DENE COTTAGE, SOUTH STREET, CASTLE CARY, BA7 7ES
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.
Accommodation
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 to the kitchen where there are modern fitted units with wooden work surfaces and integral appliances, including an oven with a gas hob above. The beautiful, large ceramic sink with a 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.
Outside
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.
