Accommodation
2 Old Ansford Inn is a delightful period building constructed with local Hadspen stone set within an excellent location close to Castle Cary High Street. The property is Grade II listed and has plenty of features, including flagstones and high ceilings throughout.

Entering through the front door, there is an entrance hall with a staircase rising to the first floor directly ahead, and the sitting room on the right-hand side. The sitting room has a dual aspect and the central fireplace with an inset electric wood-effect stove.

The kitchen has a range of fitted units with granite-effect worktops above and integral appliances, including an electric range master cooker, a fridge freezer and dishwasher. There is ample room for a dining room table, and the high ceilings give the room a lovely feeling of space and light. Beneath the stairs, there are two storage cupboards, one of which has plumbing for a washing machine and a tumble dryer. 

On the first floor, there are two comfortable double bedrooms and a family bathroom with a fitted suite. The master bedroom is located on the top floor and has characterful exposed beams, built-in wardrobes and a fully fitted ensuite shower room.

Outside
The garden is located to the south of the house and enjoys a lovely sunny outlook. It is predominantly laid to lawn and provides ample room for a garden table and chairs. There are well-stocked flower borders and a mixture of stone wall and hedgerow boundaries.

At the front, there is driveway parking for two vehicles, and further parking can be found in front of the single garage, which is situated within a block close to the property.

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 in 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 are a Hotel & Spa, Farm shop, restaurants and 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.
