Character, Charm & Endless Possibilities – Historic Cottage in the Heart of Mere

Situated just a few strides from the centre of the ever-popular town of Mere, this detached stone cottage dating back to the 1700s is packed with period charm, surprising space, and exciting potential.

Step inside and you’re instantly greeted by the warmth and history of this unique home. The generously sized sitting room features an exposed ceiling beam, deep window sills, and three windows that flood the space with natural light—setting the perfect tone for cosy evenings or stylish entertaining. The spacious kitchen/dining room offers ample room to cook, dine, and socialise, and could easily be styled to reflect your own taste. Upstairs, there’s a large double bedroom, a well-sized single, both with views of the downs, and a neat bathroom, all offering a canvas to add your own touches. The layout is practical, yet brimming with character—and there’s still plenty of scope to make it your own.

Outside, you'll find a private courtyard garden for sunny morning coffees or low-fuss outdoor living, along with off-street parking. To top it off, the outbuildings offer incredible potential for development (subject to permissions)—ideal for a home office, or even a small hobbies room or just for extra storage.

With no onward chain, this is a fantastic opportunity to step straight into a home with history and heart. Whether you're a first-time buyer, professional, investor, or looking for a charming lock-up-and-leave, this cottage delivers character in spades—with the chance to truly make it your own.

The Ostler’s Cottage? Perhaps. Your next adventure? Absolutely.
