Property Summary



Number 7, North Street, is a “must see” property in the heart of the ancient market town of Castle Cary. This charming home, dating back to the 1790s, is a mere hop, skip and a jump to all that this wonderful town has to offer and is perfectly located for easy living in every possible way.



A pretty entrance hall leads on into a dining room with oak flooring, an open fireplace and access to a cellar below.

With plenty of room for seating and enjoying the views out onto the terraced garden it is the perfect environment to relax and unwind. The kitchen comprises of sleek modern units, room for a dining table and is conveniently located adjacent to a useful utility room and downstairs loo with direct access to the garden.

Thoughtfully dressed with portico poles the curtains open inwards welcoming in the natural daylight and revealing a unique view of a majestic example of Georgian style architecture opposite.  



The walled garden is without question the jewel in this property’s crown; a charming paved courtyard, perfectly positioned to enjoy the morning sun, leads to a succession of stone steps ascending to reveal a splendid and unusually large garden - home to an array of mature trees, shrubs and flora. A mature weeping pear stands proudly providing an abundance of fruit and a canopy of shade along with cherry trees, roses and wisteria.  This utterly enchanting English country garden has the most wonderful vista of the surrounding rooftops creating a pleasing patchwork of architectural features.  A large summerhouse offers the perfect environment for a studio, a study or just a perfectly tranquil hideaway from the outside world.  A further three stone outbuildings offer versatile and useful storage space.
