Bignal Rand Drive, Wells, Somerset, BA5

An extended four bedroom semi-detached house with a superb rear garden, pleasantly situated in a popular residential area in Wells. Available with no onward chain, the property includes two reception rooms, two bathrooms, a utility room, an integral garage, driveway parking and a double-width garden. Viewings highly recommended. EPC rating D.


A door to the front of the property opens into the hall, which incorporates the staircase to the first floor and access into the sitting room. A generous size reception room at the front of the house, the sitting room enjoys plenty of natural light and includes an under-stairs cupboard. An opening from the sitting room then continues through to the adjoining dining room, which has a double glazed sliding door to the rear garden.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of matching wooden fronted floor and wall units, with space for a freestanding cooker and an under-the-counter fridge. Looking out across the garden, the kitchen then gives access to a useful utility room, which benefits from a further sink unit, an external door to the garden and an inner door to the integral garage.

On the first floor, a central landing leads all rooms. There are four good size bedrooms (three doubles and a comfortable single). Furthermore, there is a well-appointed family bathroom with a heated towel rail, plus an additional modern shower room, perfect for families.

OUTSIDE
To the front of the property, a driveway provides off-road parking for one vehicle. The driveway leads to an integral garage, which has a single door to the front with double glazed windows either side and access to the utility room beyond. The garage has light and power and houses the boiler for the gas-fired central heating system. There are sections of the garden to the front and side of the property, with gated access leading through to the rear. There is scope at the front for additional parking to be made if desired (subject to gaining the relevant consents).

One of the main selling points of this wonderful family home is the double-width garden to the rear. The current owners historically purchased an additional parcel of ground, with the garden now an excellent size, presented in two sections. Mainly laid to lawn with established trees, plants and shrubs, as well as a section with vegetable plots, the garden offers plenty of space for outdoor seating/dining. In addition, there is a garden shed and a greenhouse.

The City of Wells is renowned for its beautiful architecture, including the Cathedral and the Bishop’s Palace. England’s smallest city, Wells contains many clubs and societies for those wishing to get involved in the thriving local community. There are excellent shopping facilities, a bustling High Street with both independent and well-known retailers, as well as various major supermarkets, including Waitrose.

Wells also benefits from a busy, twice-weekly produce market in the Market Square. Bristol and Bath are readily accessible, as is Castle Cary to the south which has the nearest mainline train station to London Paddington. There is excellent schooling locally,  both state and independent. The property is conveniently located within easy travelling distance of a number of local primary schools, as well as Wells Blue School (secondary).
