3 bedroom cottage to rent

Spire Cottage, Station Road, Castle Cary, Somerset, BA7 7BX

A well-presented 3-bedroom end-of-terrace cottage within walking distance of Castle Cary High Street.

Accomodation

On entering the house, the first room you come into is the lounge – spacious, with a big window to the front. There’s a radiator, an electric-burning stove set into the fireplace (though it could be opened up if you prefer a real fire), laminate flooring, and a TV point. Doors lead through to the kitchen/diner and a separate office.

The kitchen has slate-tiled flooring and a modern setup with a breakfast bar, built-in electric oven, gas hob, and stainless steel sink and drainer. There’s space for a fridge/freezer and washing machine, and plenty of base storage units. A window looks out to the garden, and there’s also a door opening directly onto it.

The dining area benefits from a front window bringing in lots of natural light. It also has a fireplace and generous built-in storage.

Off the lounge is a versatile room currently used as a home office/gym. It’s carpeted, fitted with spotlights, and has a window looking into the conservatory.

The conservatory itself is a useful addition, providing extra living accommodation with plenty of light and direct views over the garden.

Carpeted stairs, accessible from both the lounge and the dining room, rise to the first floor. The landing gives access to all bedrooms and the family bathroom.

The bathroom is fitted with vinyl flooring and includes a WC, wash hand basin with vanity unit, bath with overhead electric shower, heated towel rail, extractor fan, and a window bringing in natural light.

Bedroom one is carpeted, with a radiator, window, and plenty of built-in storage.

Bedroom two includes a feature log store, an en suite with toilet and wash hand basin, and a window to the front.

Bedroom three, which is currently being used as a home office, is fitted with carpets and would serve as a single room.

Outside

To the rear of the property is a low maintainance fully enclosed garden mainly laid to shingle. There is a garden shed and a raised lawned area which is a perfect spot for a table and chairs.

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.
