Situation - Castlebrook Farm is set in the heart of this popular village, which features a charming parish church and a welcoming public house. Surrounded by beautiful countryside, the village lies conveniently between the towns of Street and Somerton.
Street is well known for the Clarks Village shopping outlet and the prestigious Millfield School, while the sought-after town of Somerton offers a quieter atmosphere with a range of independent shops and everyday amenities.
The A303 is approximately 6 miles away, and Castle Cary railway station—providing a mainline service to London Paddington—is within 13 miles. A similar distance lies the larger town of Yeovil, which also benefits from mainline rail links to Exeter and London Waterloo.

Description - Castlebrook Farm centres around a substantial four-bedroom detached village house, constructed principally of local stone beneath a slate roof. In recent years, the property has been tastefully updated, including the installation of a superb integrated kitchen and a contemporary bathroom suite.
A notable feature of Castlebrook Farm is the impressive stone and thatched Grade II listed Tithe Barn, currently undergoing refurbishment with a section of the rear roof being re-thatched. This building presently provides garaging along with a large open-plan room featuring a vaulted ceiling, kitchen area, and a first-floor landing with shower room and bedroom. Offering highly versatile accommodation, it would be well suited for use as a workshop, studio, or ancillary space. An adjoining garden store, set beneath a tiled roof, further enhances its practicality.
Externally, the property benefits from off-road parking, a generous walled front garden, and an enclosed rear garden. In total, the grounds extend to approximately 0.38 acres.

Accommodation - A stone archway opens into the entrance porch, with a timber door leading through to the hallway. This space features a part-tiled floor, a rear-facing window, and an adjoining cloakroom fitted with a low-level WC and vanity unit. The sitting room enjoys dual-aspect views and features a charming brick and stone fireplace complete with bread oven, exposed beam, and window seat. An archway leads into the inner hall, where stairs rise to the first floor and a useful under-stairs cupboard is provided. The lounge/study offers a front-facing window with window seat and a glazed door opening to the side garden. Additional features include a stone fireplace, display shelving, and built-in bookshelves with cupboard beneath.

At the heart of the home lies a superb kitchen/dining room, enjoying triple-aspect views and a stable door opening to the rear. Recently refitted, the kitchen includes a two-bowl ceramic sink with mixer tap, quartz drainer and worktops, a comprehensive range of floor and wall cupboards, and an island unit/breakfast bar with additional storage. Appliances include a Rangemaster Classic Deluxe cooker with two ovens, grill, warming drawer and five induction hobs, built-in dishwasher and washing machine, and an integrated American-style fridge-freezer with surrounding cabinetry. Attractive tiled flooring extends throughout, and a large walk-in boiler cupboard houses the Camray oil-fired boiler and benefits from a side window.

The spacious landing provides access to the roof void and houses a generous airing cupboard with slatted shelving.

A fitted kitchen area includes a single-drainer sink with mixer tap, adjoining worktops, and a range of floor and wall mounted cupboards and drawers. Appliances include a Lamona hob with matching oven and grill, fridge, and washing machine. The space is enhanced by a striking vaulted ceiling with exposed cruck beams and attractive exposed stone walls, making it ideal as an annexe, studio, or ancillary accommodation.

A staircase rises to the first-floor landing, where there is an adjoining shower room comprising a shower cubicle, pedestal wash hand basin, low-level WC, and electric radiator. The first-floor bedroom features a sloping ceiling, front-facing window, and two electric radiators.
