1 Montague Gardens is located in a superb position just two minutes walk from the high street and all of the town's amenities. It is part of a desirable development of apartments which were purpose built in the late 1980’s. A pathway flanked by pretty communal gardens leads from the parking area to the apartments where a communal entrance hall leads to the front door. Flat 1 also has a second, private entrance leading directly from the allocated parking space through its own garden into the flat. Entering through the front door there is a hallway which then opens to the sitting room which is a lovely light, spacious room with a door out to the garden. The sitting room has dado rails, built-in shelving and double doors to the second bedroom/office.

Within the adjoining kitchen, there are solid wood freestanding units, an electric cooker and space for a full height fridge freezer. A window from the kitchen takes in the garden view. Along the hall, there are two cupboards, one is an airing cupboard that houses the water tank and the other is a useful utility cupboard with space and plumbing for a washing machine. There is a comfortable double bedroom and a spacious adjoining bathroom which has a bath, overhead shower, basin, w/c, and heated towel rail.

The garden is a real sun trap, taking in views towards Lodge Hill and making the most of the south westerly aspect. It is laid to lawn with a seating terrace directly outside the sitting room. From the garden there is direct and convenient access through a private pedestrian gate to the allocated car parking space.

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. Within a short walk from the property, 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.
