Chapel Yard, Wells-next-the-Sea, NR23

4–6 Chapel Yard is a charming mid terrace period cottage, constructed of limewashed brick beneath a pantiled roof.  It forms part of a row of seven Grade II Listed cottages and is believed to date from the early 19th century.  Tucked away in a quiet yard, the property nevertheless enjoys a highly convenient location just a short stroll from the Quay and the centre of the popular seaside town of Wells-next-the-Sea.

The spacious, extended ground floor accommodation comprises an entrance porch, a kitchen with a separate dining room, a cosy sitting room with a wood burning stove and a ground floor bathroom.  Upstairs, the landing leads to two bedrooms and a WC.  The property further benefits from gas-fired central heating, exposed brick and chalk walls and ceiling beams with sash windows to the front elevation.

Outside, the cottage has a paved frontage providing space for a bistro table and chairs, while to the rear there is a small, low-walled courtyard.  Unusually for a property so close to the town centre, it also benefits from a garage and a parking space - both highly sought after in this location.

Offered for sale with no onward chain, 4–6 Chapel Yard is ideally suited as a characterful permanent residence close to amenities or as a second home with potential for holiday lettings.  The town’s shops and facilities are just a short walk away.  Furniture, fixtures and fittings are available by separate negotiation.

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 n/a (exempt as Grade II Listed).
