First Floor Apartment in Wells-next-the-Sea

Set within the ever-popular Smugglers Cove development in Wells-next-the-Sea, this beautifully presented first-floor apartment offers an exceptional coastal lifestyle just moments from the heart of this charming harbour town.

Perfectly positioned within a quiet and tranquil, tucked-away enclave, the property enjoys a true sense of peace and privacy - an oasis away from the bustle, yet still within a very short stroll of East Quay and the vibrant quay front. Here, you can fully embrace the seaside atmosphere, independent shops, and renowned eateries that make Wells so special.

Occupying a desirable first-floor position, the apartment benefits from a particularly private setting, not overlooked and surrounded by mature trees on all sides. Its east-west orientation is another standout feature, affording superb, uninterrupted sunrises and sunsets - an often-overlooked luxury that brings a daily sense of calm and connection to the coastal surroundings.

Inside, the apartment is presented to an impeccable standard, offering a true turnkey opportunity for prospective buyers. The accommodation is thoughtfully arranged, featuring two generously sized double bedrooms, both served by a well-appointed family bathroom, complete with both bath and a contemporary quadrant shower. The welcoming reception room provides a superb sociable space, ideal for both relaxing and entertaining, with ample room for comfortable seating and a dining area.

The kitchen is equally impressive, offering plenty of workspace alongside a charming breakfast bar - perfect for casual dining or morning coffee. A delightful Juliet balcony enhances the space, inviting in natural light and enjoying pleasant views over the surrounding greenery and communal gardens.

A further advantage of the first-floor position is the inclusion of a loft hatch, providing valuable additional storage space. Residents also benefit from shared bike storage, ideal for making the most of the surrounding coastal paths and scenery.

Further benefits include two allocated parking spaces, a rare and valuable feature in such a sought-after coastal location.

Offered with no onward chain, this versatile property would make an outstanding second home or holiday let investment, while also serving as a wonderful and comfortable main residence for those seeking a permanent escape to the coast.
