Description

MEARE, NR. GLASTONBURY, BA6 9TQ

A spacious and well-positioned detached house with four bedrooms, generous reception space, and beautiful countryside views – together with a two-storey studio flat and large workshop beneath. Set within the sought-after village of Meare, this unique home offers versatile accommodation, ample parking, and huge potential – all available with no onward chain.

Accommodation
This light and airy country home is set in an elevated position, enjoying panoramic views across surrounding farmland and towards the renowned Ham Wall nature reserve.

The house is well-presented and comfortable, though now offers a buyer the exciting opportunity to modernise and improve. The ground floor flows around a welcoming entrance hall, with terracotta tiled flooring and a cloakroom. The triple-aspect kitchen/breakfast room is very much the heart of the home, fitted in a charming farmhouse style with ample space for dining and a traditional oil-fired Rayburn, which also provides hot water. Solar panels supplement hot water supply in warmer months.

From here, double doors open to a dining/family room with built-in cabinetry and glazed access to a private terrace complete with pizza oven – perfect for alfresco dining and entertaining.

The main sitting room stretches the full depth of the house with large windows to three sides, a wood-burning stove, and direct access to the garden – offering excellent natural light and a warm, relaxed atmosphere.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom includes built-in wardrobes, a stylish en-suite, and glazed doors onto a large wraparound balcony – a perfect spot to enjoy sunrise over the reserve.

There are three further bedrooms, including a second double with en-suite, a charming vaulted third bedroom with skylight and round window, and a smaller fourth – currently configured as a dressing room/study, but easily reinstated. A well-fitted family bathroom completes the first floor.


The Studio Flat and Workshop
A standout feature of the property is the detached two-storey building offering enormous flexibility. The ground floor houses a substantial garage/workshop with excellent ceiling height, ideal for a range of uses.

Above is a spacious studio flat, accessed via an external staircase, with vaulted ceilings, dormer windows, an en-suite shower room, and independent electric heating. With its stunning south-facing views, it is ideally suited for guest accommodation, holiday letting, a home office or even a treatment room.

Outside
The property is approached via a large gravel driveway with space for multiple vehicles and excellent access to both the house and the studio. The gardens wrap around the home and are mainly laid to lawn, bordered by mature hedging and trees to provide privacy without compromising the spectacular outlook.

There are multiple outbuildings, including a useful shed and a decked terrace with pizza oven – positioned adjacent to the dining room. A spiral staircase leads up to the balcony terrace, creating a seamless connection between the house and garden spaces.


Location
Meare is a charming and sought-after village just a few miles west of Glastonbury, surrounded by beautiful countryside and within easy reach of Street, Wells and Castle Cary. The area offers a strong community spirit, highly regarded schooling, and swift access to amenities, including Millfield School and Clarks Village retail centre.

Commuters benefit from good road access to Bristol and Bath, while nearby Castle Cary provides a mainline station with direct trains to London Paddington.
