Ansford Lodge is a handsome Grade II listed Georgian house set in central Castle Cary, sympathetically renovated to retain wide elm floorboards, sash windows and ornate cornicing. The property offers generous family accommodation across multiple floors — five bedrooms, two bathrooms and two attic rooms — combined with versatile reception spaces including three principal reception rooms and a study.
The westerly-facing, fully enclosed garden is private and substantial, with paved seating areas and mature planting that capture afternoon sun. Practical benefits include a detached single garage, gated driveway with parking for several cars and useful outbuildings and storage. The house is well located for local amenities and has good road and rail links for commuting.
As a listed building, any future alterations will need listed-building consent and may limit some types of modernisation. Though recently renovated throughout, the property has just two main bathrooms for five bedrooms, which may matter for larger families. Local schools are mixed in performance: some rated Good, others Require Improvement, so buyers with school-age children should check catchment specifics.
This is a rare, characterful home in one of Somerset’s most attractive market towns, ideal for buyers seeking period charm with modern comforts. It suits families looking for space and privacy, and purchasers who appreciate the responsibilities and rewards of owning a listed property.
