Bedrooms: 3
A three bedroom detached bungalow, offered to the market for the first time in 35 years. This superb property is situated in a sought-after cul-de-sac location and set within a generous plot approaching 0.25 acre. Enjoying an impressive westerly outlook towards Wells Cathedral, the property includes a garage, parking and wonderful surrounding gardens. No onward chain. EPC rating E.
A door to the front of the property opens into a central, L-shaped hall which has an exposed wood floor, access to all rooms and incorporates the hatch to the loft space. To the right of the hall is a triple-aspect sitting/dining room benefitting from plenty of natural light with a pleasant outlook at the front towards Wells Cathedral. Within the sitting room is an open fire, an exposed wood floor and a serving hatch to the kitchen. Fitted with a range of floor and wall units, the kitchen includes a slimline Bosch dishwasher, plumbing for a washing machine and space for both an under-the-counter fridge and a freestanding cooker. The kitchen also has a built-in airing cupboard housing the hot water cylinder and a door to the rear into a glazed lean-to, which in turn leads out to the garden.
There are three bedrooms; two doubles and a good size single. Both of the bedrooms at the front of the bungalow have a delightful view of the cathedral and the master is dual-aspect.
Completing the accommodation is the bathroom, which comprises a panelled bath with an electric shower over, a pedestal wash hand basin and a low-level WC.
There is a fully boarded loft with built-in ladder access.
OUTSIDE
At the front of the property is a single garage, which has an 'up and over' door. In front of the garage is a driveway providing off-road parking for several vehicles.
The well-tended gardens surround the property and are predominantly laid to lawn with established borders, mature planting and a variety of trees, shrubs and fruit trees. Ideal for green-fingered purchasers, the garden has various sections, including an upper level with a summerhouse and views towards Tor Woods to the south. In addition, there is gated access to each side, an area of patio to the rear and an outside tap.
Woodbury Close is a favoured cul-de-sac of bungalows, located in a peaceful position off of Woodbury Avenue, on the ever-popular eastern side of Wells. The property is within a short walk of the local Budgens mini-market and fuel station on the Bath Road (via a useful pedestrian footpath in Woodbury Avenue). The Tor Woods footpath is also accessible close by, providing a pleasant walk into Wells.
The City of Wells is renowned for its beautiful architecture, including the Cathedral and the Bishop's Palace. England's smallest city, Wells contains many clubs and societies for those wishing to get involved in the thriving local community. There are excellent shopping facilities, a bustling High Street with both independent and well-known retailers, as well as various major supermarkets, including Waitrose. Wells also benefits from a busy, twice-weekly produce market in the Market Square.
In addition, there is a large bus/coach station providing links to other parts of the West Country. Bristol and Bath are readily accessible, as is Castle Cary to the south which has the nearest mainline train station to London Paddington (approx. 1 hour 40 mins).
There are excellent schooling options, both state and independent, in and around the area. The property is conveniently located within easy travelling distance of Stoberry Park Primary School and Wells Blue School, the local secondary school.
