A delightful, double-fronted stone cottage, conveniently situated within walking distance of Wells city centre. This well-presented period home includes two reception rooms, three bedrooms and a beautiful, south-facing rear garden which enjoys sunshine throughout the day. EPC rating D.
A door to the front of the property opens into a small hall, which incorporates the staircase to the first floor and doors to both reception rooms. To the right, is a traditional sitting room that has two alcoves with shelving and a timber framed double glazed window (continued throughout the main house) to the front with a lovely window seat.
Across the hall is a separate dining room, also with a front aspect and a window seat. Within the dining room is a stone fireplace, currently with an inset electric stove (wood burner effect), alcove shelving, an under stairs cupboard and an archway through to the kitchen. Fitted with a range of matching floor and wall units in a 'cottage style', the kitchen offers space for a freestanding gas cooker and an under-the-counter fridge. The kitchen has a ceramic drainer sink unit with mixer tap, some attractive shelving, a window to the rear and glazed double doors through to the utility room.
Located at the back of the cottage, the utility room provides a vanity wash hand basin, plus plumbing and space for a washing machine and a tumble drier. Adjoining the utility room is a downstairs WC and the external door to the garden is also via the utility.
On the first floor, a central landing leads to three bedrooms, the master being dual-aspect and two of the bedrooms having fitted storage. Completing the accommodation is the family bathroom, which comprises a panelled bath with a shower over and tiling around, a low-level WC and a pedestal wash hand basin.
OUTSIDE
Steps from the back of the cottage lead up to the elevated garden, beautifully landscaped and a real haven, which is enclosed to all sides by walling and fencing and benefits from good amounts of privacy. Facing south, the garden enjoys plenty of sunshine throughout the day.
A section of patio provides a delightful seating area, perfect for outdoor dining. Within the garden, there is an area of artificial lawn for low maintenance, mature borders, shrubs and plants, as well as an established pear tree. Furthermore, there is a separate stone-chipped seating area and a useful garden store.
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 walking distance of Wells Blue School, the local secondary school.
