House For Sale £550,000
A charming stone townhouse, boasting substantial and flexible accommodation with a large garden, situated in the heart of Mere.
Bristow House, constructed of local stone and under and clay tile roof, sits just a stone’s throw from the main town centre of Mere and boasts plenty of well-proportioned rooms, charming period features, a courtyard and tremendous rear garden. The property offers more than 2600 sq. ft and is laid out over two floors in a ‘U’ formation enclosing a courtyard to the rear. A large entrance hall with stairs and flagstone flooring and drawing lie across the front of the property. The drawing room is double aspect and features beautiful parquet flooring, a large inglenook fireplace with storage to the side and a trap door to the cellar. The ‘West Wing’ comprises an internal lobby with access to the courtyard, double doors to the kitchen/breakfast room with larder cupboard and utility room and a staircase to the dining room above which is served by a ‘dumb waiter’. This unconventional layout offers a superb space of 23 ft x17 ft. The ground floor of the ‘East Wing’ is currently used as a bedroom with a bathroom, access to the courtyard and small kitchen work surface. Up the main stairs are four bedrooms, one has level access onto the garden, and the main family bathroom.
SITUATION
Mere has an abundance of community spirit with a thriving High Street providing services for most everyday requirements including a primary school, a library, Co-Operative store, post office, pharmacy, public houses, cafe, restaurants and wine merchants, to name but a few. Gillingham (4 miles) offers further facilities including an excellent secondary school, a wider range of shops including Waitrose and Asda, and a mainline railway station serving London Waterloo and the south west. Wincanton (4 miles) also offer a secondary school, Lidl and Morrison supermarkets and also has a lovely independent High Street. Mere benefits from close access to the A303, an easy route to London via the M3.
OUTSIDE
The front of the property has access directly to the street via the main front door. The whole plot stretches from Castle Street to Castle Hill Lane at the rear. A paved courtyard sits directly to the rear of the property where you will find a brick built ‘garden WC’ and stone steps leading up the main garden area. This is a lovely private area to sit or dine in. The remaining garden is elevated and predominantly laid to lawn divided by a path that leads to raised beds and former vegetable garden. The entire garden is enclosed fully with a variety of mature trees and hedges. A large garage/workshop although in need of repair, offers fantastic storage and parking space with large sliding doors from Castle Hill Lane.
