Florida Street, Castle, BA7

An attractive semi-detached cottage, built of Cary stone, tucked away within one of the town's most sought-after roads, a stone's throw from the town centre amenities. Significant work on the property was undertaken by the current owners during their tenure however further modernisation is required, the property includes two double bedrooms, two reception rooms and a generous garden. 

A door to the front of the cottage opens into a central entrance hall, which has a flagstone floor (continued through majority of ground floor), the staircase to the first floor, an under-stairs cupboard and access into a shower room (which requires refitting). To the left of the hall is the main reception room, which is well-proportioned and has two double glazed windows to the front. Across the hall is a separate dining room, fitted with a wood burning stove and also with a double glazed window to the front. Adjoining the dining room is the kitchen at the side of the cottage, which in turn leads out to the garden and to a ground floor WC (not currently in use). On the first floor, there are two good size double bedrooms with a family bathroom located in between. The property is served by gas-fired central heating. 

The property is accessed via a gated pathway whereby there is a right of access, continuing past the neighbouring property. There is an excellent size garden which includes a useful workshop/outside store at the bottom. 

Location:

Castle Cary is an attractive and bustling market town of glowing golden stone. It is a haven of historic buildings, independent shops and boutiques and picture-perfect surrounding countryside. Dating back to 1855, The Market House remains the focal point of the town, hosting a weekly market as well as regular events. The town is home to many independent businesses including shops and art galleries. Amenities include a nursery, a primary and a secondary school, a health centre, a dental practice, a library, a Post Office, a deli, various grocery stores, greengroceries, newsagents, chemists, pubs and tea shops. There are large supermarkets only a 15-minute drive away in the towns of Wincanton and Shepton Mallet. The newly opened 'The Newt in Somerset' is just a short drive away along with the fashionable town of Bruton, home to Hauser & Wirth Somerset, a pioneering world-class art gallery. The mainline railway situated on the edge of Castle Cary makes this a great location for commuters (Paddington c. 90 mins) and the A303 is also within easy reach.
