Ashburton Close, Wells-next-the-Sea, NR23

Built in 2018 to a high specification, 6 Ashburton Close is a traditionally styled detached house situated in a tucked away position on the edge of the popular Staithe Place development on the outskirts of Wells-next-the-Sea. There is superbly presented light and airy accommodation including, to the ground floor, entrance hall, cloakroom, large kitchen/dining room with a utility area, a study and a spacious double aspect sitting room. Upstairs, the landing leads to an en suite principal bedroom, 3 further bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The property also has the benefit of double glazed windows and doors, gas-fired central heating, an intruder alarm and the remainder of its NHBC warranty.

Outside, 6 Ashburton Close stands in beautifully landscaped gardens to the front and rear with a garage and driveway parking.  The property has been a much loved permanent home for the current owner but would also suit those buyers looking for a low maintenance coastal second home less than a 10 minute walk from the town centre and the amenities on offer at Wells-next-the-Sea.

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.
