Stunning 4 bed Grade II Listed former Methodist Chapel with hot tub, sleeps 8-10
Mere Methodist Church is an impressive 4 double bedroom, 4 bathroom family residence. Converted to a residential home in 2019, it offers all the modern facilities you'd expect whilst retaining its historic charm and feel. Perfect for one larger family or two families sharing.
Downstairs features a front entrance hall leading into a very large, spacious lounge with 6.5m high ceilings. A contemporary gas fire and aquarium make the large space feel calm and comfortable and the original pulpit keeps you in mind of the buildings heritage (although we do use it as a bar!). The lounge features two, four seater leather sofas and a matching armchair so there's plenty of seating for everyone. A 52 inch smart TV with Freesat and DVD player and music system provide plenty of entertainment. There is a selection of DVD's and books to choose from in case you need some inspiration. The lounge is a great entertaining space.
From the lounge you walk into the spacious kitchen diner. The kitchen enjoys a large central island and is of a modern grey gloss and copper design. 2 ovens, 2 microwaves, dishwasher and American style fridge/freezer with mains connected water and ice machine ensure you'll have everything you need for a relaxing stay. The dining area has a large oak table with 8 chairs but the table can seat 10 comfortably. The room is a flexible space, perfect for entertaining friends or having a quiet family meal. It is usually where everyone congregates for a glass of wine in the evening.
From the kitchen you access the side entrance hall from which there is a shower room and utility room containing washing machine, tumble dryer and extra fridge freezer.
Exiting the house via the side entrance you access the rear garden with large decked area containing 4 loungers and 2 chairs. On the decking is a 5 person hot tub. Some of the images showing the garden still show the old 14ft Hydropool but this is no longer there and has been replaced by the hot tub. There is also a ping pong table. The patio area contains a large table with umbrella which seats 8 people.
Back inside the house, from the lounge there is an impressive glass and oak staircase leading to the first floor where there are 2 large double bedrooms (one with a king-size bed and the other with a double bed). The king-size bedroom has an ensuite shower room. Next to these 2 bedrooms is a large family bathroom with separate shower and large bath.
Moving along the mezzanine walkway looking down into the lounge you reach the gallery room (which used to house pews for the congregation sitting upstairs) which features a glass wall looking down into the lounge. This room contains a 60inch smart TV offering Freeview, Netflix, Amazon Prime TV and all the usual catch up stations (paid channels like Netflix and Amazon Prime TV are not included but can be accessed using your own log in details if required). A selection of board games is available in case it pours down and everyone is desperate to play Monopoly or Risk.
From outside the Gallery Room you access a second staircase to take you up to the master suite and 4th bedroom. This second staircase also provides secondary access back down to the front entrance hall.
The master suite contains a king-size bed, fitted wardrobes along an entrance hallway and an ensuite shower room. There is a TV with DVD player.
The final room is the 4th bedroom featuring a double bed, wardrobe and drawers.
Mere is a lovely little town (more like a village in feel) which has 3 pubs in walking distance of the property, Angel Corner Tea Room, small Co-Op, Post Office, Pharmacy, Mere Bake & Grill and The Sprout and Flower which sells fruit, veg, bread, milk and flowers. It also sells coffee, teas and cake. Within walking distance are loads of lovely walks in the countryside. Mere is situated only a few minutes drive from Stourhead National Trust House and Gardens, 40 minutes from the historic city of Salisbury with its stunning cathedral, 40 mins from Cheddar Gorge and Wookey Hole, 50 mins from the South coast including Poole, Bournemouth and Corfe Castle, 40 mins from Clarks Village Shopping Area, 45 mins to Monkey World and the Tank Museum, 20 mins to the Fleet Air Arm Museum and Haynes Motor Museum.
Mere Methodist Church would be an ideal place to use as a base for exploring Wiltshire, Somerset and Dorset. Great for one or two families sharing. There are 2 small rooms on the ground floor (a study and storage room) and one room up in the attic (storage) which will be locked. This will not affect your stay as there is plenty of space in this large building.
