April Cottage, Shaftesbury Road, Mere, BA12 6BW

A beautifully renovated stone-built cottage with a private, self-contained studio.

Combining the timeless character of a stone built cottage with the comfort and finish of a recent, high-quality renovation, this distinctive home offers a rare blend of country charm, everyday convenience and versatile additional accommodation.

Countryside views extend from both the front and rear, while the separate studio creates excellent scope for welcoming guests or exploring potential holiday-let use, subject to any required permissions.

The main house opens into a welcoming rear hallway, leading through to a thoughtfully fitted kitchen and breakfast room.

Designed as a sociable heart of the home, the space features a central breakfast island-ideal for informal dining and entertaining.

Beyond, the lounge offers a warm and inviting retreat, centred around a working wood-burning stove. Windows to both the front and rear draw in natural light and frame the surrounding countryside.

A ground-floor cloakroom adds further convenience. Upstairs, the accommodation comprises two bedrooms and a spacious shower room.

Each room enjoys attractive countryside views, adding to the calm and characterful atmosphere.

A particularly appealing feature is the fully self-contained studio, discreetly positioned in the rear corner of the garden.

Private from the main house and with its own entrance, it offers a flexible space for visiting family and friends, or for potential Airbnb investment, subject to relevant permissions.

The landscaped gardens provide attractive outdoor spaces at both the front and rear, with the rear garden enjoying open countryside views.

Off-road parking and useful storage further enhance the property's practicality.

Despite its peaceful setting, the cottage is just a short walk from the town centre, with the mainline railway station approximately 10 minutes away.

Equally suited to a couple seeking a full-time country home, professionals wanting a convenient lock-up-and-leave, or buyers looking for flexible guest accommodation, this is a home with broad appeal and a distinctive sense of place.
