ABOUT THE AREA
Southwood is a small rural hamlet about a mile south of the village of Baltonsborough between Glastonbury and Castle Cary. The hamlet is within the parish of Baltonsborough, which has a church, primary school, pub, a new shop/café/bakery, village hall and a monthly village magazine giving details of all local activies and societies in this friendly welcoming community. (Google Baltonsborough for more info.)
Glastonbury
Glastonbury's past and present are linked with the dominant landmark of the Tor. It has been a religious centre throughout history and back into the time of legends. There was a Celtic monastery here by 500 AD, which in the next thousand years evolved into one of England's wealthiest and most influential Abbeys. The town grew up alongside the Abbey and is today a small but thriving town and a major tourist venue. Medieval Glastonbury - designated a conservation area clusters around the rocky ruins of the Abbey.
Castle Cary
Castle Cary described by Sir Nikolaus Pevsner the eminent architectural historian, as Somerset's prettiest town, lies 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. On the outskirts of Castle Cary is the railway station with its direct line to Paddington (under 2 hours) and the A303 road link is a few miles south.
Schools
There are excellent state and independent schools in the area including Millfield, Strode College, Wells Cathedral, Hazelgrove, various local primary schools and the Bruton and Sherborne schools.
Directions
From the Greyhound pub in the middle of Baltonsborough go southwards for a mile and turn left towards Southwood. Brook Farm is the first property on the right hand side.

Places of interest
About Us Roderick Thomas is an entirely independent firm with decade of experience selling and letting residential property. The firm has offices in Bristol (Clifton), Wells, Wedmore and Castle Cary and with its networked associate office in London covers a wide geographical area. The focus is to deliver a high level of service to clients to achieve the best sale or rental possible within a set timescale. The importance of wide spread advertising and effective marketing is recognised and with each property an individual campaign is planned. Having attracted buyers the next stage is negotiation and the firm prides itself on securing an agreement on the best terms and then progressing the sale to completion. Ongoing discussion with all parties including solicitors ensures an agreed timetable is maintained and hitches are anticipated when possible and addressed with action taken if necessary. Focusing fully on sales and letting and not being burdened with “head office” costs Roderick Thomas is able to offer highly competitive commission rates on all agency terms. These include: Sales SOLE AGENCY – one agent is instructed to sell a property and commission is paid to the agent on completion of the sale. JOINT AGENCY – two (occasionally more) agents are instructed. They work in conjunction and share the commission on completion. The rate is usually higher than the sole agency. MULTI AGENCY – two (or occasionally more) agents are instructed. They work in competition and only the agent who sells receives a commission on completion. Again this is usually at a higher rate then sole agency (but not always). All prospective sellers are invited to contact Roderick Thomas to discuss the sale of any property. Lettings We offer landlords a full residential lettings service covering every aspect of the market. This includes finding tenants and agreeing terms and this can be extended to include rent collection and full management if required. Each case is assessed individually to suit a clients needs.
