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

Fair Green offers the opportunity to purchase a distinctive, well-proportioned semi detached 1930s family house situated in an elevated position on the outskirts of Wells-next-the-Sea. The property stands in good sized south facing gardens with extensive driveway parking to the front and elevated coastal views to the north from 3 of the bedrooms.

The house still retains some original period features such as an impressive glazed entrance door with a glazed arched surround, fireplaces, exposed pine floorboards, bay windows and picture rails.  Additional more modern features include part UPVC double glazing and gas-fired central heating. The family sized ground floor accommodation briefly comprises entrance porch, hallway, cloakroom, kitchen/breakfast room, dining room, sitting room and a garden room which overlooks the rear gardens. Upstairs, the landing leads to 3 double bedrooms and a well appointed bathroom.

Attached to the main house is a 2 storey annexe extension with an open plan kitchen/dining/living room and a shower room to the ground floor with a double bedroom upstairs.  The annexe has been a successful holiday let for the current owner but also lends itself to forming part of the main house with a connecting door already in place.

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.

Mains water, mains drainage and mains electricity. Gas-fired central heating to radiators. EPC Rating Band D.
