Description
17 Bishop’s Drive (Plot 22)
A beautifully designed three-bedroom semi-detached home forming part of a popular village development by the award-winning B Corp certified developer, Galion.
The property features beautifully designed accommodation including an entrance hall, open-plan kitchen and sitting room, three bedrooms and a family bathroom.
To the rear there is a private rear garden laid to lawn with a sunny seating terrace, and there are two allocated parking spaces.
Accommodation
Constructed using local natural stone and timber, the property has been carefully designed to provide the best of both worlds between traditional materials and modern energy-efficient living. The result is a home that settles easily into its village surroundings, with a strong emphasis on quality, comfort and sustainability throughout.
The accommodation has been thoughtfully planned to suit modern lifestyles, with a light-filled open-plan living space creating a natural flow between the kitchen, dining and sitting areas. Attention to detail is evident throughout, from the carefully chosen finishes to the practical and well-balanced layout.
The kitchen is fitted to a particularly high standard with integrated appliances, quartz worktops and ample storage, whilst underfloor heating to the ground floor and bathroom adds further comfort. Flooring includes LVT throughout the ground floor, together with luxurious 100% pure wool carpets to the stairs and first floor accommodation, elevating the standard from that of a typical new home.
Designed with efficiency in mind, the property benefits from an air source heat pump heating system, super-fast broadband capability and a predicted A/B EPC rating, contributing towards lower running costs and long-term environmental performance.
Outside
The property enjoys a private rear garden together with two allocated parking spaces. The rear garden is laid to lawn with high fencing giving an excellent degree of privacy, ideal for pets and children.
Positioned within a peaceful and well-connected Somerset village, Plot 22 offers an excellent opportunity for first-time buyers, downsizers, or those seeking a highly efficient modern home within an attractive rural setting.

Meadow View and the Local Area
Set just off Ham Street in Baltonsborough, Meadow View is perfectly situated within the village, within walking distance of the surrounding countryside, as well as the shop, pub and primary school - trio of amenities that few villages still enjoy.
The village pub is one of many good establishments in the area, others include The Red Lion at Babcary, The Cross Keys at Lydford, The Manor at Ditcheat and The Crown at Pilton to name a few.
Other villages close by include West Pennnard, Butleigh, Lovington and Keinton Mandeville which all offer ample amenities and facilities including several primary schools, an award winning bakery (Levitos in Lovington), and village stores. There are excellent state and independent schools in the wider area including Millfield, Hazelgrove, Downside, All Hallows, Wells Blue School, Strode College, Wells Cathedral School, Ansford and the Bruton schools.
On the outskirts of the nearby town of Castle Cary (15 minutes) is the railway station with its direct line to Paddington, and the A37 just a two minute drive away provides access south to the A303 for London and the Southwest and north to Bristol and Bath. Castle Cary 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.
“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. Another benefit of living in Baltonsborough is access to local resale tickets of the world renowned Glastonbury Festival which greatly increases chances of securing tickets.
Bruton is located 3 miles north west of Castle Cary, it dates back to Roman times and today is a charming small town with various shops and amenities, including the ‘Hauser & Wirth’ Art & Exhibition Gallery, ‘The Roth Bar & Grill’, the Michelin starred 'Osip', the ever popular dining experience ‘At The Chapel’, and of course an excellent choice of schools including King's School and Sexey's School.
