THE SITUATION
The area of Gare Hill lies 7 miles south of Frome within the Cranborne Chase National Landscape and comprises mainly farms and farmland.
Frome is a welcoming, charming and vibrant town with a wealth of history, culture and home to a creative and lively community. The town hosts an Arts Festival annually, there is a popular weekly market, and The Cheese and Grain, a not-for-profit entertainment venue, lays on live music, talks, presentations and fairs.
8 miles south of Gare Hill is the pretty town of Mere, with an abundance of community spirit and a thriving High Street also providing services for most everyday requirements including a primary school, a library, Co-Operative store, post office, doctor surgery, pharmacy, public houses, cafe, restaurants to name but a few.
There is easy access to major roads as Mere lies immediately south of the A303 that leads to M3 and beyond in the east, and M5 in west. The A361 just north of Gare Hill also leads to Taunton and the M5. Mainline railway stations are located in Gillingham, Frome and Warminster offering direct services to London.
The towns, villages and countryside provide an extensive range of social and leisure activities, with excellent walking and riding. Golf can be played locally at Wincanton, Wells and Somerton. The surrounding countryside is undulating with marvellous views through Parkland and Woodland with many public footpaths and cycle ways meandering though Gare Hill Wood, Longleat Forest and Stourhead.

OUTSIDE
The property benefits from a right of access over a private track that opens onto an extensive shingled driveway that wraps the house, providing ample parking for multiple vehicles plus areas to sit and enjoy the grounds. A particular feature of the property is the detached barn, currently divided into three useful storage areas and offering excellent potential for a variety of alternative uses, subject to any necessary consents.
The grounds are predominantly laid to grass and are bordered by mature trees along the western boundary and a combination of close panel fencing, stock-proof fencing and hedging to the others, creating an attractive and private environment. The garden includes areas of wildflower meadow and a wildlife pond enhancing the property's natural appeal and biodiversity, making it an ideal countryside retreat.

AML
Estate Agents are legally required to conduct Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks on all parties involved in the sale or purchase of a property. W&W use a specialist service called "Guild 365"  to perform these checks. This is a service offered to Estate Agents who are members of the Guild of Property Professionals. These checks must be completed before a property is listed for sale and as soon as an offer is accepted (before we send out the Memorandum of Sale). There is a non-refundable fee of £25 (plus VAT) per person. Note: W&W receive a portion of this fee to cover our administration costs in processing these legal checks.
