Portway, Wells, BA5

DESCRIPTION

A splendid four bedroom period property with character features throughout, enclosed west facing gardens and within easy reach of the High Street, amenities and Wells Cathedral. The property has been enhanced by the current owner and would make a wonderful home for a family or someone downsizing and desiring all amenities close by. 

Upon entering the house is a light and bright entrance hall with original wooden door with stained glass, exposed wooden floors and storage beneath the stairs. The sitting room is situated at the front of the house with an open fire as the focal point, along with bespoke shelves, wooden floors and a view towards St Cuthberts Church. The dining room has fitted storage, a view to the garden and ample space for a table to accommodate six to eight people. The kitchen features an array of fitted units, space and plumbing for white goods and access directly out to the enclosed rear gardens. 

To the first floor are two spacious double bedrooms, both with feature fireplaces, one looking out towards St Cuthberts church and the other looking out over the gardens. The shower room has been beautifully finished with a large walk-in shower, toilet, wash basin and heated towel rail. 

The second floor features two further bedrooms, a good sized single and a double with storage in the eaves. These two rooms could be knocked together to create one large principal suite, if desired. 

OUTSIDE

The enclosed rear garden has a westerly aspect benefitting from an abundance of afternoon sunshine. Within the garden is an area for patio furniture and dining surrounded by borders of shrubs, bushes and flowers. 

Parking permits can be purchased for nearby on street parking.
