About the Area
Glastonbury's past and its present are linked with its dominant landmark and the town grew up alongside the Abbey and become a manufacturing and trading centre. Today it’s a thriving market town and a major tourist venue, welcoming thousands of visitors each year. Medieval Glastonbury - designated a conservation area - clusters around the evocative ruins of the Abbey.
Meare is a village and civil parish 3 miles north-west of Glastonbury and has been a settled site for even longer than Glastonbury. The parish Church of St Mary, formerly in the keeping of Glastonbury Abbey dates from 1323 and is a Grade I listed building. The village also has a primary schoo  awarded ‘outstanding’ by OFSTED, a number of societies and clubs and a good community spirit. Close by is the Shapwick Heath nature reserve with superb walks enjoying the abundant wildlife in the area including the fabulous Starling murmerations in the spring and autumn. There is easy access to the other towns of the area including Wells, Street and Wedmore whilst Bristol and Yeovil are well within commuting distance.

P.S. 
A few extra comments
Mortgages – we can help. 
Bridging loans – We can help.
Moving house is complicated and stressful when a sale and purchase needs to be tied together in terms of finance and timing.
Sometimes we can negotiate an agreement to suit both sellers and buyers.
Sometimes a bridging loan can solve problems and remove stress.
