Lovely one bedroom flat centrally located in Wells

Situated on the ever-popular St. Thomas Street, and a short walk from the centre of the small cathedral city of Wells. Flat 2, within no.74, provides a wonderful opportunity for a range of buyers. Visitors enter through a bright pink front door into the entrance hall which is shared with one other flat. From here steps lead up to the front door and once inside, this lovely flat provides an oasis of light and calm with rooms that have an effective and unified aesthetic. Double glazed throughout the flat is quiet and peaceful. Off to the right, the kitchen is stylish and practical with a dining table placed in the window, where underneath on the pavement, the people of St. Thomas Street go about their lives. The kitchen provides a perfect balance of cabinets and open wall shelving using materials that tone together perfectly. Terracotta square tiles and vertical white tiles combine to create a stylish splash back and the on-trend plywood kitchen has an integrated under counter oven and hob. There is bar stool seating at the Island unit or table by the window and plenty of room for a retro floor standing fridge/freezer. A traditional wooden beam whispers of the age of the property and balances well with the contemporary style. Upstairs a lovely double aspect sitting room has far reaching views over Tor woods at the rear and the charming roof tops of St. Thomas Street to the front. This room is light and pleasant and could be furnished with a sofa bed for occasional guests. There is loft access with the potential, subject to consents, to extend the living space into this area. To the left of the entrance there is a shower room with a super powered electric radiator where different styled tiles within the same colour palette have been used to great effect to create texture and interest. The double bedroom has extensive fitted wardrobes and lovely far-reaching views. We highly recommend early viewing as a flat such as this is a rare find in the centre of Wells.


Situation
Wells is the smallest Cathedral city in England with much to offer those with an eye for culture and style plus those who enjoy eating out. The number of independent shops and cafes are on the rise with the area around St. Cuthbert’s street developing a reputation as an Artisan quarter. Sage and Bumble is a family run lifestyle and gift shop specialising in personalised Handmade gifts, providing a niche shopping experience with the independent Strangers with Coffee just across the road offering speciality coffee (currently operating out of The Sheep and Penguin while building renovation works are carried out). Loaf is tucked away in a secret courtyard round the corner and provides a family owned and family friendly café and social space with the understated Good Earth on down Priory Road. Offering delicious wholesome lunches in its restaurant, take a look in the Good Earths health food store and homewares shop before you go. Root on Sadler Street provides a modern veg led sharing plates restaurant, sister of Root Bristol and newly opened Bath. Positioned on St. Thomas Street itself Goodfellows@7B is open for lunch and dinner on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays with a takeaway lunch available on Sundays plus cookery demonstrations and courses available to book. 

There is a twice weekly award-winning market offering good local produce, delicious fresh fish, meat products and a variety of street food. There is a choice of supermarkets including Waitrose, Tesco, Morrisons and Lidl. At the very heart of the city is the stunning mediaeval Cathedral with its Chapter House and adjacent Vicars’ Close: the oldest street of houses in Europe still used for the purpose for which they were built. The Bishop of Bath & Wells still lives in the adjacent Bishop’s Palace, the finest of its type in England with its spectacular moat and gardens. The Market Place offers a superb cafe culture when the weather is fine, with tables and chairs set out amongst the fabulous architecture and historic buildings. The cities of Bath and Bristol are within commuting distance and there is a main line railway station at Castle Cary (13 miles away) with direct links to London Paddington, journey time 1hr 40 mins. Street and Glastonbury are 20 minutes away and Bristol airport is an easy 30-minute drive.
