Property Description: This outstanding property is located on a quiet lane and has expansive views of the Mendips and the Somerset Levels. Set amongst three nature reserves, you'll have plenty of nature's wildlife as neighbours and can enjoy the sound of the River Brue whilst relaxing on it's bank at the end of the garden. A beautifully peaceful location yet still within easy reach of all the essentials. The village of Meare has a reputable village primary school and is a short drive to both Street and Glastonbury. Believed to have been built in 1836 and in keeping with the area, the property was built with Blue Lias stone and is located next to the oldest fish house in the country that dates back to the 14th century and was built for the fishermen of Glastonbury Abbey. Dating back to the early 19th century, this period property and the area that it sits within are not to be missed. The flagstone flooring runs from the entrance hall through to the striking open plan kitchen/dining room. This room is the hub of the house and has been extended and designed in a way to create a workable space for family, entertaining and day to day living. This space is beautifully lit by the natural light coming in through the skylights and the three sets of double French doors, which all over look the vast views of the levels. The kitchen area has the essentials that include a Belfast sink, a Mercury range cooker and gorgeous granite worktops. There are some original beams and exposed brickwork in the kitchen and several Inglenook fireplaces (that include wood burners) throughout that give this house it's period country feel. In the main residence there are five double bedrooms; three on the first floor, together with the family bathroom, and two double bedrooms on the second floor with a shower room. Both bathrooms are stylish and well fitted in keeping with the rest of the house. The current owners use the top floor as a principle suite, using the fifth bedroom as a dressing room but this would also make for an ideal nursery or guest bedroom.

The Holiday Lets: There is one self contained annexe (Brue View) and one detached barn (Holt Barn) that come with this property. The current owners have used them for their holiday let business. The business has excellent revenue and occupancy and when you take a look at the photos, you can see why. Both have been decorated and renovated to an extremely high standard and both come with their own parking and garden areas. Both Brue View and Holt Barn provide the perfect spot for soaking up the surroundings, giving any occupier the ideal breakaway location. Brue View is attached to the main property and is completely self contained. There is a kitchen/breakfast room, a separate living room, a double bedroom and a shower room. Holt Barn, again self contained, is a detached building and is set over two floors. To the ground floor is the open plan kitchen/living room and the top floor has the mezzanine style bedroom with a vaulted ceiling and an en-suite shower room. Both Brue View and Holt Barn have double French doors that open out to the stunning views over the Somerset Levels towards the Mendips and the historical city of Wells. The holiday let business has annual earning potential of in excess of £35,000.

Outside: The private wrap around garden is mainly laid to lawn but has several parts to it. There are the outside spaces that have been sectioned off for the annexes and a lovely decked area with a glass balustrade, that overlooks the River Brue. Scattered with an abundance of well established trees, rose bushes and perennials, this garden has been well cared for by the current owners. There is an abundance of parking on the grounds and planning permission has been granted for a new carport. There is an outbuilding on the grounds that the current owners use as a work from home/studio space. It has a vaulted ceiling and striking bi-folding doors that overlook the river and welcome in the amazing views. There is power and plumbing connected and it already has a fitted cloakroom. Although currently used as an office space, this building could be converted slightly to be included within the holiday let aspect of the property, or for a dependent relative. Ample off road parking within the grounds.

Location: The village of Meare is just 3 miles away from Glastonbury and only 8 miles from the ancient Cathedral city of Wells and sits on the Somerset Levels in the Mendips. Meare is the place to be to witness the renowned Starling Murmuration and experience the The Abbot's Fish House. With both Ham Wall and Shapwick Nature Reserves, you are spoilt for choice when it comes to exploring the countryside.
