Description

20 CASTLE RISE, CASTLE CARY, SOMERSET, BA7 7ND

An extremely conveniently situated three-bedroom double-fronted property, set within a stone's throw from Castle Cary High Street.

The property has light-filled accommodation including an entrance hall, sitting room, kitchen, dining room, cloakroom, three bedrooms and two bath/shower rooms. 

There is a southwesterly-facing private courtyard garden, driveway parking and a garage. No onward chain.


Accommodation
20 Castle Rise is positioned in a quiet cul-de-sac, extremely close to all of the town's amenities. The house features attractive red brick elevations set beneath a slate tiled roof and enjoys light and airy accommodation throughout. The property is an ideal home for a buyer looking for complete convenience and ease of access to the high street; alternatively, it would make a perfect investment or lock-up-and-leave.

The front door leads to a hallway where there is a cloakroom and doors leading into the sitting room and kitchen. The sitting room has a dual aspect and a wood-effect electric fire. A door at the rear opens into the dining room, which adjoins the kitchen. The kitchen and dining room could be knocked into one if desired to create a large open-plan living space. The current configuration allows for a formal dining space and a separate kitchen with plenty of units and a door leading into the garden. There is a mid-level electric oven and grill, and a gas hob. In addition, there is further room beneath the countertops for white goods. 

The master bedroom is generously proportioned and benefits from an en-suite shower room which has a shower cubicle, a basin and w/c. The further two bedrooms have use of the family shower room, which has recently been fitted with a high-standard walk-in shower with a rainfall shower head. 

Outside
To the south west of the property, there is a sunny walled courtyard garden with ample room for garden furniture. There is attractive planting around the perimeter, including a particularly pretty rose bed. The garden enjoys excellent privacy and is designed to be of low maintenance. 

From the garden, a door leads to the garage, which has driveway parking in front, as well as light, power and an up-and-over door.

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. The Newt have also acquired the George Inn and Chinns in the Market Place, with exciting plans in place to upgrade the properties and reopen the pub after its full restoration.

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.

P.S. 
A few extra comments
Mortgages – we can help. 
Bridging loans – We can help.
Moving house is complicated and stressful when a sale and purchase needs to be tied together in terms of finance and timing.
Sometimes, we can negotiate an agreement that suits both sellers and buyers.
Sometimes, a bridging loan can solve problems and remove stress.
Call us for information on any of these points.
