Large west-facing garden, generous living space and parking — characterful family home in Meare.
Extended detached dormer bungalow with four double bedrooms
This extended, detached dormer bungalow offers spacious family accommodation across a generous plot in the peaceful village of Meare. The ground floor flows from an entrance hall into a large living room (over 24') with a feature fireplace and wood burner, patio doors to a raised deck, and a conservatory that brings extra light. The fitted oak kitchen provides a robust, traditional feel with space for a range cooker and utility appliances. Two double bedrooms and a shower room complete the ground floor, with two further double bedrooms on the first floor benefitting from Velux roof lights and eaves storage.
Outside, the property sits back from the road with off-street parking for several vehicles and gated access to a west-facing rear garden. The plot is substantial for the area, laid mainly to lawn with established shrubs, a raised deck and a large wooden summer house offering workshop or home-office potential (subject to any necessary consents). Double glazing was installed after 2002 and the house has cavity wall insulation.
Practical points to note: heating is by an oil-fired boiler and radiators (not mains gas), which can mean higher running costs and the need to manage oil deliveries. The property dates from the 1950s–1960s and, while well presented, some areas (notably parts of the kitchen and certain finishes) show period character and could benefit from updating to suit contemporary tastes. The arrangement includes stairs to the first floor, so the layout is not wholly single-storey living.
Meare sits on the Somerset Levels with local amenities including a primary school, village store and garage, and easy access to Glastonbury and Street. Local schooling ranges from good-rated primary schools to the independent Millfield nearby, making the location well suited to families seeking rural life with convenient links to larger towns.
