Cottage in Central Wells

A rare chance to acquire a charming Grade II listed cottage in the very heart of Wells. Offering three bedrooms, a private rear garden with picturesque views towards the church, and a useful outbuilding, the property is available with no onward chain and presents an exciting opportunity for enhancement.

About the property:

Dating from the early 19th Century, this attractive terraced cottage sits opposite St Cuthbert’s church. The well-proportioned accommodation is arranged over three floors, comprising a sitting room, kitchen and bathroom on the ground floor, with three double bedrooms across the first and second floor. While the property would benefit from modernisation, it offers excellent potential to create a characterful and bespoke home in a prime city location.

About the inside:

An entrance porch leads into a spacious sitting room featuring a quarry tiled floor, wood burning stove, and a large front-facing window. To the rear, the kitchen is fitted with a range of units and provides space for an electric oven. An inner hall gives access to the garden and a ground floor bathroom. Upstairs, two generously sized double bedrooms on the first floor enjoy original wooden floorboards and pleasant outlooks to the front and rear. The top floor hosts a spacious attic room with built in shelving and attractive views towards the church.

About the outside:

The property benefits from a useful outbuilding, offering potential for integration into the main house (subject to the necessary consents). The enclosed rear garden is mainly laid to lawn, and enjoys elevated views across the rooftops towards the church, creating a peaceful and appealing outdoor space.

About the area:

Located in the heart of Wells, England’s smallest city, Wells is celebrated for its historic character and strong sense of community. At its centre are the striking Wells Cathedral and the beautiful Bishop's Palace, both key landmarks that define the city.

Wells offers a range of independent shops, cafés, and a regular market, while Vicars' Close adds to its unique charm. Surrounded by the scenic Mendip Hills, the city provides excellent access to countryside walks, yet remains within easy reach of Bath and Bristol.

Well regarded for its schooling, including Wells Cathedral School, Wells continues to be a highly desirable location.
