House For Sale £395,000
A rare opportunity to purchase a charming detached barn conversion with two double bedrooms, pretty, tranquil garden that lies next to Ashfield Water and within easy reach of this popular Wiltshire village. The picture perfect village of Mere benefits from having a good community spirit with many facilities such as, a museum, library, doctor and dentist surgeries, post office, police and fire station. There are also a good selection of shops and four village pubs, one of which is just a short walk from the property and a 12th century church. The cottage is also within close proximity of Stourhead and Longleat. We believe that the property dates to the 1700s, when it was a sheep barn, historically converted into two cottages and become one dwelling in the early 1990s. It has been a much cherished and enjoyed home to our sellers for the last seven years. During this time it has been exceedingly well maintained and improved with a modern shower suite, re-configuration of the kitchen and built in storage shelves have been added to the breakfast area. This lovely stone property retains its authenticity with attractive cottage windows with very deep sills and exposed timber lintels, pane glass double doors that open out from the sitting/dining room to the garden plus two stable doors. The cottage provides nicely proportioned rooms with comfortable living space and must be viewed. It would make a great downsize, fabulous weekend retreat from a hectic working week as well as satisfying many other buyers needs. An early viewing is definitely needed as this type of property hardly ever becomes available.
