Accommodation
A particularly appealing detached period cottage constructed of Cary stone, with origins believed to date from the 16th century. The property offers generous and highly versatile accommodation extending to approximately 1,836 sq. ft, together with attractive gardens, all set within the small hamlet of Clanville, just a short distance from Castle Cary station.

The house retains a wealth of character throughout, including exposed beams, traditional fireplaces and an impressive inglenook with wood burning stove. The ground floor provides excellent flexibility with four separate reception rooms, well suited to modern family living or home working. These include a snug or study with brick fireplace and fitted window seat, a welcoming dual-aspect sitting room centred around the inglenook fireplace, a further family room and a dining room opening onto the garden.

The kitchen is fitted in a traditional farmhouse style with wooden worktops and space for a range cooker, with adjoining utility room and ground floor shower room providing practical day-to-day convenience.

Upstairs are three double bedrooms, each with individual character. The principal bedroom is particularly notable, displaying exposed timber framing with historic wattle and daub infill. In addition, there is a bathroom and separate shower room. 

Outside
The gardens are a particularly attractive feature, being well established and enclosed, with areas of lawn, mature borders and a gravelled section incorporating an ornamental pond. Various seating areas provide ideal spots to enjoy the setting, whilst a courtyard to the rear offers a more sheltered space.

A stone-chipped driveway to the side provides off-road parking for several vehicles.

About the area
Clanville is a small hamlet, set a short distance west of the market town of Castle Cary. The hamlet benefits from a lovely community, and extremely easy access to the local railway station.  

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 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.

A few extra comments
Mortgages – we can help.
