A door to the front of the property opens into an entrance porch, which has a double-glazed window to the side and an inner door through to the first reception room.

Adjoining, to the side of the property, is the main sitting room – dual-aspect and particularly spacious, with a set of double-glazed patio doors to the rear, opening out to the garden. This light and airy room includes an attractive central fireplace with an inset living flame gas fire.

One of the main selling points of 28 Wood Close is the open-plan kitchen/dining/living room located at the rear. A wonderful space for families and indeed for entertaining, this part of the house offers further flexibility, incorporating plenty of room for a dining table and chairs and additional soft furnishings.

Tastefully fitted with a range of matching floor and wall units, plus a large island with breakfast bar, the kitchen provides lots of day-to-day storage. Integrated within the kitchen is an electric double oven and hob, a pop-up extractor, a microwave, a dishwasher and a fridge/freezer. There is also an instant boiling water tap. A second set of double doors then opens out to the rear garden. Situated off the kitchen is a further hall, which provides side external access and doors into a downstairs WC and a utility room. An extremely useful room, the utility room is fitted with an extensive range of units and provides both space and plumbing for a freestanding washing machine, tumble dryer and under-the-counter fridges, if desired.

On the first floor, a central landing leads to all rooms and includes a built-in airing cupboard. Forming part of the side extension, the master bedroom benefits from a fantastic walk-in wardrobe and a finely-appointed en-suite bathroom. There are two further spacious double bedrooms, both of which have built-in wardrobes. Bedrooms four and five are both generous single rooms, ideal for children or as a home office. Completing the accommodation is a family shower room, fitted with a contemporary white suite.

OUTSIDE
The property has the advantage of a superb corner plot position within an established residential cul-de-sac on the western side of the city. To the front, a resin-bound driveway allows off-road parking for a couple of vehicles, side-by-side. The garden is mainly laid to lawn and continues around to the side of the property, where a further parking area can be found, with future scope for garaging or a carport (subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents).

The rear garden is fully enclosed by walling and fencing and faces west, enjoying an abundance of sunshine throughout the day and into the evening. Predominantly laid to lawn with mature shrub borders and a patio seating area, the rear garden includes a delightful summerhouse, an outside tap, wall-lighting and a gated access to the corner plot parking area. On the opposite side of the house, there is an undercover walkway, which leads to the aforementioned hall door and offers a dry and practical entrance to the house, especially for those with younger children (buggies, boots and bikes).

The City of Wells is renowned for its beautiful architecture, including the Cathedral and the Bishop’s Palace. England’s smallest city, Wells, contains many clubs and societies for those wishing to get involved in the thriving local community. There are excellent shopping facilities, a bustling High Street with both independent and well-known retailers, as well as various major supermarkets, including Waitrose.

Wells also benefits from a busy, twice-weekly produce market in the Market Square. Bristol and Bath are readily accessible, as is Castle Cary to the south, which has the nearest mainline train station to London Paddington.

There is excellent schooling locally,  both state and independent. The property is conveniently located within easy travelling distance of a number of local primary schools, as well as Wells Blue School (secondary).
