Full Details for 3 Bedroom Cottage for sale in Castle Cary, BA8 :

Property description

An attractive semi detached stone cottage situated just outside the village of Templecombe. We believe that the property dates to the 1850s and was probably a farm workers home. During the seven years of ownership the seller has extended to the rear providing extra bedrooms and a modern kitchen. In addition, the property benefits from Upvc double glazed windows, some with attractive Georgian bar and has oil fired central heating via radiators with an external boiler. In brief, the internal accommodation consists of useful entrance porch, sitting room with fireplace and burner in situ, dining room with solid fuel Rayburn and modern kitchen/breakfast room with access to the rear garden. On the first floor there is the main bedroom with en-suite shower room, bedroom two, the study and lovely family bathroom with exposed floor boards. On the top floor there is an additional bedroom. Outside, there is generous gated parking, a single garage and attractive cottage style garden with an award winning apple tree having supplied the fruit for the WIs best Chutney in the area.
