4 Bed Detached House For Sale

Willow Cottage is a charming property located in the desirable town of Mere, situated at the end of a tranquil ‘no through’ country lane in a beautiful setting.



This detached cottage requires some updating but retains lots of its character and charm, the original parts of the main house are thought to date back to the 1740’s when it was possibly 3 separate cottages.



On the ground floor there is a lovely and light dual aspect sitting room with a fireplace with log burner for cosy winter evenings, a study, downstairs toilet porch/utility area, and cloak cupboard. A particular feature of this cottage is the open plan kitchen/dining room with vaulted ceiling and french doors opening out to the garden.



Upstairs the landing provides access to four well-proportioned bedrooms, one with en-suite shower room, and a main family bathroom.



Outside

Willow Cottage is set in stunning location with gardens and grounds of 0.24 acres that back on to the watercress beds and surrounding countryside beyond. A gated driveway provides off road parking and there is a car port. The garden is a good size, laid to a mixture of paving and lawn with beautiful mature shrubs and trees and plenty of space for outdoor dining. There is a garden shed and a conservatory.



Also within the grounds is a pretty stone building which was at one time used to accommodate the watercress bed workers. It offers potential for use as annexe accommodation subject to the necessary consents.
