20 PRIORY VIEW, CASTLE CARY, BA7 7DX A totally refurbished four-bedroom semi-detached house in a fantastic no-through lane location adjoining Fairfield Park in Castle Cary town.
The accommodation is immaculately presented throughout and includes a porch, entrance hall, sitting room, kitchen-dining room, study area, three double bedrooms (one with en-suite), a single bedroom and a family shower room.
Outside, there is ample driveway parking in front of the integral garage, plus a fully enclosed rear garden.
Accommodation20 Priory View has been subject to extensive refurbishments with high-quality alterations and additions throughout the entire property. Notable changes include the Craigie Woodworks handmade hardwood kitchen and cabinetry in the hall; new windows and doors throughout the property, new shower rooms, a new central heating system; and a complete overhaul of the conservatory to now provide a slate-roofed garden room-style dining area.
The property is entered through the front door, which leads to a porch where there is space to hang coats and take off muddy boots. An internal door then opens into the hall, where there are the stairs rising to the first floor and doorways into the sitting room and kitchen. Underneath the stairs, a beautifully crafted cupboard and shelving unit has been handmade and installed by Craigie Woodworks - a locally renowned bespoke kitchen and cabinet maker.
The sitting room has a reclaimed antique cast-iron fireplace and an outlook to the front, across to Fairfield Park. Double glass-panelled doors connect the sitting room back into the dining room, giving the ground floor an excellent flow.
Slate-effect stone floor tiles continue from the hall into the kitchen and dining room, which adjoin one another in an open-plan L-shape style. The bespoke kitchen has been finished to the highest of standards, with attention to detail so high that the wood grains align seamlessly from cupboard to cupboard. There are extra-deep cupboards and pan drawers, plus a superb pantry cupboard, which makes this an absolutely fantastic kitchen to cook in. There is room for an American-style fridge freezer, and within the units, there is a Stoves double oven and grill with induction hob. Behind the worktops, there is a pretty rear wall with Fired Earth tiling. The dining room was formerly a conservatory at the rear of the house and has since been subject to extensive improvements, including new windows with high-quality shutters, French doors, and a new slate tiled roof. This is a fantastic, light and airy space in which to sit and dine with a wonderful aspect of the garden.
Upstairs, there are three double bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite, a single bedroom and a family bathroom. The master, as one would expect, is the largest of all and enjoys views over Fairfield Park whilst also having built-in wardrobes and a newly refitted en-suite shower room. The shower room has sleek floor and wall tiling, a walk-in shower with easy-to-clean aqua panelling, a heated towel rail, a basin and a WC. The further three bedrooms are serviced by the family shower room, which has a walk-in shower, basin, heated towel rail and w/c. Both shower rooms feature top-spec non-slip Mira shower trays and Mira deluge railfall shower heads. Also on the first floor, there is an airing cupboard.
OutsideIn front of the property, there is a substantial paved parking area which can accommodate up to three vehicles. Benefiting from an entirely new insulated electric roller door is the integral garage, which houses the new Vaillant gas central heating boiler and includes a utility/laundry area with plumbing for a washing machine. The garage has a pedestrian door out to the garden and a fire-safe door leading back into the house.
The garden sits to the rear and is mainly laid to lawn with stepping stones meandering through, and a low-maintenance gravel area to the side. Immediately outside the house, there is a paved patio area which enjoys the afternoon sun. Surrounding the lawn, there are well-established borders, full of greenery. The garden is fully enclosed, enjoying a good degree of privacy and adding to this are two small trees: an apple and laurel.
