5 MULBERRY LANE, LOVINGTON, BA7 7GR
Accommodation
The properties at Mulberry Lane are part of a small and exclusive development which was completed by locally renowned developers Will and James Habershon at the end of 2020/early 2021. They were thoughtfully designed by Ed Medlicott of Orme Architects with a focus on "high quality, sustainable design that is both pragmatic and beautiful." On this note, the property comes with a Mitsubishi air source heat pump, which is great for keeping energy bills down and keeping in line with the green initiative.
*
5 Mulberry Lane has attractive, local blue lias stone and larch wood clad elevations under a tiled roof, and has only been improved during the current owners tenure having been looked after so meticulously. One of the main changes the owners have made is the conversion of part of the garage to provide a study while maintaining an ample amount of storage in the garage area for bicycles and garden tools or machinery. There are high ceilings throughout the house, giving a great feeling of space and light.
*
The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall which leads directly into the sitting room and kitchen which like the study sit at the rear of the house, enjoying lovely garden aspects. The kitchen has a sleek modern design with white quartz surfaces and high quality Bosch and Neff integral appliances. There are french doors leading out to the garden and engineered oak flooring which spans throughout the ground floor with underfloor heating. The sitting room is a well proportioned living area which connects through to the study where there is in-built book casing and a view of the garden. Also on the ground floor, there is a cloakroom which like the splash backs in the kitchen has been tastefully re-tiled, plus a utility providing further storage and room for a washing machine and tumble drier.
*
There are three generously sized bedrooms on the first floor, all easily doubles. The master bedroom has a built-in Sharp wardrobe, and an en-suite with walk-in shower, basin, w/c, and heated towel rail. Both the en-suite and the family bathroom have porcelain tiling, Merlyn showers and Vado sanitary ware. There is ample storage space along the eves of the first floor.
Outside
The owners have vastly improved the garden which was a blank canvas at the time of purchase and is now a beautiful haven in which to enjoy. There is a completely private seating terrace with trellis surround and pergola above. In addition there are deep borders full of flowering plants and maturing shrubbery. A well-manicured lawn fills the garden and surrounds the vibrant flower beds, and there are beautiful countryside views beyond the garden in a westerly direction. The westerly outlook ensures the sun can be enjoyed throughout the afternoon. There is a rear tap and electric points by the patio areas. In front of the house there is private parking for the property and of course ample storage at the front of the garage conversion as mentioned with an electric up and over door providing access. Further visitor parking is available just across the street. There is an electric Car Charging Point by the parking area.

About the area
Lovington is a small popular village with a church, award winning artisan bakery with coffee shop, and primary school. The property sits centrally within the village with immediate access out to wonderful local coutryside with many footpaths and bridleways within a short walk from the house. The village has an active local community with frequent events for all ages including Lovington Festival and the nearby villages of Hornblotton and North Barrow also have frequent social events. Lovington stands a few miles west of Castle Cary which was described as Somerset's prettiest town by Sir Nikolaus Pevsner.
*
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 Glastonbury, Street, Wells, Somerton, Frome, Wincanton, Bruton, Sherborne and Yeovil are all close by. Bath, Bristol, Exeter and Taunton, are in easy driving distance. Also within an hours drive is the Dorset coast which is the perfect day trip or short stay away from home.
*
"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. Due to the property's close proximity to The Newt, residents enjoy local membership at a great discount. Another benefit of living in Lovington is access to local resale tickets of the world renowned Glastonbury Festival which greatly increases chances of securing tickets.
*
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 and independent schools in the area including Ansford Academy (excellent exam grades), Hazlegrove, Millfield, the Sherborne and Bruton schools, Wells Cathedral and Strode College.
