Description

40 ALMSFORD CLOSE,  
ANSFORD, CASTLE CARY, BA7 7FF

A deceptively spacious and immaculately presented three-bedroom townhouse-style home in this sought-after, popular residential development, just a short distance from Castle Cary High Street. 

The property has been kept in pristine condition and presents like new with accommodation including an entrance hall, sitting room, kitchen dining room, study, two cloakrooms, three bedrooms, one en-suite and a family bathroom.

There is driveway parking, an integral garage and a fully enclosed south-westerly-facing rear garden.

Accommodation
40 Almsford Close was built in 2020, and thanks to the owners’ care, it still presents as a brand-new property, only that it has been much improved since then with an array of considered homely touches. The property still benefits from the remainder of its NHBC warranty. It would make an ideal first or second home, a bolt-hole or an investment property. The development is ideally situated between the High Street and the Rail Station, offering convenience for both daily needs and commuting. The house occupies an advantageous position on the outskirts of the development with an outlook over a field to the rear.

A porch shelters the front door, which leads into the welcoming entrance hall, where there is a cloakroom and access to the sitting room at the back of the house. The sitting room is a well-proportioned living space with stylish timber panelling and French doors opening to a Juliet balcony overlooking the garden.

Steps lead down to the lower ground floor, where there is a well-appointed kitchen, dining room with tiled flooring and French doors leading to the south-westerly facing terrace. The owners have upgraded the kitchen with tiled splashbacks, which complement the grey wood-effect worktops and high gloss kitchen cabinetry. There is an integrated fridge freezer, a dishwasher, a mid-level oven with grill above and a separate gas hob. There is also plumbing and room beneath the worktop for a washing machine. Also on the lower ground floor, there is a second cloakroom and a study with a garden outlook.

On the first floor, there are two double bedrooms and a single bedroom, which is currently utilised as a dressing room. The master bedroom has an en-suite shower room, and there is a separate family bathroom which has a bath, basin, w/c and stylish wall tiles. The master bedroom and third room enjoy fine views in a westerly direction and therefore enjoy superb sunsets. There is a loft above, accessible from the landing, which is boarded with additional built-in shelving, plus lighting and a power socket.

Outside
Immediately in front of the house, there is driveway parking for two cars. In addition, there is an integral garage with a pedestrian door leading directly into the house.

To the rear, there is a fully enclosed garden which has undergone a scheme of re-landscaping, which makes it essentially maintenance-free. There is a high-quality artificial turf lawn, and a sun trap seating terrace with a sheltering pergola above. This is the perfect spot in which to dine al fresco.

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, there 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.

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.
