Chapel Yard, Wells-next-the-Sea, NR23

12 Chapel Yard is a charming mid terrace period cottage built of limewashed brick under a pantiled roof in a row of 7 Grade II Listed cottages and believed to date back to the early 19th Century. The property is situated on a quiet tucked away yard yet is just a short stroll to the Quay and the centre of the seaside town of Wells-next-the-Sea. The extended accommodation briefly comprises a kitchen/dining room and sitting room with a landing leading to 2 bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. The property would now benefit from some light refurbishment but does have gas-fired central heating installed and sash windows to the front aspect.

Outside, there is a small plant bed to the front with a lawned and paved garden to the rear, a garage and parking space, all of which are at a premium this close to the town centre.

12 Chapel Yard is being offered for sale with no onward chain and, with the town's shopping centre being just a short walk away, this is an ideal property for those buyers looking for a character permanent residence close to amenities or a second home with holiday lettings potential.  The furniture, fixtures and fittings are available by separate negotiation.

Wells-next-the-Sea has been a fishing and commercial port for nearly 600 years which still supports a thriving fishing fleet bringing in crabs, lobsters, mussels and whelks sold locally on the quayside and in nearby restaurants. With a growing number of leisure craft moorings, a lively, sociable sailing club, harbour and sea fishing trips, the town caters for every type of water activity including “gillying” -crabbing on the quayside. Situated a mile from the Quay, the stunning extensive sandy beach is ranked as one of the top 10 in the country by Telegraph Travel. Against a backdrop of Corsican pinewoods, the beach is home to the much publicised, iconic colourful beach huts, available to buy or rent daily.

From the top of town down to the Quay, Staithe Street provides visitors and locals with a wide variety of shops, cafes, galleries and food stores. For entertainment, the newly opened Wells Maltings offers live entertainment and exhibitions, whilst alongside the Quay, are all the usual popular traditional seaside attractions. Locals agree with The Times in March 2021 who voted Wells as one of the best places to live. Alongside coastal scenery, wildlife and water sports, the town has a primary and secondary school – both rated Good by Ofsted - as well as a library, doctor’s surgery and hospital providing a range of accessible and integrated health and well being services.
