The historic small town of Mere is located adjacent to the A303 and nestles beneath the South Wiltshire Downs. Mere's town centre provides an excellent range of services and facilities to cater for most everyday requirements including a Co-op convenience store, post office, electrical retailer, hairdressers, restaurants, public houses, primary school, church, butcher, pharmacy, Doctor's surgery and library. The nearby town of Gillingham (3 miles) has a mainline railway station serving London Waterloo as well as several supermarkets including a Waitrose and an Asda.
Dating back to 1711, The Old Ship Hotel, now renamed ‘Heritage Mews’, has been tastefully and luxuriously remodelled into seven stunning Apartments and three beautiful Cottages to make up an exclusive, historic and perfectly located set of properties. The Old Ship Hotel (formally a Highway Inn) located on the main route from London to the West Country is steeped in history and is packed full of character and charm throughout. Following an extensive refurbishment completed by local, family run building firm NDK Dorset have in conjunction with carefully and sympathetic plans created a wonderful set of properties ranging from a studio apartment to a new build cottage.
With characterful accommodation split over two storeys, the property consists of a predominantly open plan living, kitchen and dining area occupying the ground floor with an enclosed cloak and storage room completing the space. The kitchen itself boasts multiple floor and wall mounted storage cupboards, free-standing appliance spaces and a built-in oven/hob unit with extractor fan. Tall ceilings, exposed beams and cottage windows all create an enticing sense of charm to the house with the theme continuing to the first-floor accommodation. Here, three bedrooms occupy the space along with a modern, three-piece family bathroom that features a shower over bath unit and tiled backsplash.
Freehold. Once legal completion has taken place, new owners will be placed into the 'Heritage Mews' Management Committee.
Each property within Heritage Mews is connected to mains water, electricity and drainage as well as benefitting from newly installed gas fired central heating complete with Worcester Boiler.
