Mill Road, Wells-next-the-Sea, NR23

A charming semi detached house tucked within a peaceful gravelled courtyard of just 6 properties, 4 Claxtons Yard offers a rare blend of character, space, and convenience.  The courtyard itself has a touch of local heritage, named after Robert Claxton, who operated a mineral water manufacturing company on the site from the 1920s until its closure in 1974.

Ideally located just a short walk from the shops, amenities and coastal attractions of Wells-next-the-Sea, the property enjoys a private walled courtyard garden - designed for low maintenance - and benefits from a large garage and 3 dedicated parking spaces.

Inside, the house is deceptively spacious with light-filled, well proportioned rooms.  The ground floor features a kitchen, dining room, a cosy sitting room with an open fireplace and a rear hall leading to a practical utility room with WC.  Upstairs, a central landing gives access to 3 bedrooms and a bathroom.  Additional features include UPVC double-glazed windows and doors throughout, electric night storage heating, and the benefit of no onward chain. Some furniture, fixtures, and fittings are also 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.

Mains water, mains drainage and mains electricity.  Electric night storage heating.  EPC Rating Band TBC.
