Standard Road, Wells-next-the-Sea, NR23

The Cobblers and Cobblers Cottage is a rare opportunity to purchase a substantial detached family house together with a detached cottage situated in a prominent location right in the heart of Wells-next-the-Sea, just moments from the Quay.  The properties stand in good sized gardens and grounds with extensive driveway parking.

The main house, The Cobblers, has stylishly presented 8 bedroom, 8 bathroom accommodation laid out over 3 storeys.  The spacious entrance hall leads to a kitchen/breakfast room with a separate dining room, sitting room and garden room.  Outside, the west facing garden comprises a paved terrace with a lawn beyond and a large timber workshop/store.

The cottage, Cobblers Cottage, has completely self-contained accommodation comprising a spacious entrance hall with doors to a kitchen/dining room and sitting room with a landing upstairs leading to 2 bedrooms and a bathroom.

Currently 2 successful holiday lets, The Cobblers and Cobblers Cottage also provide a bed and breakfast opportunity with separate owners accommodation.  Alternatively, the properties would provide an ideal spacious family home close to the coast and amenities together with a detached annexe with useful income potential from holiday letting.  The properties are being offered for sale with no onward chain and 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. After 3 years of restoration, the Quay also sees the welcome return of The Albatros (a former Dutch cargo ship) which is permanently moored and will reopen soon offering its own unique forms of hospitability. 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.
