The Buttlands, Wells-next-the-Sea

SUMMARY
Rose Cottage has been a cherished holiday home for over 40 years but is now being offered for sale with no onward chain - the property has a wealth of period charm and is brimming with original features. This characterful home is situated on The Buttlands - a beautifully landscaped green in the heart of Wells-next-the-Sea, often considered the town's hidden gem. The location alone is a rare find, with an air of sophistication and exclusivity, however the cottage also offers a wonderful opportunity for someone to make it their own and create a dream home.
 

GROUND FLOOR
A local historian shared with the current owners that the property is believed to date back to the 1720's, meaning this cottage could well have been one of the initial dwellings in the area and much of the building's historic character has been preserved, although some modest updates have been made over the last 40 years.

A charming reception hall welcomes you as you enter through the front door and features a traditional pantile floor - a hint of the property's rich past. A sitting room, located at the front of the house, offers delightful views across The Buttlands and boasts original doors, a feature fireplace and period flooring - all contributing to its warm and inviting feel.

To the rear of the cottage is the kitchen/dining area which has served as a lively heart to the home, with a selection of base units - this space has been a magnet for visiting family & friends and is perfect for relaxed get-togethers. Access from the kitchen leads to the rear lobby and then on to the garden.
 

FIRST FLOOR
A traditional Norfolk winder staircase leads to the first floor landing, from which two double bedrooms and a family bathroom are accessed - the layout is simple and functional, with great potential for updating and modernising, if desired.
 

OUTSIDE
Rose Cottage enjoys gardens to both the front and rear, each of which have been designed for ease of maintenance - an ideal set-up for a holiday home. The front garden is bordered by mature shrubs and flower beds - offering a splash of colour and kerb appeal. To the rear, the west-facing garden is fully paved and perfectly positioned to catch the afternoon/evening sun, enclosed by attractive brick walls - this private outdoor space is ideal for summer barbecues, quiet morning coffees, or simply to enjoy the serenity of the setting.
 

LOCATION
Wells-next-the-Sea is one of the loveliest towns on the North Norfolk Coast - a busy commercial port and manufacturing town between the 16th and 20th centuries but now a popular seaside resort for holidaymakers. Almost the entire 50 mile stretch of coastline from Snettisham in the west, to Mundesley in the east, is designated as an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Wells is perfectly located as a base from which to explore the area.

The sweeping sandy beach is bordered by Pinewoods and colourful beach huts, the bustling harbour is where you'll find children crabbing on The Quay - opposite the finest fish & chips and the pretty leafy green known as 'The Buttlands' has warm & welcoming taverns. Wells really is the perfect, family friendly seaside destination.

There are plenty of amenities; including schools, a doctor's surgery, dentist, library, food stores, pubs & restaurants, together with interesting independent boutiques & galleries. The Maltings is a venue for art, theatre & cinema and the vibrant community organises year-round events which help keep this seaside town one of the most desirable places in Norfolk to live.
