5 PARK PLACE, CASTLE CARY, BA7 7EG

Accommodation
Accommodation5 Park Place is probably the best located bungalow in the entirety of Castle Cary. The property sits at the end of the cul-de-sac at the foot of Lodge Hill and the wrap around gardens adjoining the beautiful park pond. In addition the property is less than a one minute walk to the High Street and all amenities with level access to and from the property. The bungalow itself requires some cosmetic improvement but the potential is immense. Entering the property, there is an internal lobby with space to hang coats which then opens to a central entrance hall. The sitting room on the right hand side enjoys an idyllic view, as well as having a feature Hampton fireplace, and an open plan flow into the dining room.

*
The kitchen also adjoins the dining room, and requires updating. Currently, there is an electric cooker, and fitted units with laminate worktops. Leading off the kitchen, there is a conservatory which enjoys a lovely aspect of the garden.There are three bedrooms at 5 Park Place, each large enough to fit a double bed and two have built-in wardrobes. The bathroom has a bath with overhead shower, basin and WC.

Outside
At the front of the property there is a driveway providing parking for one vehicle in front of the garage which has an up-and-over door, and a back door into the garden. The gardens wrap around the house, sitting beneath the stunning back drop to the rear. Very few properties in the countryside have a view quite so impressive, let alone a bungalow in the town centre.

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 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.

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. Call us now on the number displayed or press the Contact Agent button- we look forward to hearing from you.
