Description

RED HOUSE, CUMNOCK ROAD, CASTLE CARY, BA7 7HZ

A beautiful and sympathetic refurbishment of a prominent Edwardian house, just a short distance from Castle Cary High Street. 

The Red House has stylish and characterful accommodation arranged over three floors, including an impressive kitchen dining living room, sitting room, reception hall, utility room, cloakroom, five bedrooms and three bath/shower rooms. 

There is off road parking, and partially walled gardens to the south, east and west. 

Accommodation
The Red House is an unlisted property, believed to date back to the Edwardian era and retaining many features indicative of this time. The red brick elevations each have attractive gables with decorative fascia, quoin details, and bay windows. 

 The property has been totally refurbished by the current owners, to revive its former splendour. As part of the improvements, many details have been handcrafted with an exceptional level of attention to detail. One example of this is the kitchen which has an excellent array of soft close drawers and units, with quartz worktops and tiled splash backs. Integrated within the units, there is a fridge freezer, an oven, an induction hob, and dishwasher. The large bay windows look out over the gardens from the kitchen dining living room, allowing light to flood in. In addition, there is a patio door, and French doors leading out. 

Adjoining the kitchen, there is a cosy sitting room, colour drenched in Viridian Green. 

Also on the ground floor, there is a large welcoming reception hall which has doors into a utility room/cloakroom, a W/C and a useful store which houses the boiler too.

The staircase with hand-built baluster leads up to the landing where there are doors leading into the master and guest bedrooms, the bathroom and a further staircase rising to the second floor. 

The master bedroom enjoys an outlook over the rooftops toward the centre of the town and Lodge Hill. The bedroom itself is large (14'3"x15'1") and has an adjoining dressing room with a welcome surprise within. The bank of bespoke wardrobes conceal a doorway into a luxurious en-suite shower room.

The family bathroom is of an exceptional size and quality. There is a bath, separate shower, basin and w/c, as well as a feature fireplace, tiled floor and beautiful view of the cows grazing in the field. The second bedroom is a large double which shares this outlook, and also has a feature fireplace too. 

Upstairs, there are two further double bedrooms, and a children's bedroom which is still a double, just accessible by a small, novel custom fit door. There is a well appointed shower room, and plenty of storage on this floor too. 

Outside
To the East, South and West of the property, the garden wraps around the property taking in sunshine throughout the day and into the evening. The gardens are partially walled, with new fencing forming the rest if the perimeter. There are freshly added raised beds, and elevated sunny terrace and a mature tree at the end of the lawn. 

There is parking for two to three cars, and discreetly located bin stores. 

About the area
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 are a Hotel & Spa, Farm shop, restaurants and house & garden shop.

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.
