Stunning new home in the heart of popular Alhampton, just minutes from Castle Cary.

A rare opportunity to own a beautifully crafted new home in Alhampton – the first small exclusive development in the village for over 30 years.

The Willows is one of just four exceptional homes within Bridge Farm — impeccably built, these residences offer modern comfort and energy efficiency while blending seamlessly with their rural surroundings. Inspired by the character of local houses and farm buildings, each property is built using traditional Blue Lias stone and pantile roofs, creating an aesthetic that firmly roots it in the landscape.

Accessed via a private no-through road, just a stone’s throw from village life, The Willows is a large three-bedroom home that has been meticulously and beautifully designed; making it ready to move straight in, whilst still allowing for its new custodians to make their mark with furnishings.

From the moment you step into this fabulous house, every detail speaks of quality. At its heart lies a generous open-plan kitchen and living area spanning over 900 square feet – the perfect space to entertain – where multiple sliding glass doors frame idyllic garden views and fill the space with light. The handmade Shaker kitchen, crafted by renowned local maker David Craigie of Craigie Woodworks, features quartz worktops, a Rangemaster Elise with induction hob and a Fisher & Paykel fridge freezer, with water dispenser and ice maker. The large kitchen island frames this space offering timeless appeal.

Adjoining the kitchen is a practical utility/ boot room lined with storage, providing direct access to the garden and parking area – ideal for leaving those wet wellies after countryside walks. On the opposite side of the main entrance hall, a snug/office and cloakroom complete the ground floor space. The space downstairs flows seamlessly with underfloor heating throughout. A wood-burning stove forms a welcoming focal point in the main living space.

A striking oak staircase leads to a landing and three generously proportioned bedrooms, all serviced with underfloor-heating. The principal suite features a dressing room and en-suite with walk-in shower, while the remaining bedrooms share a beautifully appointed family bathroom with both a bath and a large walk-in shower – tiled with classic Mandarin Stone tiles.

A substantial attic offers excellent storage and potential for conversion above the first floor (subject to consents).

Every home at Bridge Farm is designed for modern, energy-efficient living. Together, these features ensure year-round comfort and lower running costs.

Outside
A sandstone tiled patio flows from the open-plan kitchen creating a wonderful inside/outside feel which is accessed through the wide sliding glass doors. Beyond, an expansive garden with a backdrop of beautiful Willows stretches towards the tranquil banks of the River Alham, a gentle tributary of the River Brue. Picture yourself with a glass of wine in hand, listening to the soft murmur of the water as the sun melts into the sky after a day spent outdoors.

At the front, the property offers ample parking for several vehicles, along with a generous double garage and an additional garden storage room—providing both convenience and privacy in equal measure.

*Please note that this new home is still under construction. The garden area shown will be fenced to separate the neighbouring property and fixtures and fittings in the bathrooms and kitchen are due to be added.
