Description
Step through the front door and into a welcoming entrance hall, where a handsome wooden staircase rises to the first floor, complete with a smart carpet runner. There’s also a door leading through to the living room, so let’s take a look, shall we? The living room is a wonderfully generous reception space, with a front-facing bay window pouring natural light into the room and framing those impressive surrounding views. A feature log burner adds a cosy focal point for chillier evenings, while brand-new carpeting underfoot keeps things feeling fresh, soft and decidedly easy on the feet. But the real heart of this home is waiting just beyond... Flowing through into the open-plan kitchen/diner, you’ll find a sociable space that’s very much the heart of the home. Wood-effect flooring runs beneath your feet, while multiple large windows flood the room with natural light, and, naturally, more of those rather fabulous views. The kitchen itself is a real recipe for success, featuring an array of stylish cabinetry, complementary worktops, a Belfast sink and a selection of integrated Neff appliances. In other words, it’s beautifully equipped for everything from morning coffee to culinary masterpieces or, at the very least, an impressively presented takeaway. There’s also useful storage beneath the stairs, because every good home needs somewhere to hide the things you definitely don’t need but absolutely cannot throw away. From the kitchen, you can access the utility room, which in turn provides a handy side door for easy access outside. There’s also a ground-floor cloakroom, adding that extra layer of everyday convenience.
Head up the carpeted staircase and the first floor reveals two of the three bedrooms, alongside the family bathroom. A generous double bedroom with an excellent array of built-in wardrobes, this room offers plenty of storage without sacrificing valuable floor space. A rear-facing window provides those pitch-perfect views, while a further built-in storage area adds another practical touch. And with brand-new carpeting underfoot, your toes will be every bit as pleased as your eyes. Another well-proportioned double bedroom, this is a bright and versatile space with new carpeting and a large window making the most of the views beyond. Whether destined for guests, children, hobbies or a home office, it’s a room with plenty of potential. Recently refitted and looking rather lovely, the bathroom features wood-effect flooring, half-height panelling, a walk-in shower, WC and wash basin.
And now for the pièce de résistance. Head to the second floor, where what was once a loft space has been transformed into a fantastic principal bedroom. With plush new carpeting, a rear-facing window overlooking the incredible rural scenery and two skylights bringing even more natural light flooding in, this is a bedroom that really knows how to make an entrance. Wake up, open your eyes and look outside, breakfast in bed may have some serious competition. The principal bedroom benefits from its own ensuite, complete with a corner shower, WC and wash basin, tiled flooring and a large skylight. And yes, you guessed it, there are even more beautiful views to enjoy. It’s the sort of room where the morning alarm may become significantly harder to obey, because there’s a very good chance you’ll want to stay exactly where you are.
Outside, the property continues to impress with a lovely garden offering a generous expanse of lawn, along with a selection of mature trees and shrubs providing plenty of scope. There’s also a large gravel driveway and single carport, providing excellent off-road parking and making coming and going wonderfully straightforward. But while the garden, parking and outdoor space all deserve their moment in the sun, there’s one thing that really does steal the show... The surrounding countryside views are simply superb, creating a wonderful backdrop to everyday life and giving this home a genuine sense of space and serenity.
Beautifully renovated, thoughtfully arranged over three floors, blessed with wonderful countryside views and offered with no upward chain, 9 Maer Village is a home that manages to combine practicality, character and a healthy dose of rural charm. From the welcoming living room and impressive kitchen diner to the newly created principal bedroom and its enviable outlook, there’s plenty here to fall head over heels for. Three bedrooms. Two bathrooms. Three floors. One seriously lovely outlook. And with views like these, we think this home could be just the ticket for your next chapter. Give us a call today to book your viewing - .

- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
- Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
- Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
- ROI — Annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).
