House For Sale £475,000
An utterly charming cottage style property with the conveniences of modern services and a delightful river frontage.
Mill Pond Cottage is deceptively spacious and as idyllic as its name suggests. Built in the early 1980’s, the property is one of 6 and benefits from double glazing throughout and mains services. The entrance opens to a porch for coats and shoes and through into the dining room with exposed beams. Off the dining room is the warm and inviting sitting room with a feature stone fireplace that currently houses an electric fire, however there is a gas supply, or the chimney could be used with an open fire or multi-fuel stove. The room is bright with French doors opening onto the patio. The kitchen/diner is a modern shaker style with cabinets of contrasting colours with integrated appliances and a free standing ‘Stoves’ range style oven. There is space for a kitchen table by the French doors that open onto the patio. Behind the kitchen is a ‘lean-to’ garden room that houses the washing machine and provides access to the side of the garage and the main garden. Upstairs are three light double bedrooms. The two larger rooms feature built-in storage. A generous airing cupboard houses the water tank and shelving, and the bathroom is fitted with white sanitary ware and features a powerful shower over the bath.
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, doctor surgery, 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 offers 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. The area is well known for the large choice of good State and Independent primary and secondary schools and a variety of outdoor and countryside activities including golf, rugby and football clubs, cycling, shooting and horse riding. Nearby is Stourhead House and gardens and Longleat house with its safari park. There is a wide network of footpaths and bridle ways accessible from the village or a short drive away.
OUTSIDE
There are two flower beds to the front of the property providing interest and colour. Gates on either side allow access to the side of the garage and the back of the house and to the main garden which is a true delight and offers areas to sit and read or enjoy a coffee at any time of the day. The property ownership extends into the River Shreen at the end of the garden which is one of a few reaming Chalke bed rivers in the country.
The gravel drive is shared with both neighbours.
Note: This property has not been subject to flooding in the past. The flow is controlled by Lordsmead Mill just behind the property.
