4 bedroom detached house for sale

44 ALMSFORD CLOSE, CASTLE CARY, SOMERSET, BA7 7FF

OPEN DAY SATURDAY 31st JANUARY 10 AM - 1 PM. Booking by appointment only.

A spacious detached four-bedroom property, set within an elevated position, on the edge of this popular development between the high street and railway station.

The property has well-arranged, family-oriented accommodation including an entrance hall, sitting room, kitchen/dining room, utility, cloakroom, and four double bedrooms with three bathrooms set across three floors.

There is ample driveway parking in front of the detached double garage, and a private rear garden.

Accommodation

The property was built in 2020, and since then, it has been lovingly improved by the current owners from a new build to a working family home. The house is situated at the top of the development in an elevated position and enjoys the enviable boundaries to adjoining meadowland and Fairfield Park. The property also enjoys pedestrian access to the latter, making it a super location for dog owners and families.

On the ground floor, the front door leads to a welcoming entrance hall, positioned between the kitchen and sitting room. The stairs rise to the first floor directly ahead as you enter, and beneath the staircase is a cloakroom with a toilet.

The sitting room measures nearly 21' in length, giving room for varying seating arrangements and also benefits from French doors which lead to the garden. This is a feature also enjoyed by the dining room adjacent, which flows into the kitchen in an open-plan style. The kitchen itself has a range of fitted units with integral appliances including a gas hob, mid-level oven and grill, a dishwasher and a fridge/freezer. There is a utility room adjacent, which has plumbing for white goods, further storage, a sink and another door leading out to the garden.

On the first floor, there are three double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The guest bedroom, which is easily big enough to be used as the master room if preferred, has built-in mirror-fronted wardrobes and a stylish en-suite shower room. The bathroom has sleek tiling over the bath, which has an overhead shower, and there is also a loo and basin.

The second floor is entirely occupied by the most impressive master bedroom suite. The room is large enough for a study area too, and is complemented by an en-suite shower room. There are Velux windows which take in the lovely views, particularly special when there is a good sunset.

Outside

The gardens at number 44 face due west, which means they make the most of the afternoon sun and for the midday sun, there is a sun trap gravel/paved seating area to the south. The gardens are fully enclosed and predominantly laid to lawn. The entire southern boundary is adjoined by trees, giving it a sheltered and established feel, a stark contrast to the usual 'overlooked by housing' feel of many new-build properties.

At the front, there is a tarmac driveway in front of the double garage, providing ample parking. The garage has a single up-and-over door, which makes it significantly easier to park inside. Internally, there is light, power, and storage potential above.

Around the back side of the garage, there is a private path which loops into Fairfield Park.

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.

P.S.

A few extra comments

Mortgages – we can help.

Bridging loans – We can help.

Moving house is complicated and stressful when a sale and purchase needs to be tied together in terms of finance and timing.

Sometimes, we can negotiate an agreement that suits both sellers and buyers.

Sometimes, a bridging loan can solve problems and remove stress.

Call us for information on any of these points.
