Description

17 BATH ROAD,
WELLS, SOMERSET, BA5 3HP
A classic, handsome, redbrick, 4/5 bedroom townhouse, with a mature garden and rural outlook, in a super convenient location, within walking distance of the Cathedral and Market Square.
 
The house has an entrance hall, sitting room, dining room, cloakroom, kitchen, conservatory, 4/5 bedrooms and a family bathroom.
 
Outside there is a manageable front garden at access to the side to a private rear garden which extends to farmland, plus a garden shed.
 
Location
Bath Road heads northeast out of Wells towards the Golf Club and South Horrington. This property is less than 700mts from the Cathedral, which means Wells High Street is only a short distance further. A stroll down St. Thomas Street is always a treat with the charming variety of historic buildings taking you on a whistlestop tour of British architecture through the ages.
The property also benefits from a supermarket and petrol station within about 50mts, which is perfect if you have forgotten to buy milk!
The outlook at the rear is wonderfully rural.
 
Description
A charming, townhouse with accommodation over 3 floors, sympathetically renovated, with a light touch. The renovation has highlighted the heritage and original features in this classically beautiful home and there is a very authentic quality to the whole of the property.
The elevated position provides far-reaching views to the south and the house is flooded with light, from large sash windows.
The rural feel of the cottagey back garden is disarming making it is easy to forget the facilities of Wells are well within walking distance.
 
Accommodation
A front door opens to a hallway, to the left is the sitting room which is illuminated by a south facing sash window. An ornate and extremely attractive, original, marble fireplace, with open fire, is a stunning and elaborate focal point, complimented by the simplicity of exposed, original floorboards and neutral tones. 
The dining room also has an open fire with an original surround, quarry tiled floor and a large sash window overlooking the back garden. Under the stairs there is a cloakroom and storage and beyond this the kitchen which has the original flagstone floor.
There is a range of fitted units, an integrated electric oven, gas hob and extractor, and space for a dish washer, washing machine and fridge/freezer. A door opens to the terrace and another leads to the conservatory. This is a delightful place to enjoy the garden, whatever the weather and French doors lead out to the terrace.
 
Upstairs there are 5 bedrooms over 2 floors, the smallest is currently used as an office. The bedrooms, stairs and landings have exposed painted floorboards. There is also a family bathroom and plenty of eaves  storage.
 
Outside
Steps lead up to the front door, past a manageable front garden. A path leads to the enclosed rear garden. There is a paved terrace beside the kitchen and conservatory. Steps lead up to the lawned area which is interspersed with mature shrubs and trees, including an apple. Part walled, the garden feels wonderfully private and rural, it drifts off, beyond the end wall, to a field beyond, giving the sense that you are miles from the hustle and bustle of a town. A timber shed provides storage for garden equipment.
