Description

FIG TREE COTTAGE, 38 NORTH ROAD
WELLS BA5 2TL

A delightful 2 bedroom character cottage with plenty of period charm, a generous south-facing garden and useful outbuildings including a workshop and garden room currently used as an office, all set within an easy ten-minute stroll of Wells Cathedral.

Guide Price £350,000

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 front door opens into a welcoming sitting room, a well-proportioned and comfortable space where a wood-burning stove forms an attractive focal point. There is useful storage beneath the stairs and a lovely outlook over the garden, lending the room a light and tranquil feel. A staircase rises neatly through the centre of the house, subtly dividing the living space from the adjoining kitchen and dining area.
The kitchen/dining room is fitted with a range of units and includes a double electric oven, gas hob and integrated dishwasher. With views across the garden and ample room for a dining table. From the main living area, doors open directly onto the patio and the gardens beyond, creating an easy flow between house and garden.
Upstairs on the first floor is the principal bedroom with views of the garden. The bathroom is particularly generous in size and beautifully appointed with a roll-top freestanding bath, separate shower, WC, wash basin, heated towel rail and an original fireplace that adds further character.
The second double bedroom occupies the entire second floor and runs the full width of the house. Rich in character, it features exposed beams, dormer windows and views stretching towards Tor Woods. The room also benefits from its own ensuite with WC and wash basin.

Outside
The delightful gardens have been lovingly cared for over many years, enjoying a wonderfully peaceful, south-facing aspect that captures the sun throughout the day. Immediately outside the cottage lies a paved patio terrace, an ideal setting for outdoor furniture and perfectly suited to al fresco dining and entertaining.

The garden has mature planting, including established shrubs, climbing roses and interspersed with well-stocked flower beds that provide colour and interest through the seasons. A winding pathway gently leads through the planting to a lawned area.

A substantial stone-built outbuilding sits within the garden and benefits from both light and power, offering excellent potential as a workshop, studio, or useful storage space. Attached to the building is a traditional gardener’s loo.

At the far end of the garden stands a delightful summerhouse, also equipped with power and light. With doors opening out onto the garden, this versatile space lends itself equally well to use as a home office, creative studio or simply a quiet retreat from which to enjoy the surrounding greenery.

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.
