Southgate Close, Wells-next-the-Sea, NR23

Cheriton is a rare and exciting opportunity to purchase a large detached single storey property which offers the buyers the chance to refurbish to personal taste but also lends itself to extension, perhaps into the roof space, (subject to the necessary permissions).  The existing accommodation is well proportioned and comprises an L-shaped inner hallway leading to a kitchen/breakfast room, dining room, conservatory and a double aspect sitting room.  There are also 3 double bedrooms and a bathroom.  Further benefits include gas-fired central heating, 3 open fireplaces, picture rails and period doors.

Outside, there is driveway parking leading to an attached garage, 3 useful stores, with a lawned front garden and an attractive south facing garden to the rear.

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. 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. Gas-fired central heating to radiators.  EPC Rating Band TBC.
