About the Area
The Orchards is set in a pretty lane on the edge of the semi rural village of Galhampton which offers a thriving and friendly community, an active village hall and a parish church and is home to the annual 'Party In The Park. The nearby market town of Castle Cary is known for its numerous high quality shops and local amenities, including a doctors surgery, post office, butchers, two bakers, chemist, banks, tea shops, restaurants, public houses, a post office and library. The town also has well regarded schooling including a primary school and Ansford Academy. There is a mainline station to London Paddington and the West Country and 3miles to the south is the A303 road link giving good road access. The Abbey town of Sherborne is also within a short drive. Both Yeovil and Bath are within easy commuting distance and the area has an excellent choice of both state and independent schools including Hazlegrove, Millfield and the schools at Sherborne and Bruton.

Accommodation
The Orchards is an attractive period house with mellow local stone elevations under mainly tiled roofs. The property originally dates back about 200 years but has been extended and improved to provide an extremely spacious and comfortable family home. A wide entrance hall opens to the sitting room and dining room. The sitting room has a Minster stone fireplace surround with Jetmaster gas fire and the dining room has a large brick inglenook fireplace and slate hearth with inset Efel oil burning stove and cupboards to each side.

A light and bright breakfast room adjoins the kitchen and has a dual aspect and French doors opening to the terrace and rear garden. The kitchen is a feature of the property, being extremely well fitted and equipped. There is a cream four oven AGA, an integrated Neff four ring induction hob, under worktop oven and dishwasher and a good range of cupboards and drawers with granite worktops. A large island breakfast bar with built in cupboards and wine rack completes this striking room. A useful boot room with flagstone floor opens to a large covered area with door to the large integral double garage.

First Floor
On the first floor is a spacious landing with doors to the Master Suite with large vaulted ceiling bedroom, bathroom with bath and separate shower cubicle and a dressing room with built in wardrobes and cupboards. There are four further bedrooms (one currently used as a study) and a well fitted family bathroom. All the bedrooms overlook the garden and paddock at the rear or over an apple orchard to the front.

Gardens and Grounds
To the side of the house is a large gravelled parking and turning area with access to the integral 32' long garage with electrically operated roller shutter door and space for at least two cars and workshop space at the rear. A five bar gate leads from the parking area to a further area of hard standing and a timber stable block comprising two loose boxes, tack room and garden machinery store. The front garden is paved and screened from the village road by a mature hedge. A paved pathway with two mill stones reclaimed from a nearby mill leads to the porch and front door. The main areas of garden lie to the rear and side of the house with large lawns bordered by well stocked and colourful herbaceous and shrub beds and featuring a lovely copper beech tree. A wide paved terrace and old well adjoin the rear of the house.
