Lordsmead Cottage is a beautifully renovated thatched period home set in the southern edge of Mere, offering generous family living across two floors. The recent refurbishment delivers stylish interiors and modern plumbing/heating while retaining historic character such as cob walls and traditional thatch. Spacious reception rooms and a large, well‑planned kitchen open to patios and the landscaped garden, making the house comfortable for everyday family life and entertaining.
The property sits on a large plot with mature planting, formal lawns, two patios and a tranquil brook at the garden edge, creating a private countryside feel within walking distance of Mere’s high street and local amenities. Practical features include a double garage, ample driveway parking and a mains gas boiler with radiators. Local schools rated well and easy road links (A303) make this a sensible choice for families wanting village life with regional access.
Buyers should note a few material considerations: the property has medium flood risk due to the stream at the bottom of the garden, the thatched roof and period fabric will need ongoing specialist maintenance, and glazing is secondary rather than modern double glazing. Broadband speeds are reported slow despite excellent mobile signal. The EPC is D and council tax banding is not specified, which may affect running costs.
Overall the house offers substantial living space (circa 2,003 sq ft) and an exceptional garden that will appeal to families seeking character, space and village convenience, provided they are comfortable with the responsibilities that come with a thatched, period cottage and the medium flood risk from the adjacent stream.
