Shiremoor Hill, Merriott

In a commanding position with lovely views across the village, this detached bungalow sits in a generous plot of over a quarter of an acre, with generous parking and gardens.

The Property - This deceptively spacious detached bungalow occupies an elevated position set well back from the village road, offering attractive views across the village and out towards the surrounding countryside. It will particularly appeal to those seeking generous parking options, with a large driveway and turning area providing ample space for multiple vehicles—ideal for anyone with a motorhome, trailer, or similar. With all accommodation arranged on one level, it’s perfectly suited to those looking for single-storey living without compromising on a sense of space both inside and out.

Accommodation - Day-to-day, you’ll most likely enter through the rear door from the driveway, which opens into a spacious utility and boot room. This practical space includes ample built-in storage, a useful second sink, and room for both a washing machine and tumble dryer. It also houses the wall-mounted gas boiler for the central heating system and features a convenient separate WC—perfect for when you come in from the garden.

Beyond the utility, a modernised kitchen/breakfast room enjoys wonderful southerly views across the village and is bathed in natural light from a large picture window above the sink. The sleek, high-gloss units include a corner carousel for easy access and are complemented by black granite-effect worktops, along with a NEFF gas hob and electric oven.

An inner hall—ideal as a potential study area—leads to the master bedroom at the rear, complete with fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room. A second double bedroom lies to the side.

At the front of the property, the principal living spaces include a bright dual-aspect sitting room and a generously sized adjoining dining room. Spanning the front of the bungalow, a spacious and welcoming sunroom serves as an inviting additional entrance for guests.

Outside - Situated in an elevated position, the property is set back from the road and features a generous frontage, mainly laid to lawn with shrubs. A tarmac driveway to one side leads to a level and spacious parking and turning area, bordered by additional lawns and planting. The double garage, positioned to one side, benefits from an up-and-over door as well as power and lighting. Beyond the garage, a raised bed was previously used for growing vegetables. A good-sized gravelled area on the north side provides easy access for maintenance and to the front garden. At the rear, there is also a convenient outside tap.

Situation - Merriott village has an excellent range of local services including a garage, a petrol station, two general stores, a post office, pub, a pharmacy (which will collect prescriptions and deliver medicines), and a pottery. There is a church, a chapel, and a village hall, tithe barn and social club which are all host to a wide range of activities. There is also a recreation ground with junior and senior play areas, cricket and football pitches, tennis courts and a bowling green, separate squash club and court. The village also has its own pre-school and primary school.

Merriott has excellent road links to both the A303 and A30, both of which lie within a short drive. Crewkerne is a traditional market town with a range of shops including a Waitrose Supermarket who deliver locally, and a main line railway station for the London, Waterloo to Exeter line.
