Description

Property Description: Guide Price: £700,000 - £750,000. A handsome and elegantly proportioned Grade II listed home, dating from circa 1850, positioned in the very heart of Wells, just moments from the High Street, the Cathedral and the Bishop’s Palace. This fine detached residence has a rare balance of period grandeur and city centre living.

Set behind its classical façade, the property unfolds over three floors, revealing beautifully balanced accommodation rich in original character. The entrance hall immediately sets the tone, with its timber flooring, ornate staircase and refined detailing. Beyond, a graceful arch opens into a charming library and study area, thoughtfully fitted with bookcases and ideal for quiet retreat or home working.

The principal reception rooms are generously scaled and beautifully appointed. The sitting room has a pair of sash windows with original shutters, complemented by decorative cornicing, a ceiling rose and a striking fireplace with marble insert. The formal dining room, equally elegant, centres around an Adams-style fireplace and has delightful views across the courtyard and garden beyond - perfect for entertaining on a grand or intimate scale.

To the rear, the kitchen/breakfast room forms the heart of the home. Naturally divided, it provides a sociable dining space alongside a well equipped kitchen with solid wood worktops and integrated appliances, all overlooking the private courtyard.

The upper floors continue to impress. The first floor has three bedrooms, including a particularly fine principal bedroom with high ceilings and sash windows. A family bathroom features both a roll-top bath and walk-in shower. The second floor has two further bedrooms with vaulted ceilings and far reaching views towards the Mendip Hills, alongside an additional cloakroom.

Outside: The enclosed, walled garden is something of a hidden sanctuary in the centre of the city. A paved courtyard leads to a lawned garden framed by high stone walls, mature planting and fruit trees, creating a peaceful and secluded setting. An attached stone outbuilding has useful storage with potential for further utility use.

While the property does not include private parking, there are convenient public parking options available nearby.

Available with no onward chain, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a distinguished period home in one of Somerset’s most sought after Cathedral cities.

Location: The property is within walking distance of Wells High Street, the bustling Market Place and the Cathedral. This historic city 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 C of E 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. Bristol International Airport is less than 30 minutes away by car and Castle Cary Mainline station (12 miles) provides excellent rail links to London Paddington.
