Description

Property Description: Guide Price: £350,000 to £400,000. Tucked away yet in the heart of the city of Wells and a stones throw from Wells high street, this quite exceptional Grade II listed townhouse forms part of a beautifully renovated 17th century property. Full of character and charm, with original period features seamlessly blended with stylish modern finishes, this is a home that feels both special and practical. With the rare benefit of private parking and a peaceful shared courtyard, it offers the very best of city living with a sense of calm retreat.

Step inside and the sense of history is immediate. The dining hall sets the tone, with its flagstone floor, half-panelled walls, and exposed stone - a welcoming space perfect for a dining table or a cosy reading nook.

The sitting room is equally inviting, with engineered oak flooring and French doors opening directly onto the courtyard. An original painted dresser hints at the property's past, when this was the kitchen of the main house, complete with old bread ovens. There’s scope here for a wood-burning stove, which would only add to the atmosphere.

The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed, with a high-quality finish that makes everyday life a pleasure - granite worktops, an underslung sink, and Bosch appliances all neatly integrated. A traditional style WC with high-level cistern and pull chain completes the ground floor, a nod to the home’s heritage.

Upstairs, two light-filled bedrooms each have dual aspects over the courtyard, creating bright and restful spaces. The principal bedroom features a deep bay window with original cupboard and a beautifully appointed en-suite bathroom, complete with travertine tiling and vintage-style vanity unit. The second bedroom offers excellent storage, including a walk-in cupboard with plumbing for a washing machine, and has its own smart en-suite shower room.

There is also a loft space, providing potential for future extension, subject to consents.

Outside: Although set in the very heart of Wells, the shared courtyard feels wonderfully private, enclosed by high walls and offers the perfect spot for a bistro table and morning coffee. To have allocated parking here is a real luxury, making life in the city as convenient as it is enjoyable.

This is a home that balances history with modern living. Step outside your door and you’re only moments from the bustling high street, independent shops, weekly markets, and the magnificent Wells Cathedral. Yet within, you have a calm, characterful retreat - a place that feels removed from the bustle, where you can truly unwind.

Location: A stones throw from Wells high street and the bustling market place this property is conveniently located in the heart of this historic and beautiful city. The town provides a range of local amenities with four supermarkets (Waitrose being the closest), a cinema, leisure centre, numerous coffee shops, pubs and restaurants to choose from, several dentists and doctors, some fabulous independent shops and even some art shops for those seeking something a little different. There are also famous historical landmarks such as the Cathedral and Bishop's Palace, as well as the popular twice weekly produce market and Cedars Hall offering a range of cultural events throughout the year. There are excellent state schools in the vicinity, including Stoberry Park School, St Cuthbert's CofE Junior School, St Joseph and St Teresa Catholic Primary School and The Blue School as well as independent schools including Wells Cathedral School on your doorstep. The towns of Glastonbury, Street and Shepton Mallet are all close by and the Cities of Bath and Bristol are within easy reach both by car and by public transport.
