Northfield Lane, Wells-next-the-Sea, NR23

Southcott is a deceptively spacious and beautifully refurbished 3 storey semi-detached home, offering flexible 4/5 bedroom accommodation and 3 bathrooms.  Ideally located within walking distance of the town centre of the sought after seaside town of Wells-next-the-Sea, it also benefits from easy access to local amenities.

Thoughtfully extended and renovated to a high standard, this versatile property has been designed to maximise light and space, making it perfect for family living or those seeking multi generational accommodation with annexe potential. On the ground floor, a welcoming porch leads into a comfortable sitting room, which flows through to an inner lobby connecting to a utility room and a contemporary shower room.  Also on this level is a flexible double bedroom with its own private entrance and direct access to the shower room - ideal for use as an annexe, guest suite, or home office.  To the rear of the property, an impressive open plan kitchen/dining/living room provides a bright and sociable space perfect for everyday living and entertaining.  Bi-fold doors open onto the landscaped rear garden, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.

The first floor offers 2 generous double bedrooms - both enjoying distant sea views - and a luxurious family bathroom.  An additional room on this floor can be used as a nursery, study, or dressing room, complementing the stunning second floor principal suite, which boasts panoramic views across the sea and marshes and features its own en suite shower room.

Additional benefits include gas-fired central heating, driveway parking for up to three vehicles, and a beautifully landscaped, low maintenance rear garden.  This is a rare opportunity to purchase a stylish, spacious and highly versatile home in one of North Norfolk’s most desirable coastal locations.

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