Mere Area Guide & Estate Agents

Mere is one of Cheshire’s most exclusive residential areas, renowned for its beautiful countryside, outstanding homes and excellent connections. Just outside Knutsford and minutes from Manchester Airport, it offers space, privacy and prestige in equal measure. With its lakes, leafy lanes and proximity to Tatton Park, Mere combines the tranquillity of rural living with the convenience of city access.

History and Heritage

Mere takes its name from the large lakes, or “meres,” that define the landscape. Historically, it was an agricultural parish, with estates and farmhouses set among open fields. Its rural character has been carefully preserved, even as it has grown into one of Cheshire’s most desirable addresses.

Mere Old Hall and other period houses reflect the area’s long history, while its green setting and wide open views retain a timeless quality.

The Mere Golf Resort and Spa is a focal point of local lifestyle, offering championship golf, a luxury spa, gym, restaurants and social events in a prestigious setting.

The Great Outdoors

Mere is defined by its natural surroundings. Lakes and woodlands provide a picturesque backdrop, while Tatton Park’s 1,000 acres of parkland and gardens are only moments away. Walking, riding and cycling routes extend throughout the countryside, while golf and country clubs add further opportunities for leisure.
