Accommodation
Nestled in a quiet village position, this substantial four bedroom detached house sits within approximately 1.87 acres, including a paddock filled with specimen trees and wild flowers to create a haven for wildlife. There is ample parking at the front and a side driveway leads round to the double garage. The generous proportions and characterful features give this property immense potential.

A veranda porch shelters the front door, which opens into an entrance hall with a cloakroom and stairs rising to the first floor.

The sitting room enjoys a double aspect, with sliding patio doors to the rear patio and a beautifully crafted Bath stone fireplace with inset wood burning stove.

The kitchen/dining room forms the heart of the house. The kitchen area is equipped with a green Aga, a variety of drawers, cupboards and units, a porcelain sink with mixer taps, and integral dishwasher and fridge/freezer. A window overlooks the garden, and the space is finished with attractive wall tiling. Adjacent is a dining area with a front facing window. The rustic tiled floor extends throughout, and recessed LED downlighting ensures the room remains bright and welcoming.

Off the kitchen lies the utility room, featuring additional units, a sink, space and plumbing for a washing machine, and the gas boiler for central heating which was installed in 2021. An internal door leads directly to the garage, and an external obscure glazed door offers additional access.

Completing the ground floor, there is a study with an outlook of the garden.

Upstairs the landing provides access to an airing cupboard and a loft hatch. There are four bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes and a pleasant outlook of the surroundings, particularly the bedrooms at the rear which overlook the garden. The master bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room, and the additional bedrooms share use of the family bathroom.

Outside
At the front of the property, a low stone wall separates the property from the village lane, and an entrance within leads to an expansive parking area in front of the house. Vehicular access alongside the house leads round to the double garage with dual up and over doors, side door, light, and power.

At the rear, a terrace shaded by a pergola adorned with wisteria and vine provides sheltered outdoor seating. The garden is well-established throughout, secured by high and thick mixed hedgerows and set out to a mix of spacious lawned areas and deep borders. Within the garden, there is a log store, garden shed and greenhouse.

The garden flows into the adjoining field which is designated to be a haven for wildlife with many species of trees, a central wild flower meadow and immersive privacy throughout.

About the area
Greystones is perfectly located in proximity to excellent local schools, including Millfield, Hazelgrove, and, indeed, the village Primary School. In the immediate locality, there is a village store, a church, a pub, and playing fields all within walking distance. Keinton Mandeville is named in the Domesday Book, dating back to at least Roman times. It's a thriving and friendly village with various clubs and societies. One of the best features of the village is that there are many bridleways and footpaths in the immediate vicinity, permitting many hours of countryside walks within easy reach, ideal for dog walkers and wildlife lovers.

The nearby towns of Castle Cary, Glastonbury, Street & Somerton all provide a good range of facilities, whilst Wells, Sherborne, Yeovil, Taunton, Bath, and Bristol are all within easy reach. The A303 is a few miles south, and Castle Cary Station has a regular mainline service to Paddington.

There are good state and independent schools in the area, including Ansford, Strode College, Crispin, Millfield, Hazlegrove, and the Wells, Sherborne, and Bruton schools.

“The Newt in Somerset”, just outside Castle Cary, is home to beautiful countryside walks set on the grounds of a Georgian country estate. Within the estate there is a Hotel & Spa, a Farm shop, restaurants and a house & garden shop.

Bruton is located 3 miles northwest of Castle Cary, it dates back to Roman times and today is a charming small town with various shops and amenities, including the 'Hauser & Wirth' Art & Exhibition Gallery, 'The Roth Bar & Grill', the Michelin starred 'Osip', the ever popular dining experience 'At The Chapel', and of course an excellent choice of schools including King's School and Sexey's School.
