Description
A handsome, well-maintained townhouse with Victorian proportions, high ceilings and large windows (new conservation, timber sash in 2014). Thought to have been built in 1913/4 it has undergone reconfigurations over the years and now provides spacious and attractive accommodation to suit modern life.
Extremely well located to enjoy all the facilities Wells has to offer, with spacious accommodation over 3 floor and an attractive, private, sheltered courtyard garden. The property has the advantage of not being over looked and of access from the courtyard out to the front, via the old garage – handy for garden waste and bins.
Accommodation
The front door opens to an entrance hall and an internal door leads through to the spacious study and sitting room. An attractive tiled, Victorian, open fire is a focal point and also provides warmth in the winter months. It is regularly used by the current owner and is a charming feature. Bespoke, timber, recess shelving beside the chimney breast has integral lighting. Large windows ensure there is plenty of natural light in this elegant room and there are two handy understairs cupboards, one for shoes and boots and another for coats.
The kitchen/dining room works well with a seamless open plan design. Again there are recess shelves and a cupboard, space for a table and chairs. The kitchen is well designed as a workspace with fitted units, oak work surface, gas cooker with extractor, space for a fridge/freezer and slimline dish washer. 2 large sash windows ensure there is plenty of light and very attractive views over the rear courtyard garden which is super private and very appealing.
A half-glazed door opens to the utility room which has base units, a sink, and space for a washing machine. The property is fitted with solar panels which heat the hot water, the tank for this water is easily accessible in the utility room.
An exterior door leads out to the courtyard and beyond the utility is a w.c.
Upstairs there are 3 bedrooms, all with built-in-cupboards and an attractive family bathroom radiating off a bright landing. A door opens to stairs which lead to the 2nd floor where there is a super, versatile, room - ideal as a principal bedroom or large studio. Alternatively, it could be divided into two separate rooms. There is scope to add a second bathroom, either on the 2nd floor or above the garage in the loft.
Outside
The sheltered, very private, paved courtyard is extremely charming. It has the added dimension of a stream which provides an auditory backdrop that feels very far from ‘town centre’.
The original garage has been converted into a half garage/storeroom and additional access point to Southover this is ideal for garden maintenance and for ‘putting the bins out’. A hatch opens to the loft void above the garage – this has a light and is boarded – it offers scope for further accommodation if required.

P.S.
A few extra comments.
Mortgages – we can help.
Bridging loans – We can help.
Moving house is complicated and stressful when a sale and purchase needs to be tied together in terms of finance and timing.
Sometimes we can negotiate an agreement to suit both sellers and buyers.
Sometimes a bridging loan can solve problems and remove stress.
