Description

NOVARA HOUSE, 6 NORTH ROAD
WELLS BA5 2TJ
 
A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and beautifully presented home of considerable style and quality, set within generous grounds in one of Wells’ most sought-after locations.

A stunning light filled 4 bedroom house located with a short level walk (approximately 500 metres) of Wells Cathedral, the market square and the high street.

Set discreetly within its own generous grounds behind an attractive high stone wall, this exceptional house has been the subject of an extensive and imaginative programme of redevelopment and enlargement. The result is a beautifully appointed and highly individual home offering light filled, versatile accommodation ideally suited to modern living with a large and private garden.

Location
North Road is widely regarded as one of the Wells’ most desirable residential addresses, being conveniently placed for the city centre, schools and a wide range of amenities, whilst also offering easy access to the surrounding countryside, including the nearby Mendip Hills.

Accommodation
The generous accommodation is thoughtfully arranged, from the entrance hall the fabulous open plan living spaces which incorporate the kitchen, dining and sitting room with two sets of bifold doors all fitted with electric blinds as well as a useful additional study area – an impressive and sociable heart to the house. In addition, there is a further reception room offering a more formal sitting room to the front of the house. There is a downstairs cloakroom with loo and shower, a well planned utility room with a door to the outside and a generous larder cupboard.

On the first floor are four excellent double bedrooms (two enjoying views towards the Cathedral) together with two bathrooms. The main bedroom has excellent cupboards along with double doors opening onto a glass fronted Juliet balcony and a spacious ensuite bathroom with both bath and separate shower. This room is large enough to be divided to create a 5th bedroom if required.

The house extends to approximately 2,600 sq ft and is finished to a high standard throughout, with quality features including engineered oak and slate flooring, aluminium windows, oak internal joinery and aa well equipped contemporary kitchen with integrated appliances and central island. Heating is provided via gas fired central heating with zoned underfloor heating to the ground floor and bathrooms.

Outside
The property is approached via double timber gates opening into a substantial gravelled courtyard providing parking for numerous vehicles, together with a double garage offering further potential (subject to any necessary consents). To the south side lies a particularly attractive and private garden, enjoying a sunny aspect and extending to just over a quarter of an acre – quite rare for such a central position within Wells. The garden includes a terrace adjoining the house, ideal for outdoor entertaining together with lawned area, mature planting and a productive kitchen garden with raised beds and greenhouse and additional useful shed.

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.
Call us for information on any of these points
