DENE COTTAGE, SOUTH STREET, CASTLE CARY, BA7 7ES
A charming grade II listed three bedroom cottage in one of Somerset's prettiest streets, situated within the market town of Castle Cary. Dene Cottage has characterful accommodation including a sitting room, kitchen, dining room, three double bedrooms and a family bathroom. To the rear is a delightful walled garden with two stores.
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 a number of traditional shops and boutiques within the Conservation Area in which 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 in easy driving distance.

"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.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.
Accommodation
Dene Cottage has attractive Hadspen stone elevations under a slate tiled roof. As evidenced by the two doors to the front elevation, the property was formerly two cottages before being merged into a single dwelling. Plenty of character remains including flagstone floors, feature fireplaces and casement windows. The front door enters the sitting room which spans the entire depth of the property having an aspect to both directions. At the rear is a door out to the garden. In the heart of the room is an open fireplace and there are further character features including a window seat to the front and flagstone floors which can be found throughout the entire ground floor.
*
In a semi open plan style the sitting room connects into the kitchen where there are modern fitted units with wooden work surfaces and integral appliances including a dishwasher, fridge, freezer, washing machine, and an oven with gas hob above. The beautiful, large ceramic sink with mixer tap looks out over the garden at the rear. The dining room adjoins both the kitchen and sitting room and enjoys an outlook over South Street at the front. Upstairs there are three double bedrooms all enjoying built in storage with the master bedroom having a feature fireplace too. All three rooms share the family bathroom which was upgraded in 2018 with a new shower, roll top bath, basin and w/c.
Outside
There is a splendid garden at the back of the house with a high Hadspen stone wall to the eastern perimeter. Adjoining the wall, there are two outbuildings, one of which is an ideal garden store for tools and machinery. The rest of the garden is laid to lawn with pretty, flowering climbers along the boundary fence and rear elevation.

About this agent
About Us Roderick Thomas is an entirely independent firm with decade of experience selling and letting residential property. The firm has offices in Bristol (Clifton), Wells, Wedmore and Castle Cary and with its networked associate office in London covers a wide geographical area. The focus is to deliver a high level of service to clients to achieve the best sale or rental possible within a set timescale. The importance of wide spread advertising and effective marketing is recognised and with each property an individual campaign is planned. Having attracted buyers the next stage is negotiation and the firm prides itself on securing an agreement on the best terms and then progressing the sale to completion. Ongoing discussion with all parties including solicitors ensures an agreed timetable is maintained and hitches are anticipated when possible and addressed with action taken if necessary. Focusing fully on sales and letting and not being burdened with “head office” costs Roderick Thomas is able to offer highly competitive commission rates on all agency terms. These include: Sales SOLE AGENCY – one agent is instructed to sell a property and commission is paid to the agent on completion of the sale. JOINT AGENCY – two (occasionally more) agents are instructed. They work in conjunction and share the commission on completion. The rate is usually higher than the sole agency. MULTI AGENCY – two (or occasionally more) agents are instructed. They work in competition and only the agent who sells receives a commission on completion. Again this is usually at a higher rate then sole agency (but not always). All prospective sellers are invited to contact Roderick Thomas to discuss the sale of any property.
