South Street, Castle Cary Monthly Rental Of £1,600

A charming grade II listed three bedroom cottage in one of Somerset’s prettiest streets, situated within the market town of Castle Cary. Dene Cottage has characterful accommodation including a sitting room, kitchen, dining room, three double bedrooms and a family bathroom. To the rear is a delightful walled garden with two stores.

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 in 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, Farm shop, restaurants and 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.

Dene Cottage has attractive Hadspen stone elevations under a slate tiled roof. As evidenced by the two doors to the front elevation, the property was formerly two cottages before being merged into a single dwelling. Plenty of character remains including flagstone floors, feature fireplaces and casement windows. The front door enters the sitting room which spans the entire depth of the property having an aspect to both directions. At the rear is a door out to the garden. In the heart of the room is an open fireplace and there are further character features including a window seat to the front and flagstone floors which can be found throughout the entire ground floor.

In a semi open plan style the sitting room connects into the kitchen where there are modern fitted units with wooden work surfaces and integral appliances including a dishwasher, fridge, freezer, washing machine, and an oven with gas hob above. The beautiful, large ceramic sink with mixer tap looks out over the garden at the rear. The dining room adjoins both the kitchen and sitting room and enjoys an outlook over South Street at the front. Upstairs there are three double bedrooms all enjoying built in storage with the master bedroom having a feature fireplace too. All three rooms share the family bathroom which was upgraded in 2018 with a new shower, roll top bath, basin and w/c.

There is a splendid garden at the back of the house with a high Hadspen stone wall to the eastern perimeter. Adjoining the wall, there are two outbuildings, one of which is an ideal garden store for tools and machinery. The rest of the garden is laid to lawn with pretty, flowering climbers along the boundary fence and rear elevation.
