design, with space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, a radiator, and a window. A door leads through to the cloakroom, fitted with WC, wash hand basin and a window.
The kitchen is an impressive space, well fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and base units providing excellent storage. The dual aspect windows bring in plenty of natural light and create a bright, welcoming room. Fittings include a built-in dishwasher, Stoves double oven with extractor hood, and a sink with drainer. There is space for a free-standing double fridge freezer and for a large dining table, making this the real hub of the home.
Through the hallway—newly decorated with stylish panelling and wooden flooring—are doors leading to all bedrooms, the bathroom and the main living accommodation.
The dining and sitting rooms are arranged in an open-plan style at the rear of the house. The dining room has a coal-effect gas fire, new carpets, smart panelling and a pretty outlook to the side rose garden. This space flows naturally into the sitting room, which is a superb addition to the house. Here there is a newly fitted log burner, a large feature window overlooking the rear garden, and a vaulted ceiling with Velux windows that fill the room with natural light. Sliding patio doors complete the room and open directly onto the garden, making it ideal for family living and entertaining.

It includes vinyl flooring, a heated towel rail, partly tiled walls, a wash hand basin set into a vanity unit, WC, bath with an overhead ceiling-mounted shower, extractor fan, window, and a large built-in storage cupboard.
Both bedrooms two and three have been fitted with new carpets and feature built-in wardrobes. Each has a window providing natural light and pleasant views.
The master bedroom is newly decorated and benefits from large built-in wardrobes and patio doors opening directly onto the garden, providing a light, airy and private retreat.

Outside

Outside, the property is equally impressive. A large slate patio sits beneath a wooden pergola, offering all-weather use of the space. The upper garden is mainly lawned, featuring a decorative pond, neat shingled pathways and a small bridge over a brook that leads to a duck enclosure. A substantial outbuilding currently serves as a home office, complete with heating, light, power, insulation and a window. Adjacent is a shed for additional storage. At the rear of the property, a large wooden outbuilding provides further garden storage and includes a door into the garage, which has barn-style doors to the front, as well as light and power. 
Down steps from the top garden, a large and well-landscaped woodland area extends to the stream, featuring mature trees and plants, peaceful seating areas, and a beautiful wildflower garden. As with the entire grounds, the side garden is a highlight, showcasing a stunning array of rose plants in multiple colours, a true feature of this wrap-around garden.


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 a number of traditional shops and boutiques within the Conservation Area in which 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 in the grounds of a Georgian country estate. Within the estate, there are 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.
