House For Sale £425,000
Pine Lodge presents the opportunity to acquire a lovely family home in the heart of the sought after village of Meare. Set well back from the road, the house has plenty of parking, a garage, four bedrooms and a generous garden. Situated in a peaceful location and yet within a short stroll of the excellent local primary school, church, playing fields and farm shop.
The house is approached through a metal gate and across the gravel driveway to an internal porch which provides plenty of space for coats, shoes and wellies. Moving on into the hallway, the ground floor rooms all lead off and wooden floors are a feature throughout. To the left is the second reception room, currently a well configured home office, and a room which could lend itself to many uses such as a snug, playroom, study or additional bedroom. The modern family bathroom is next door, fully equipped with elegant slipper bath and tiled shower, basin and loo. To the right is the kitchen, very well appointed with wooden units and granite worktops with space for range cooker, large fridge freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer. A door leads directly out into the garden to an outside dining space on the terrace beyond. At the far end of the hall is the large main reception room enjoying what is believed to be original parquet flooring which is a real feature of this room. It has plenty of space for sofa configurations as well as room for a large dining table and TV area. Double doors lead out to the patio beyond.
Upstairs
An open tread staircase leads up from the main reception room to the landing, off which are two double bedrooms and two singles, along with a separate loo.
Outside
The garden wraps around the house and is largely laid to lawn. The gravel driveway provides plenty of parking and there is also a garage. At the back of the house a patio stretches from outside the kitchen to the main reception room double doors, providing great entertaining space in the warmer months for dining under the stars and relaxing in the sun.
Situation
The village of Meare has an historic 14th-century fish house which was once the abode of Glastonbury Abbey fishermen and along with the Manor Farmhouse, built at the same time, as the summer residence of the Abbots from Glastonbury Abbey, the area offers lots of historical interest. The famous Somerset Levels and nature reserves of Ham Wall are right on your doorstep.
Glastonbury is a town that is steeped in history going back to the legends of King Arthur. There was a Celtic monastery here in 500AD, which during the next 1000 years evolved into one of England’s wealthiest and influential Abbeys. The magnificent Glastonbury Abbey ruins and the famous Glastonbury Tor attract tourists to the town and so although small, it is a thriving town and it is well served by markets and a huge range of festivities. It is one of the few towns that has managed to shun many of the main chain stores whilst still providing all the necessary shops, restaurants, cafes, doctors, pharmacies, dentists, a wealth of clubs and sporting facilities and supermarkets.
Glastonbury is about 9 miles from Castle Cary Railway Station, which has mainline rail service from Castle Cary to London (Paddington) in circa 2 hours. Bristol and Exeter Airports are both within about 1 hour’s drive offering connections around the UK, Europe and to other destinations.In nearby Street there are two swimming pools in Street, one to be found at the Sports Centre and the hugely popular outdoor Lido on the High Street with its lovely grassy areas for picnics. The Strode Theatre offers excellent live performances as well as films and exhibitions.The ancient Cathedral city of Wells is only eight miles away and offers all the usual amenities of a thriving market town; twice weekly markets, plenty of coffee shops and restaurants, local supermarkets include Waitrose, Morrisons and Tesco. Wells has a thriving cultural scene with the concerts from the Cathedral School to regular art gallery events and the very well attended Wells Literature Festival and Food Festival. The popular village of Wedmore is approx. 6 miles away and a further drive away is the very fashionable small town of Bruton which has the very popular restaurant/coffee/bread shop called ‘At the Chapel’ and the world famous Hauser and Wirth Art Gallery.
