Summary - The Bungalow, Shaftesbury Road, Mere BA12 6BJ
3 bed 1 bath Detached
Spacious grounds and period charm close to Mere and local amenities.
Approximately 1.4 acre plot with mature trees and paddock
Set within approximately 1.4 acres, this detached thatched-style cottage offers generous, characterful living spaces and clear scope for improvement. Ground-floor reception rooms run the width of the house and feature exposed beams and a stone fireplace; the footprint (circa 1,816 sq ft) suits a growing family or those seeking a substantial country home. A detached garage with WC and workshop sits beside parking for several vehicles, and the paddock and mature gardens provide privacy and potential for small-scale equestrian or landscaping projects.
The property is offered chain free but requires renovation: services are connected, heating is by oil boiler, drainage is private and may not meet current regulations, and the EPC rating is F. One first-floor bedroom is accessed through another, which may limit bedroom independence without alteration. Access is via a long, private track and some areas of the grounds and drive are overgrown and will need routine maintenance.
This home will appeal to buyers who value rural privacy, large grounds and period character, and who are prepared to invest in updating and reconfiguring space. Planning potential exists to extend or convert outbuildings (subject to permissions) to better suit modern family layouts or create ancillary accommodation. The location sits between Mere and Motcombe with straightforward road links to Gillingham and the A303 for connections to larger centres.
