Summary:
This idyllic cottage in Castle Cary is perfect for a relaxing getaway. Dating back to the Georgian era, expect charm and character throughout: from sash windows to exposed floorboards and rustic beams. All complemented with stylish antique furnishings and natural textures, you’ll feel instantly at home. On warm days, unwind in the courtyard - the old cobblestone walls and blue shutters will transport you to rural France. Plus, you’re only a few miles from Bruton with the iconic Hauser & Wirth.
The Space:
The Cottage is located on a quaint road in the picturesque market town, Castle Cary. Many of the market town’s amenities are at your fingertips, from a lovely local pub to a quaint bookshop, Moat Garden and coffee shop. Wander down to the high street to grab morning coffee and pastries, then head back to your cottage to enjoy them in your courtyard.
Dating back to the 1800s, this is a cottage with charm and character at its heart. Step through the door and you’ll find a beautiful mixture of antique and modern furniture, natural fabrics and quirky items. The open-plan living and kitchen space is a homely spot, with original flagstone floors. Curl up on the velvet sofa with a book in hand whilst dinner’s on the go. You’ll find everything you need to cook up delicious, hearty meals. On warm days, open the French doors and let the sunshine flood in. It’s hard not to feel completely at peace here!
Spanning three floors, find a king-size master bedroom up on the first along with a family bathroom. Whilst the top floor boasts a single mezzanine bedroom in the eaves (with slightly restricted head height, perfect for children). You’re in a great spot to enjoy all that Somerset has to offer: head out for long countryside walks, do a spot of shopping at Shepton Mallet or visit the stylish Bruton for a day of galleries and good food!
