An impressive, extended and remodelled detached house in a wonderful waterside position amongst immaculate landscaped gardens of 1.25 acres, overlooking and adjoining the beautiful Mere lake.
Mere House is a very attractive property substantially extended and remodelled around 10 years ago by the current owners to a wonderful specification. It enjoys a magnificent situation at the end of a long gated driveway amongst stunning gardens, with a huge entertaining terrace overlooking the beautiful Mere Lake and Country Club at the rear. The gardens fall away to the water creating the most wonderful vista and leading to a waterfront terrace and boat house.
The accommodation is spacious by any standard, the house is larger on the ground floor than at first floor level due to a substantial recent extension, but there may be additional scope for adding upper floor accommodation, either over the existing ground floor extension or by linking and adding on to the garage building, of course subject to obtaining any necessary planning consent and building regulation approval.
The accommodation centres around a really impressive double height reception hall with a parquet floor and a stunning bespoke oak staircase. There are three interlinking formal reception rooms - the dining room with a matching parquet floor is accessed through a bank of bi-fold doors and opens in to a further sitting area with doors out to the rear terrace. An impressive double reception room has a substantial fireplace, mullion windows, and French doors leading out to the main terrace, enjoying the wonderful view over the lake.
The kitchen has been extended and opened up to provide a fabulous triple use space including a large dining and family area. Fitted with a range of contemporary high gloss cabinets including a large central island and fitted breakfast bar, there are corian worksurfaces and a range of built-in appliances by Gaggenau and Neff. The kitchen opens to a large living and dining area with banks of windows and bi-fold doors to the rear terrace enjoying the lovely views of the lake, and a huge roof lantern provides exceptional light quality. A large sitting room, which is currently used as a study, lies off the family room with windows overlooking the front driveway, and a rear hall area gives access to a shower room, WC, utility room and a garden room which is currently used as a gymnasium but could easily be an additional sitting room, or in fact would make a wonderful office, overlooking the terrace and lake. At lower ground floor level is a converted basement providing access to the comms room and a superb storage area with a tiled floor.
The impressive galleried landing overlooks the front and gives access to each of the bedrooms - the main bedroom suite has fitted furniture by Clive Christian and offers a sunny dual aspect with french doors to a substantial walk-out balcony overlooking the lake. It has a good sized dressing room and en suite bathroom all with fitted hand painted furniture by Christian’s. The remaining three double bedrooms all have fitted furniture and enjoy en suite facilities including one bathroom and two shower rooms.
Externally, the house offers a huge amount for buyers. The gated driveway provides off road parking for a number of vehicles and there is a detached double garage at the front of the house. Other houses along the road have increased the size of their garaging here and there may be opportunity to enlarge this building and create accommodation above, subject to planning permission. The gardens are immaculate, they are beautifully landscaped with formal lawns, traditional shrub borders and a number of mature trees, and immediately at the rear of the house is a huge formal terrace which links all of the ground floor accommodation, is split-level and flows on to the rear garden. The backdrop is exceptional with the lake at the rear and views of the golf course beyond, and a good sized private terrace adjoining the lake provides a wonderful tranquil seating area, and there is a boat house for lake use.
NB Residents who live along Mereside Road have use of a footpath, which runs around the rear of each garden around the lake and the golf course, and non-motorised watersports and fishing are permitted for residents.

What Other Related Technologies Does PropertyHeads Use, and Why?
Tracking Pixels: Our advertising partners may use tracking pixels or similar technology to measure the success of the sponsored posts or other advertising products they use. A “tracking pixel” (also sometimes called web beacon, or clear GIF) is a tiny piece of code, invisible to the user, placed on a webpage or in an email and used in combination with a cookie, to link a given activity or impression back to the user; the advertiser includes it in its content so it can measure whether our members interact with that content (for example, by clicking to view an offer). We may set our own tracking pixel on an advertiser’s website so we can measure whether our members found the advertiser’s content effective or interesting, by tracking whether the sponsored post prompted members to take advantage of the advertised offer. This information helps us assess whether sponsored posts and other advertising offers are relevant and interesting to our members and successful for the advertiser.
