This Grade II listed two-bedroom cottage sits on South Street in Castle Cary, offering period character, a west-facing garden and easy walking access to shops, cafes and the railway station. The stone facade, flagstone flooring, exposed oak beam and brick fireplace with wood-burner provide authentic charm and immediate kerb appeal. The house is offered freehold and chain-free, making it attractive for buyers wanting a straightforward purchase.
Accommodation is arranged over two floors with a sitting/dining room, fitted kitchen, rear lobby with cloakroom, two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The rear garden is private, west-facing and mainly paved with shrub borders, plus a handy garden store. On-street parking is generally available nearby; the property footprint is typical of a mid-terrace town cottage (approximately 879 sq ft).
Important practical points: the property is Grade II listed which will restrict alterations and may complicate planning or repairs. The original Cary stone walls are likely uninsulated (assumed), and the Energy Performance Rating is D, so buyers should factor potential energy-efficiency work into budgets. There is only on-street parking and a small plot size, which may suit those wanting low-maintenance outdoor space rather than extensive gardens.
This cottage will suit buyers seeking character and location over modern open-plan living — ideal as a compact home, a lock-up-and-leave bolt-hole, or a rental/investment in a very affluent, well-connected market town. With good mobile and broadband connectivity, nearby schooling options, and the convenience of a mainline station, it offers a rare combination of historic charm and practical town-centre living.
