Description

This three-bedroom mid-terrace house is positioned thoughtfully away from the road, nestled among a small row of just three homes. Upon arrival, you are greeted by an expansive off-road parking area that can accommodate several vehicles, complete with a car port and a detached outbuilding. Notably, the outbuilding has received planning permission for use in support of the main residence, enhancing its appeal as a versatile space. A shared pathway leads you to the front entrance, which opens into a welcoming hallway. To the right lies a bright sitting room that flows seamlessly into a spacious kitchen/diner. The kitchen offers practical features such as ample cabinetry and work surfaces, along with built-in appliances for modern convenience. Venturing upstairs reveals a family shower room and three well-proportioned bedrooms, all benefiting from natural light. An additional staircase leads to an attic room that has been converted into what could serve as a fourth bedroom; however, it currently lacks official building control approval for designation as living accommodation. While the property has been maintained over time, it presents significant renovation potential. A cosmetic update would transform this space into a home tailored to personal style preferences and contemporary standards. The outdoor areas further enhance this property's appeal. The front garden is predominantly laid to lawn and includes both a timber shed and summerhouse, offering pleasant outdoor spaces for relaxation or recreation. The covered yard behind the house provides secondary access and storage opportunities. Located in Castle Cary, this home benefits from being part of an attractive market town rich in character with its iconic honey-colored stone buildings. The town boasts diverse independent shops and amenities including schools at various educational levels, health services, and local businesses that contribute to its vibrant community atmosphere. The nearby countryside offers beautiful walking paths and recreational options; notably, The Newt in Somerset provides extensive grounds featuring hotel facilities, restaurants, and other amenities just outside town. Accessibility is also strong here with direct rail links to Paddington via Castle Cary station and convenient access to major roadways like the A303. Investors will find this property particularly appealing due to its growth potential within an area recognized for its quality of life and community spirit. With thoughtful renovations and updates, this home could become both a charming residence or an attractive rental opportunity in a desirable location.
