7 Fourways Close, Castle Cary, Somerset, BA7 7JF

A beautifully presented detached bungalow just a short stroll from Castle Cary High Street. The property offers light and versatile living space, attractive gardens, ample parking, and a large cabin with excellent potential for a home office or studio.

Accommodation

This stylishly presented detached bungalow enjoys an excellent position just a short stroll from Castle Cary High Street.

The property is entered via a welcoming entrance hall, with access to the principal rooms and a loft housing the central heating boiler. The sitting room is a generous space, centred around a ‘Morso’ wood-burning stove set on a Blue Lias stone hearth beneath a wooden lintel. Double doors open out to the rear decking, and internal double doors lead through to the conservatory. This light-filled room benefits from electric underfloor heating and lends itself to a variety of uses, with doors also leading into the kitchen and a useful storage area.

The kitchen is well fitted with a good range of wall and base units, finished with granite-effect worktops and an inset one-and-a-half bowl sink. Appliances include an integrated dishwasher, electric oven, and hob with a cooker hood above. There is also plumbing and space for a washing machine and fridge/freezer. A utility cupboard provides additional storage, while a window to the front offers a pleasant view over the front garden.

There are three good-sized bedrooms. The principal bedroom includes a fitted wardrobe and a rear garden aspect. The second bedroom is another well-proportioned double, again with garden views, while the third looks out to the front garden. The bathroom is fully tiled and includes a bath with a shower over, a fitted vanity unit with a wash basin providing generous storage, WC, and an electric towel rail.

Outside

The gardens are a particular feature. To the front, large gates secure a gravel driveway with ample parking for several cars. The garden here is mainly lawned, with timber fencing and hedged boundaries. To the rear, the garden is completely private and includes a lawn with a decked seating area and a timber shed. A further benefit is a substantial wooden cabin at the front of the property. Currently used as a beauty salon, it offers excellent versatility and could serve a number of alternative purposes.

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 several 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 are a Hotel & Spa, a Farm shop, restaurants and a 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.
