After two decades of calling Clamhunger Lane home, Wayne Shillito, his wife Debi, and their two sons are bidding farewell to a home that has been a labour of love. Nestled in one of Mere’s most tranquil and private spots, this property is a blend of original 1950s charm and modern luxury.

Wayne says: 'The central section of the house is original, but we’ve carried out numerous extensions and refurbishments over the past 20 years, with our final one completed a few months ago.'
These thoughtful upgrades reflect not only the growth of their family but the changing needs and desires of modern living. The result? A bright, contemporary home in mature grounds, ideal for a new family to enjoy.
One of the unique highlights of this property is its proximity to The Mere Golf Resort & Spa. 'We back onto the 16th hole and due to its dog-legged layout you can watch golfers play the entire hole,' says Wayne, who has spent countless afternoons watching golfers tee off and putt out from the comfort of the property’s first-floor balcony. ‘It’s one of the quietest, most secluded spots in Mere; perfect for enjoying a coffee or glass of wine.’

For Wayne and his family, all keen golfers and club members, the convenience of living just steps from the course and spa was priceless. ‘I never had to drive to the club. It’s a five-minute walk from the garden, and my wife and I would stroll over to events, parties and dinners there. The boys too could walk to the gym and spa in the evenings with no safety concerns.’
Although the Shillito family have now moved to a new property nearby, they look back on their time at Copperfields with fond memories. ‘We loved living here – just a couple of miles from Knutsford and only five miles to Hale – yet it feels completely private and rural, which is why we have never moved from Mere since we arrived 30 years ago.'

As the Shillito family move on, they leave behind a property that’s ready for its next chapter.
'It’s like a brand-new home but with none of the risks of settling or the snagging issues you get.
If you want to live in Mere, backing onto the new luxury Mere Resort and Spa currently undergoing a £100m refurbishment, here it is; a beautiful blank canvas,' Wayne says proudly. ‘All the hard work has been done, whoever moves in can just make it their own.’
For those seeking a serene yet connected lifestyle, in the heart of Mere, this beautifully refurbished home could be the perfect fit.
Copperfields is for sale for £3.625m through Thornley Groves, thornleygroves.co.uk.
