**** UNEXPECTEDLY BACK TO THE MARKET *** Located in the highly sought-after town of Mere, this charming semi-detached cottage boasts three/four bedrooms and is within walking distance to the vibrant town centre. Benefiting from expansive views across open countryside and set back from the road this cottage is a true delight.

Upon entering, you are greeted by a spacious living room on the right-hand side, featuring a cosy wood-burning stove and effortlessly adjoining the kitchen diner. Leading off the Kitchen is the Study, perfect for a home office. The dining part provides access to the delightful rear garden. To the front of the property, you'll find a versatile room that can serve as a fourth bedroom or an additional reception room adding to the convenience of the cottage.

Ascending to the first floor, the property offers three generously sized bedrooms with either views across open countryside or the rear garden and a family shower room equipped with a large walk-in shower.
