Silver Street, Wells, BA5

DESCRIPTION

An attractive and deceptively spacious and characterful cottage, set on a quiet no through road, just a stone's throw from the Bishops Place, Wells Cathedral and High Street. The cottage is brimming with character features and comprises a spacious sitting room, dining room, kitchen, two double bedrooms, good sized bathroom and cottage style garden with stone workshop/studio. Offered to the market with NO ONWARD CHAIN.

Upon entering is an entrance hall with side window and glazed door opening to the sitting room. The sitting room is a good size and features a beamed ceiling, window to the front, shelved alcoves, wall lights, understairs store cupboard - ideal for coats and shoes, stairs to the first floor and a fireplace with brick  surround and open fire with cowl as a lovely focal point.  An internal window and glazed double doors open to the dining room and kitchen beyond. The dining room features a wood effect tiled floor, beamed ceiling, built-in cupboard, dado rail and ample space to accommodate a table to seat six people comfortably.  A step leads up to the kitchen with cream Shaker style cabinets, light coloured laminate worktops, one and a half bowl ceramic sink, ceramic hob, eye level electric oven and beamed ceiling.  Within the kitchen is space for a washing machine, slimline dishwasher, fridge freezer and additional furniture. In one corner is the wall mounted 'Vaillant' combi-boiler (fitted in 2024). Double doors open out to the decked patio and garden beyond.

From the sitting room stairs lead up to the galleried first floor landing with window to the rear.  To the front is a double bedroom with triple built-in wardrobes and a window looking out over the trees on the opposite side of the road. Adjacent is the bathroom which features a part vaulted ceiling, tongue and groove panelling, window to the rear and comprises a corner bath with taps and hand held shower spray, separate shower enclosure, WC and wash basin.  From the landing a door opens to a further staircase leading up to the second bedroom.  This charming bedroom, which is double in size, has a part vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, window to the front - with tree top aspect, and a loft hatch.  On one wall are two bespoke fitted pine wardrobes with bespoke pine drawers on either side.

OUTSIDE

The rear garden, which is accessed from the kitchen, has a decked area with space for outdoor seating.  A step leads up to a central paved path flanked with borders of cottage style planting, with mature shrubs and trees.  To the rear of the garden is a further seating area and a block, brick and stone outbuilding.  This useful space, currently used for garden storage, would make a great workshop or garden studio and was re-roofed in 2018.

Although there is no official parking with the property, on street parking is readily available on the other side of the street.
