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

19/21 Park Road is a surprisingly large double fronted mid terrace period cottage, built circa 1834, in a tucked away location just a short walk from the centre of the seaside town of Wells-next-the-Sea.  The property would make an ideal permanent residence or, as its current use, a much loved second home with holiday lettings potential.

The cottage has extended ground floor accommodation comprising an entrance hall, kitchen/breakfast room, sitting room, double bedroom, shower room and WC.  The upstairs rooms all have full height vaulted ceilings with exposed beams with the landing leading to 2 further double bedrooms, the principal offering scope to create an en suite (subject to the necessary permissions) and a bathroom. The property further benefits from UPVC double glazing, solid wood internal latch doors, gas-fired central heating and a fireplace in the sitting room which houses a wood burning stove.

Outside, the property has a good sized attractive west facing rear garden with a paved terrace and lawns.

19/21 Park Road is 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. 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.
