THE OLD BAKEHOUSE, HIGH STREET, CASTLE CARY, SOMERSET, BA7 7AW
A handsome double-fronted High Street restaurant with superb owner’s accommodation, delightful courtyard gardens, and private parking with a single garage, right in the heart of Castle Cary.
Accommodation
Occupying a prime position on Castle Cary’s vibrant High Street, The Old Bakehouse is a handsome and characterful Grade II Listed property. Built from natural Cary stone under a slate-tiled roof, it combines a successful hospitality business with excellent private living space above. The property includes a welcoming restaurant, three-bedroom accommodation, a private courtyard garden, a garage, and off-street parking — all just moments from the town centre.
The Restaurant
The restaurant occupies the ground floor and offers a warm, inviting space with room for approximately 40 covers inside. French doors open to the rear, leading to a charming courtyard area with an additional 14 seats — an ideal al fresco setting in warmer months.
The restaurant previously traded successfully for many years, serving both Thai cuisine and more traditional fare. In recent times, it ceased to operate due to the owners’ planned retirement, offering the new owner a real opportunity to create a new business.
The commercial kitchen is immaculately presented and includes a separate prep kitchen, making for an efficient and well-organised workspace.
Owners Accommodation
The upper floors house a spacious and attractive owner’s residence. There are three double bedrooms, a large sitting room with exposed beams, and a well-equipped kitchen/dining room that opens into a bright and airy conservatory. The space is well suited to family life or live-in management and benefits from a separate access if required.
Outside
The rear courtyard is both practical and appealing — ideal as extra dining space for the restaurant or simply as a private garden retreat. Beyond, stone steps lead to a further paved area with raised beds and a substantial potting shed or greenhouse. A pathway leads to the rear garage, which is equipped with power and lighting, with a private parking space in front, accessed from Ansford Road.
