The Quay, Wells-next-the-Sea, NR23

Constructed in 1904 to store grain for export when Wells-next-the-Sea was a bustling commercial port, this iconic landmark building with its distinctive overhanging gantry was given a new lease of life and converted into luxury apartments in 1988.  We are pleased to offer for sale this second floor apartment which offers stunning quayside and uninterrupted coastal views, whilst being in the centre of Wells-next-the-Sea and close to all amenities.

Ideal for vacation letting, as a second/holiday home or compact principal property, residents enjoy private parking and elevator access to residential floors. The apartment, with gas-fired radiator central heating, offers entrance hallway, double aspect sitting room with Juliet balcony making the most of the fine far reaching views, fitted kitchen, a large bedroom, also with sea views, and bathroom.

Offered for sale with no onward chain, the apartment is leasehold with 981 years remaining on the lease and the new owner will also acquire a share of the freehold.  There is an annual fee payable of approximately £1,922 - please ask Belton Duffey for more information.  Please note that the furniture, fixtures and fittings are also 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.
