Butt Of Sherry, The Butt Of Sherry, Castle Street, Mere, Wiltshire
Description
Location
Mere is bypassed by the A303 London to West Country trunk road which has enabled the town to develop as a desirable residential location. Mere has a number of small businesses, shopping facilities and a primary school. Mere benefits from direct access onto the A303 and also from the main line railway station in neighbouring Gillingham which stands on the London Waterloo to Exeter line.
Mere has a population approaching 3,500 people and benefits from travellers attracted from the A303. Mere is close to the Dorset and Somerset border with the town of Shaftesbury being approximately 8 miles south and the town of Warminster 10 miles north.
The Property
The Butt of Sherry is contained in a period Grade II listed building in an area with many other fine stone residences, a short distance from the Old Market Square which features a chiming town clock and a 15th Century Parish Church.
