About
A rare opportunity to acquire a three-bedroom detached bungalow, occupying a peaceful tucked-away position in one of Mere’s most sought-after locations.
Built of Woolaway non-standard construction and available to cash buyers only, this unique home offers a wonderful combination of privacy, potential and an enviable waterside setting, with the River Shreen flowing along the bottom of the garden.
Situated within easy walking distance of the town centre and its excellent range of amenities, the property has been lovingly owned by the same family since it was built and has been thoughtfully extended to create a third bedroom.
Partially updated over the years, it offers an exciting opportunity for a purchaser to further improve and personalise the home to their own taste.
The well-planned single-storey accommodation includes an entrance hall, a generous sitting room featuring a brick fireplace, a spacious traditional kitchen, three bedrooms, a family bathroom and a separate WC.
Outside, the property continues to impress, with generous front and rear gardens enjoying a sunny southerly aspect, a good degree of privacy, a large workshop shed and the rare benefit of a tranquil waterside outlook.
Offered with no onward chain, this is a seldom available bungalow in a truly special setting. The Property Inside The entrance hall gives access to all rooms.
The sitting room is a good sized space, featuring a brick fireplace as a focal point and enjoying views across the garden.
The kitchen is spacious and traditional in style, fitted with a range of shaker floor and eye-level cupboards with laminate worksurfaces and a built-in electric oven and hob.
There is space for a washing machine and a door leads out to the garden, with scope to update and enhance to a purchaser's own taste.
The main bedroom is a good sized double, with bedrooms two and three being further well proportioned rooms. The family bathroom and a separate WC serve all three bedrooms.
Outside Garden Fully enclosed and enjoying a sunny southerly aspect, the rear garden is a wonderful outdoor space with a good degree of privacy.
