Willow Cottage is a charming property located in the desirable town of Mere, situated at the end of a tranquil ‘no through’ country lane in a beautiful setting.

This detached cottage retains lots of its character and charm, the original parts of the main house are thought to date back to the 1740’s when it was possibly 3 separate cottages.

On the ground floor there is a lovely and light dual aspect sitting room with a fireplace with log burner for cosy winter evenings, a study, downstairs toilet porch/utility area, and cloak cupboard. A particular feature of this cottage is the open plan kitchen/dining room with vaulted ceiling and french doors opening out to the garden.

Upstairs the landing provides access to four well-proportioned bedrooms, one with en-suite shower room, and a main family bathroom.

Outside
Willow Cottage is set in stunning location with gardens and grounds of 0.24 acres that back on to the watercress beds and surrounding countryside beyond. A gated driveway provides off road parking and there is a car port. The garden is a good size, laid to a mixture of paving and lawn with beautiful mature shrubs and trees and plenty of space for outdoor dining. There is a garden shed and a conservatory.

Also within the grounds is a pretty stone building which was at one time used to accommodate the watercress bed workers. It offers potential for use as annexe accommodation subject to renovation and the necessary consents.

Situation
Mere lies at the Southwestern tip of Salisbury Plain, within Wiltshire and close to the Somerset and Dorset boarders. This picturesque town has its own library and museum, a pharmacy, doctors and dentist surgery, a tearoom, several good pubs and a variety of shops. Gillingham nearby has a Waitrose supermarket and is the closest railway station with good links to London. The attractions at Longleat House and the National Trust gardens at Stourhead are both less than 15 miles away. Also close are towns of Bruton and Frome.

Schools
The area offers many reputable state and independent primary and secondary schools including Port Regis, Warminster School and Sexeys. Mere primary school feeds into the secondary state school Gillingham.

Transport links are excellent with easy access to the A303 and a mainline station at Gillingham with services to London (Waterloo 2 hours).
