Lodge Court is an attractive courtyard development of just five properties, built with handsome Cary stone elevations under slate tiled roofs. The properties benefit from an ideal location with easy access to the town centre and the surrounding countryside.

The front door leads to a welcoming entrance hall with a staircase immediately ahead, rising to the first-floor galleried landing. On the ground floor, there is a large 20-foot-long sitting room which enjoys many features, including ceiling roses, an open fire with an ornate surround and alcoves with storage to either side. The high ceilings and westerly aspect make this an incredibly light and airy room.

The kitchen adjoins the dining room in an open-plan style, ideal for sociable living. There is plenty of storage within the kitchen, as well as room for a freestanding full-height fridge and washing machine. There is a mid-level oven with a grill above, and a gas hob with an extractor. In addition, there is a side door leading out to the garden. The dining room is an exceptionally spacious living area, capable of housing both a dining table and sofas for a mixture of formal and relaxed seating. Also on the ground floor, there is a shower room with a toilet and a basin.

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, two of which are doubles and the third is a spacious single room. The master bedroom is of generous proportions, with ample built-in storage and a dual aspect. The second bedroom also has built-in cupboards and bookshelves. The first-floor shower room features a large shower cubicle with updated tiling, plus a heated towel rail, basin and toilet.

Outside

In front of the property, there is ample allocated parking for residents and guests, a rarity in a location of this proximity to amenities. Additionally, there is a garage as well.

At the rear, a split-level, low-maintenance courtyard features various seating positions to maximise the sunny westerly aspect.

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 within 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.
