44 Northfield Lane is a semi detached ex-local authority house situated in a popular residential area within walking distance of the town centre at Wells-next-the-Sea and close to walks to the North Norfolk Coastal Path and East Quay.  The property has well laid out living accommodation comprising an entrance hall, cloakroom, kitchen, dining room with a wide archway to the sitting room.  Upstairs, the landing leads to 3 bedrooms and a bathroom.  There is also the benefit of majority UPVC double glazed windows and doors, a sun room and conservatory plus a useful store.

Outside, 44 Northfield Lane has driveway parking to the front for several vehicles, a garage accessed from the rear and a lawned south facing rear garden.

The property is being offered for sale with no onward chain but please note that there is a restrictive Covenant which states that it may only be sold to a purchaser who has been resident in or worked in Norfolk for the 3 years prior to purchase.

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.

Mains water, mains drainage and mains electricity.  The property has no central heating installed.  EPC Rating Band F.
