Set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Meare, this substantial five-bedroom detached home offers generous, well-planned living across 3,368 sq ft. The standout open-plan kitchen/dining/living room with bifold and French doors floods the space with light and connects directly to a sunny, private south-facing garden—ideal for family life and entertaining. The principal suite includes a dressing room, en suite and a large balcony with pleasant views. Ground-floor practicalities include a utility and a wet room.
A two-storey garage block provides a double garage, large store room and a first-floor office with shower room. That building has clear scope for conversion into an annexe or separate workspace subject to obtaining the necessary planning and building consents, offering useful flexibility for multi-generational use or rental income. Solar panels supply hot water, and underfloor heating serves the ground floor.
Practical considerations: the property is freehold but shares a modest service drainage charge (circa £30/month) and an estate service charge of around £360 (below average). Heating is oil-fired with first-floor radiators; buyers should factor running costs and the noted “quite expensive” council tax band into budgets. Mobile signal is average; broadband is reported fast.
This home will suit families wanting space, privacy and good local schools, or buyers seeking adaptable accommodation with development potential. Any purchaser should verify planning and building consent options for the garage conversion and satisfy themselves on services, running costs and council tax before committing.
