About this property

A charming 200 year-old character detached cottage, with an exceptionally large detached garage and outhouse. The garage is a versatile space offering parking for multiple vehicles, use as a workshop or even development potential, subject to planning permission.

Situated in the highly sought-after village of Meare, with spectacular countryside views across to Shapwick Heath nature reserve.

Upon entering the property, you are welcomed by an attractive original slate floor, setting the tone for this characterful home. The kitchen offers a range of base units along a double oven cooker, seamlessly flowing into an open-plan kitchen/living area. This inviting space features a cosy wood burner and leads through to a separate dining room complete with an open fireplace - perfect for entertaining or relaxing evenings.

Upstairs, the property has been renovated with a modern feel while retaining some of the cottage's original features, notably the original stone walling as you climb the stairs.

The principal bedroom has been completely refurbished with high vaulted ceilings, creating a real sense of space and has ample room for a double bed and has custom built in wardrobes. The original fireplace is still situated behind the bed and could easily be reinstated adding further original features to the property.

The family bathroom is fitted with a bath and overhead electric shower. To the rear, a second double bedroom enjoys delightful countryside views and benefits from built-in wardrobes and access to an airing cupboard.

Externally, the property offers off-road parking to the front. To the rear, you'll find a private, enclosed courtyard garden with access to the garage. The garden is ideal for outdoor dining, with a spiral staircase leading up to an elevated terrace boasting stunning rural views.

Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the charm and features of this unique period home, which offers buyers a real opportunity to make it their own.

LOCATION

The property is situated in a quiet rural area, surrounded by fields and with fabulous views. There is a very good pub in Westhay and a primary school in Meare. Both villages have good communities, and they share a village hall. More comprehensive facilities are available in both nearby Wedmore and Glastonbury and the Cathedral City of Wells is a Short distance away.
