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, 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.

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.
