CREECH VIEW, ANSFORD HILL, CASTLE CARY, BA7 7JN
A substantial and most appealing five bedroom family home with four reception rooms, lovely views and expansive gardens, set on the edge of the market town of Castle Cary. Creech View has spacious accommodation including an entrance hall, sitting room, kitchen breakfast room, dining room, study/family room, conservatory, utility, cloakroom, five bedrooms and two bath/shower rooms. There is ample parking, a double garage and wonderful, mature gardens to the front and rear.

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 Bruton, 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 is 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, there is a local primary school and independent schools include the Sherborne and Bruton schools, Millfield, Wells Cathedral, Hazelgrove and Port Regis.

Accommodation
Creech View has attractive rendered elevations adorned at the front by a climbing wisteria and Hadspen stone porch. The property was built in 1955 and has been occupied by the same family for some 20 years. This is an ideal family home being in walking distance to the schools, high street and railway station.

*
The porch leads into a welcoming entrance hall which connects the main reception rooms of the property. Immediately as you enter, there is a storage cupboard for coats and boots. Also on the left hand side there are the kitchen breakfast and dining rooms. The kitchen enjoys a varied range of fitted units with laminate worktops, and plenty of room for a breakfast table. There is ample room within the units for freestanding appliances including a fridge, cooker, and dishwasher. A side door leads out from the kitchen to the parking area for shopping convenience. The adjoining dining room, linked by a serving hatch, is a well proportioned reception room, enjoying a dual aspect and pretty garden outlook. Also adjoining the kitchen, there is a utility room which has a back door leading to the garden, more cupboards, a sink, and plumbing for washing facilities. There is room for a fridge freezer here, too.

*
Across the hall there are two reception rooms, the sitting room and family room. The family room sits at the front of the house and has previously been used as a study and playroom. The sitting room has an open fireplace and sliding glass doors that lead into the conservatory. The conservatory is ideally situated at the back of the house, enjoying an idyllic view up the garden. There are electric heaters here and French doors leads out. Also on the ground floor there is a cloakroom and storage beneath the stairs. On the first floor there are five bedrooms, all of which being double rooms. The two larger bedrooms at the rear have built in wardrobes and enjoy wonderful views. There are two bathrooms on this floor, one of which having a shower and the family bathroom having both a bath and shower.

The gardens are absolutely stunning, having been well tended and established during the current owners tenure. There is a large main lawn, bounded by a mixture of post and rail fencing and thick mixed hedgerows offering excellent privacy. There are deep flower borders, rose beds, and mature trees including a Silver Birch, Chestnut, and Copper Beech. There are apple and plum trees too.

Places of interest

    About Us Roderick Thomas is an entirely independent firm with decades of experience selling and letting residential property. The firm has offices in Wells, Somerton and Castle Cary and 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 widespread 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 SELLING RIGHTS – one agent is instructed to sell a property and a 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 than sole agency (but not always). All prospective sellers are invited to contact Roderick Thomas to discuss the sale of any property. Lettings We offer landlords a full residential lettings service covering every aspect of the market. This includes finding tenants and agreeing terms and this can be extended to include rent collection and full management if required. Each case is assessed individually to suit a client's needs. Our services are transparent and clearly stated. About You Above are details “about us” and our service. However, this is really about you. We try to make it as easy as possible for you to search for the right type of property in the right area and in the right price range. We very much hope it works for you.
