Summary - The Old Rectory, Church Street, Mere, WARMINSTER BA12 6DS
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Large historic home with two income-producing cottages and generous gardens.
Grade II listed detached rectory dating from 1744
The Old Rectory is a substantial Grade II listed stone house (1744) set in about 1.13 acres on the edge of Mere. The main four-bedroom house offers over 2,500 sq ft of flexible living including a 27ft drawing room, inglenook fireplace, formal dining room and an attic bedroom. Two attached cottages (one one-bed bungalow and one one-bedroom/ground-floor flexible cottage) provide immediate rental or holiday-let potential and a private gravel courtyard with off-street parking and garages.
This is a rare, chain-free opportunity for a buyer seeking historic character and scope to personalise. The extensive gardens include lawns, mature trees, orchard, fruit cage, two greenhouses and useful outbuildings. The site is well positioned for village amenities, local primary schools rated highly, and road links via the A303 to Salisbury and beyond.
Buyers should note the property needs updating and renovation throughout; services, finishes and fittings will require investment. Its Grade II listing means alterations and maintenance will be constrained by listed-building regulations and could increase costs and project timescales. Council tax is described as quite expensive, reflecting the property's size and status.
For families wanting a character home with garden, or investors seeking immediate cottage income and longer-term uplift through sympathetic renovation, The Old Rectory offers significant scale and potential in a quiet, affluent rural setting.
