Description

8 COOMBE CLOSE, CASTLE CARY, BA7 7HJ

An exceptionally spacious and versatile five-bedroom family home, quietly positioned within a sought-after cul-de-sac just moments from the centre of Castle Cary.

8 Coombe Close has vastly improved, light and airy accommodation, including a porch, entrance hall, sitting room, kitchen/breakfast room, dining room, garden room, study, ground floor shower room, five bedrooms, one en-suite and a family bathroom. 

There is an expansive parking area at the front of the property, an integral garage, and a well-landscaped, private garden to the rear.

Accommodation
8 Coombe Close occupies a prominent position within this established cul-de-sac, conveniently placed for the town centre, schools, playing fields and railway station, all of which are within easy walking distance. The house has been immensely improved by the current owners, with alterations including complete redecorations, new bathroom suites, electrics, and landscaping, to name a few. 

The front door opens into a practical porch with space for coats and boots, leading through to a spacious and welcoming entrance hall.

The principal sitting room is a particularly impressive reception space extending to almost 22 feet in length, centred around a gas fire and opening seamlessly into the garden room, creating an excellent family living and entertaining area. Off the sitting room is a useful study with herringbone-style flooring, ideal for home working.

To the rear of the property is the kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with a comprehensive range of units and incorporating integral appliances including a Rangemaster cooker and dishwasher, together with space for an American-style fridge freezer. French doors open directly onto the garden terrace, allowing for easy indoor and outdoor living. Double doors connect the kitchen to the spacious dining room with LVT flooring, at the front of the house, providing further flexibility for family living. Also on the ground floor is a re-fitted shower room together with a useful boiler cupboard.

On the first floor there are five bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly generous and benefits from an en-suite shower room, walk-in wardrobe and additional built-in storage. Three further double bedrooms also enjoy fitted wardrobes. The family bathroom is newly fitted with a bath and overhead shower, sleek aqua panels, a wash basin and a WC.

Outside
To the front of the property, there is an extensive driveway providing parking for several vehicles, together with access to the integral garage, which has an up-and-over door and internal access back into the house.

The rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped and offers a high degree of privacy. Predominantly laid to lawn, it is bordered by well-stocked flower beds and mature planting, as well as a substantial paved terrace ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining and a summer house.

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 several traditional shops and boutiques within the Conservation Area, and 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 on the grounds of a Georgian country estate. The estate has a Hotel & Spa, a Farm shop, restaurants and a 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.

There is planning permission for a single storey extension to the rear. Planning Ref: 22/02739/HOU

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.
