About this property

Constructed around 15 years ago by renowned house builder CG Fry and located in a highly sought-after area of Mere, 6 Oak Lane is just a short distance from the main town centre and the local amenities it has to offer. The ‘cottage style’ property is an attractive double fronted house finished with stone elevations under a slate roof and offers well-proportioned accommodation across two levels some of which would benefit from a little updating. The ground floor comprises a large entrance hall with stairs and cloakroom, a double aspect sitting room with feature fireplace and French doors to the rear garden.

The agent hasn't said which band this home is in; you can look it up on GOV.UK. In Dorset, 2026/27 bills run from £1,843 a year in band A to £5,530 in band H.

Figures from MHCLG (Open Government Licence v3): the average bill for each band across Dorset, including the typical parish precept, so a parish's own bill can differ a little. Discounts lower the bill, such as 25% off for an adult living alone.
