West Street, Wells

Sitting in a quiet cul de sac on the south western side of the City, number 9 West Street is a wonderful terraced house with three bedrooms, driveway parking for two cars, a front and rear garden and loads of character. Just a short stroll to the supermarkets and the High Street, this lovely home offers a great opportunity for anyone wanting the convenience of living in the centre of Wells yet in a quiet spot away from the crowds.
The house has been significantly updated and renovated inside and out over the past few years. 

Approached through a wrought iron garden gate and across a smart gravelled courtyard garden, steps lead up to the front door and into a light and spacious hall with views through to the garden beyond. Wooden floors on the ground floor and great natural light are lovely features throughout. The sitting room to the right is bright and spacious, boasting a bay window and plenty of room for entertaining family and friends. The hallway leads on into the fabulous country style kitchen which truly feels like the heart of this home. Flooded with light from large windows looking out on the garden beyond, the kitchen is full of character and very well appointed with an electric Rangemaster and extractor hood, dishwasher, and plenty of space for an American style fridge freezer and a larder cupboard. A log burner stands ready to warm the colder evenings and there is still ample room for a large table and chairs creating a wonderful entertaining space, with double doors opening out into the garden on warmer evenings. A hallway off the kitchen houses the washing machine and gas combi boiler, along with a door out to the terrace which is shielded from the elements by an oak and glass veranda canopy. 

From the hallway, the staircase leads upstairs to a landing off which there are two double bedrooms and a single, with a family bathroom comprising tub and shower, loo and basin, and pretty tiled floor. The landing houses an enormous airing cupboard.

Outside 
The garden to the rear has something for everyone. The glass and oak veranda canopy provides a very useful undercover space and leads the way to an outside loo and basin. In addition there is lawn, a decked seating area, a bbq space and double doors leading directly into the kitchen. There is an electricity point close to the garden gate which leads out to a gravelled private parking area for two cars. To the front of the house is a smart gravelled courtyard garden bordered by shrubs, flowers and a pretty holly tree. 


Situation 
Wells is the smallest Cathedral city in England and offers all the usual amenities that you would expect including banks, doctor’s surgeries, dentists, a selection of primary schools and the excellent Blue School and Wells Cathedral School. The High Street is vibrant with a small selection of chain stores such as Waterstones, plus a variety of independent shops, restaurants and pubs. A wander round the corner brings you to Queen Street Deli with its amazing range of cheeses, breads and chocolates. There is a twice weekly market and a choice of supermarkets including Waitrose. At the very heart of the city is the stunning mediaeval Cathedral, Bishop’s Palace with its superb garden and Vicars’ Close (reputed to be the oldest surviving residential street in Europe). Wells is fast becoming the South West's go-to place for festivals with the annual food, literary, comedy and theatre events. Both Bath (21 miles) and Bristol (22 miles) are within commuting distance and there is a main line railway station with links to London in Castle Cary 13 miles away. 
There are excellent state and independent schools in the area including highly regarded primary schools in Wells, Wells Cathedral School - prep and senior, Millfield - prep and senior, the popular Wells Blue Secondary School, Strode College, Downside School and All Hallows Preparatory School to name a few.
