Description

CANTERBURY BELLS, ANSFORD HILL, CASTLE CARY, SOMERSET, BA7 7JL

A deceptively spacious and beautifully updated detached chalet bungalow with mature south-facing gardens, garage and ample parking.

The accommodation includes an entrance hall, sitting room, dining room, kitchen & breakfast room, cloakroom, ground floor bedroom with shower room, two first floor double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Outside, there is ample driveway parking in front of a single garage. In addition, expansive gardens are enjoying a southerly aspect and complete privacy. 

Accommodation
Enjoying a peaceful position on the outskirts of the town, Canterbury Bells is a detached chalet bungalow that offers flexible and well-proportioned accommodation and extensively re-landscaped gardens. The property provides an excellent opportunity to move straight into a bright and modern home with established gardens, ample parking within walking distance of the town centre and railway station. 

The welcoming entrance hall with parquet flooring leads to a triple-aspect sitting room featuring a fireplace and French doors opening to the conservatory, which in turn gives access to the garden. The recently refurbished kitchen/dining/family room is fitted with an attractive range of grey high-gloss wall and base units with integrated oven and hob, offering excellent space for both cooking and entertaining.

An inner hallway leads to a refurbished shower room, and a ground-floor bedroom currently used as a study, together. Completing the ground floor, there is a dining room and a cloakroom with a WC.

On the first floor are two double bedrooms, each with fitted wardrobes, and a family bathroom. The property’s layout lends itself well to a variety of needs, from family living to those seeking a home with ground-floor bedroom options.

Outside
The property is approached via a gravelled driveway providing ample parking and leading to the attached single garage. Further parking has been created too, with a newly added resin parking area in front of the house.

Attractive herbaceous beds frame the frontage, with a wooden gate opening to the southerly facing rear gardens. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn and bordered by mature hedging and walling, with an excellent level of privacy. There are numerous well-stocked flowerbeds and shrubs, a newly laid paved seating area enjoying the sunny aspect, a greenhouse, and a rear gate giving access to Orchard Close.

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, 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 are a Hotel & Spa, a Farm shop, restaurants and a house & garden shop. Local residents benefit from reduced membership.

Castle Cary 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 Sherborne and Bruton schools, Millfield, Wells Cathedral, Hazelgrove and Port Regis.

Mains gas, water, drainage and electricity. Solar photovoltaic panels are installed, too.
