Set within an exclusive over-55s development in the centre of Mere, this two-bedroom mews cottage combines Victorian character with manageable, low-maintenance living. The stone façade, high ceilings and mullion windows give genuine period appeal, while a wood-burner-equipped lounge and private courtyard garden offer cosy, practical daily living. Allocated parking in a car port and communal garden access add convenience for residents.
The layout supports ground-floor living with a downstairs shower room and a well-equipped kitchen; the first floor contains a master bedroom with en-suite plus a second bedroom with pleasant views towards Castle Hill. Electric central heating and single-glazed windows with shutters are in place, and the property is offered as freehold within a gated, age-restricted community.
Buyers should note the property is in a managed retirement development with an approximate service charge of £3,500 p.a. and possible ground rent; this covers communal services (including window cleaning) but is a material ongoing cost. Single glazing and the likelihood of listed-building constraints may limit major alterations and will influence running and upgrade costs. Overall, the home suits someone seeking a characterful, low-upkeep retirement base close to town amenities and countryside walks.
