A charming, period cottage, extended and recently modernised, offering spacious accommodation and charming features.

Bay Tree Cottage is tucked away along a no-through road in a pleasant and quiet area of Mere and has been substantially extended over the years to now provide spacious, accommodation laid out over two floors. The cottage is well-appointed throughout and offers a delightful blend of contemporary and traditional features. The main entrance opens to the hall with stairs and a cloakroom, and doors directly into both the dining room and kitchen. The kitchen has recently been installed with new ‘slate blue’ cabinets, granite style worktops and white goods. A stable door leads to a gravel courtyard and glazed French doors lead through to the garden room. The dining room is dual aspect with an interesting inset fireplace featuring a brick surround and a door on either side going through to the sitting room. This is also dual aspect with a central brick chimney breast at both ends, on of which has a wood burning stove and exposed beams.
Upstairs, a large airy landing provides enough space for use as a study or reading area and is currently used as a library. The main bedroom and en-suite are positioned above the kitchen and overlook farmland, with three further double bedrooms and the main bathroom have views towards the town. Like the kitchen, the en-suite and bathroom have undergone recent renovations to include modern fixtures and fittings.
