High Street, Wells-next-the-Sea, NR23

Offered for sale with no onward chain, 64 High Street is a charming period property on one of the most popular streets in Wells-next-the-Sea.  This attractive cottage stands in a tucked away position just off the High Street and adjoins what was once the town's headquarters for St John's Ambulance Brigade.  The property has been beautifully refurbished by the current owners and has the benefit of UPVC double glazed windows and doors throughout, oak latch internal doors, gas-fired central heating with a wood burning stove in the living area and a pretty walled garden to the front.  The accommodation comprises an entrance porch with space for coat hooks and shoe storage etc and an opening to the open plan kitchen/dining/living room.  The landing upstairs leads to 2 double bedrooms and a luxury shower room.

The High Street in Wells-next-the-Sea is designated as a Conservation Area and is now almost entirely residential but still reflects its former glory with its quaint, period shop frontages and prides itself as one of the town's most prestigious addresses. Number 64 is situated at the bottom of the old High Street, with all of the town's amenities just a short walk away making the property an ideal second home with a proven track record as a successful holiday lettings business or a conveniently located compact home.

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.
