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

34 Northfield Lane is a semi detached ex-local authority house with well presented flexible 3/4 bedroom accommodation and situated in the popular coastal town of Wells-next-the-Sea.  The property has been much improved by the current owner including a side extension providing a snug/bedroom 4, large utility/shower room plus the installation of oak veneer internal doors, new electrics and plumbing and a new roof in 2018.  The entrance hall leads to a well appointed kitchen with a dining room off, sitting room with a wood burning stove and a landing upstairs leading to 3 bedrooms and a luxury bathroom.  Further benefits include UPVC double glazed windows and doors throughout and gas-fired central heating.

Outside, there is an extensive gravelled driveway to the front and an attractively landscaped low maintenance rear garden with a timber garden studio.

Please note that there is a restrictive covenant on this property, which states that it may only be sold to a purchaser who has been resident in or worked in Norfolk for the 3 years prior to purchase.

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.
