Ansford Lodge is a handsome Grade II listed Georgian house in the centre of Castle Cary, recently and sympathetically renovated to preserve its original character. High ceilings, sash windows, elm floorboards, flagstone floors and ornate cornicing combine with modern kitchen and bathroom fittings to create a comfortable family home with clear historic provenance.
The accommodation is generous and flexible: three principal reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room with separate utility and boot room, five bedrooms and two attic rooms offering scope for hobby or home-office use. A westerly-facing, fully enclosed garden and two paved seating areas catch afternoon sun and provide private outdoor space for children and pets. Parking is straightforward with a gated driveway, ample space for several cars and a detached single garage.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the house is freehold and has no flood risk, but its Grade II listed status will restrict permitted alterations and could complicate major works or extensions. Council Tax is band F and will be a material ongoing cost. Broadband and mobile coverage are average in this small town setting.
Set in a very affluent, rural neighbourhood with good road and rail links, the property suits buyers seeking a character home with modern comforts. Local schools are a mix of good and improving results, and the village amenities are modest — ideal for families who value historic charm, privacy and countryside proximity but accept the constraints of owning a listed property.
