Lower Ansford, CASTLE CARY, SOMERSET, BA7

Step inside....

Step into Almora and instantly feel the stress of the day melt away. Positioned on the edge of vibrant Castle Cary, this bright and beautifully presented home spans over 1,200 sq. ft., delivering the ultimate blend of laid-back countryside charm and effortless, modern living.

The heart of this home is built around entertaining and relaxing. Opening the glazed double doors into the generous sitting room, your eyes are immediately drawn to the glass sliding doors that frame those incredible, far-reaching Somerset vistas. Step straight out onto your private raised terrace; it's the ultimate alfresco sanctuary to sip your morning coffee, host summer BBQs, or unwind with a glass of wine as the sun sets behind Glastonbury Tor.

Flowing seamlessly from the living spaces, the shaker-style kitchen is designed to be as functional as it is inviting, flooded with morning sunlight from the large front window. With a gas hob, built-in electric oven, and an adjacent side lobby/utility keeping laundry and outdoor gear neatly tucked out of sight, effortless daily living comes naturally here.

The bedrooms offer complete versatility to match your lifestyle. Two peaceful, light-filled double bedrooms sit alongside a sleek, modern family bathroom, perfect for quiet evenings and restful nights.

What truly sets Almora apart is its clever multi-generational and business flexibility. The cleverly adapted garage wing functions as its own independent sanctuary, complete with a third double bedroom, dedicated shower room, and a hobby room featuring its own private external door.

If you run a home business, particularly a therapy, counselling, wellness, or holistic practice, this layout is an absolute dream come true. Clients can access the practice directly via the side pathway without setting foot into your main private living space. The peaceful, elevated setting, tranquil garden outlooks, and dedicated shower facilities create a warm, calming environment that instantly puts clients at ease while keeping your work and home lives blissfully separated. Alternatively, the space easily adapts into a private suite for extended family or a lucrative Airbnb.

Step Outside....

Arriving home is a breeze thanks to the generous block-paved driveway providing comfortable parking for four cars, framed by a charming front garden filled with mature shrubs. Convenient pathways on either side of the bungalow lead smoothly around to the rear, a peaceful haven rich with fruit trees, lush lawns, clever storage beneath the terrace, and a garden shed for all your garden tools.
