A beautifully presented five bedroom semi-detached property, thoughtfully renovated to offer flexible and spacious accommodation with multiple reception areas, enjoying panoramic countryside views. Conveniently situated in the village of Galhampton, the property enjoys close proximity to Castle Cary, which offers a wide range of amenities. It also benefits from easy access to The Newt, Castle Cary train station, and the A303.
The Dwelling - This five bedroom semi detached residence has been thoughtfully updated and renovated by the current vendors to create a spacious and versatile home. The property offers flexible accommodation arranged over two floors, with a variety of reception spaces on the ground floor, all designed to take full advantage of the panoramic views.
Accommodation - Upon entering the property, you are greeted by an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining, and snug area, with a rear-facing window spanning much of the back wall, framing the delightful countryside views. This bright and welcoming space is designed for modern living, with a central island forming the heart of the kitchen, surrounded by integrated appliances and complemented by a rear utility room that provides additional cabinetry, a sink, space for white goods and houses the boiler.
From the kitchen and dining area, French doors open onto the patio, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. A further door leads to a cosy reception room, currently used as a games room, centred around a feature fireplace. An additional door leads to the internal hallway providing further access into the formal living room, which exudes character with its flagstone flooring and large inglenook fireplace with a bressummer beam and open fire.
Also on the ground floor is a versatile room, currently used as a study, complete with an ensuite shower room-offering flexibility as a potential ground-floor bedroom.
To the first floor, the master bedroom enjoys a triple-aspect outlook and features a well-appointed ensuite shower room fitted with a walk-in shower, wash hand basin, and WC. There is further potential to enhance this space, with electrics already in place to create a walk-in wardrobe if desired. The second bedroom boasts a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, taking full advantage of the stunning countryside views, while the third bedroom benefits from two walk-in wardrobes. The remaining bedroom, positioned to the front of the property, also includes fitted wardrobe space. A stylish family bathroom serves the bedrooms on this level.
Garden - The rear garden enjoys a sunny south-facing aspect and provides beautiful views over the neighbouring Blackmore Vale countryside. An elevated patio area adjoins the house, leading down to a lawned garden with a pathway extending to a stone-built outbuilding. This outbuilding offers generous space and excellent potential for use as a home office, studio, or additional accommodation (subject to any necessary consents). Adjacent to the outbuilding is a further patio area, perfectly positioned to take in the spectacular views. To the front, the driveway provides ample parking for multiple vehicles.
