House For Sale £500,000
A striking, stone fronted detached family home offering sizeable accommodation with four double sized bedrooms, presented to the market with the advantage of no onward chain and situated in a quiet and popular residential area of the town and close to some delightful countryside walks. The property lies on the fringe of the small Wiltshire town of Mere, which has a bustling community and caters well for everyday needs with a museum, library, dental surgery and medical centre, post office, Co-op store and fire station. There are also an electrical shop and three village pubs. This well proportioned, bright house was built in 2002 and has been a much loved and enjoyed home to our sellers for seventeen years. During this time it has been extremely well maintained and improved with a bespoke hand painted range of kitchen units, wholly owned solar panels that provide an income and a replacement gas boiler that was installed about five years ago. The property was built under the 'Duchy' criteria with stone façade and wood framed double glazing to keep within sustainability and to blend with the environment. This lovely home must be viewed to truly appreciate what it has to offer, as well as its location in the town. Further facilities are just a ten minute drive to Gillingham, where there is a selection of supermarkets, including a Waitrose and a mainline train station serving London Waterloo and the West Country.
