5 bed detached house

The property, Mere Down House, is a unique family home situated on the chalk downland above the town of Mere. The original house was built between 1920 and 1922, but was almost completely rebuilt between 1999 and 2004 with additions including a millennium tower, loggia, sitting room extension, and top floor. The house features a panelled entrance hall, sitting room, drawing room, kitchen/breakfast room, gym/games room, utility/boot room, and downstairs cloakroom. The main staircase leads to a landing with two en-suite double bedrooms and a heated airing cupboard, and further double bedrooms, bathroom, and library. The house also includes a master suite with a nursery/dressing area, and a staircase to a tower study/further bedroom. The property is surrounded by a walled yard with a double car garage, greenhouse, workshop, and flower cutting garden. The surrounding gardens are divided into four rooms, including a formal area with a central canal and wisteria-clad arbour, and a private paved garden with a round pool and slate steps. The property also has a heated swimming pool and a downland "meadow" of 3 acres surrounding the house.
