Hadspen, Castle Cary, Somerset, BA7 7LX

Walking into the ground floor, you are welcomed by three generous reception rooms, each with its own character and offering excellent flexibility for family life and entertaining.

The sitting room is particularly inviting, south facing with plenty of natural light with exposed beams, a handsome stone fireplace with an LPG fire and French doors opening onto the rear terrace. The LPG fire can very easily be removed to utilise the stone fireplace behind.

The adjoining study is unusually spacious and reflects the property's agricultural past, having historically housed the cider press.

The centrally positioned dining room features a brick fireplace with wood burner, providing a lovely setting for formal meals and entertaining.

The kitchen/breakfast room is equally well proportioned, with a double aspect, extensive storage and space for a large farmhouse table, while a generous utility room, cloakroom and internal access to the double garage add practicality.

Ascending to the first floor, you will find five well-proportioned bedrooms, including a generous principal bedroom with dual aspect views and its own ensuite bathroom. A further bedroom also benefits from an ensuite, while the remaining bedrooms are served by the family bathroom and shower room.

Several bedrooms are notably spacious, with the largest offering flexibility as guest accommodation, a self-contained suite or additional living space. A spacious landing and double-height stairwell add to the feeling of light and volume.

Externally, the property truly shines. The gardens are beautifully established with a wonderful English character, featuring mature shrubs, cottage-garden planting, hollyhocks, roses, clematis and established trees. A terrace runs along the rear of the house, accessed directly from the reception rooms and providing an ideal setting for outdoor dining while enjoying the peace in the afternoon and early evening sun. Beyond the formal garden is a productive vegetable garden with espalier fruit trees and raspberry beds, while a rose arbour creates a charming transition towards the wider grounds.

Beyond the garden lies a gently rising paddock, extending the property into the surrounding countryside and offering wonderful views across the Hadspen Valley. The total landholding extends to approximately 4.4 acres, providing plenty of scope for those seeking a genuine country lifestyle. A separate single garage complements the attached double garage, with driveway parking and potential to enlarge and develop the area if required.

For those who appreciate the outdoors, the property enjoys an exceptionally peaceful rural position with countryside immediately surrounding the house. Numerous footpaths, bridleways and quiet lanes nearby provide excellent opportunities for walking, cycling and riding, while Castle Cary and its amenities remain conveniently accessible.

The house offers a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and characterful five-bedroom Hadspen stone country house, combining generous accommodation, established gardens, a paddock and approximately 4.4 acres of land. Its peaceful position at the head of the Hadspen Valley, coupled with the convenience of Castle Cary and the wider attractions of Bruton and the surrounding countryside, makes this a truly special Somerset property.
