Freeman Street, Wells-next-the-Sea, NR23

Longview Cottage is a delightful mid terrace period home, ideally positioned just a short stroll from the Quay in the seaside town of Wells-next-the-Sea. Enjoying elevated views across the pinewoods towards the sea, the cottage offers bright, beautifully presented accommodation which is arranged over 3 floors and blends timeless charm with contemporary comfort.

The ground floor features a well appointed kitchen/breakfast room, which flows into an open plan sitting and dining area.  A modern shower room and a door opening onto a winder staircase complete this level. Upstairs, there are 2 comfortable bedrooms and a cloakroom, while the top floor boasts a further spacious double bedroom with an en suite shower room and stunning far reaching coastal views.  Outside, a charming walled courtyard garden includes a spiral staircase leading up to a generous decked balcony—an ideal spot to soak in the scenery.  The property has been much improved by the current owners including re-roofing, upgraded electricals and upgraded fire prevention systems.

Currently a much loved second home and a successful holiday lettings business, Longview Cottage would equally suit those seeking a permanent residence close to all the amenities of Wells-next-the-Sea.  The property is offered with no onward chain and the furniture, fixtures and fittings are available by separate negotiation.

Wells-next-the-Sea has been a commercial and fishing port for nearly 600 years and still supports a thriving fishing fleet bringing in a catch of, predominantly, shellfish 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 extensive sandy beach is often ranked as one of the top 10 in the country by travel journals. Set against a backdrop of Corsican pinewoods, the stunning beach is home to the much publicised, iconic colourful beach huts, which are available to buy or can be rented 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 speciality food stores. For entertainment, the recently opened Wells Maltings offers live entertainment and exhibitions, whilst alongside the Quay, are all the usual popular traditional seaside attractions. 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 cottage hospital providing a range of accessible and integrated health and well-being services.
