Restored Grade II Idyllic Cottage in Wells-next-the-Sea

Tucked away in the heart of sought-after Wells-next-the-Sea, 8 Chapel Yard is a beautifully presented end-of-terrace cottage that has been thoughtfully refurbished to create a stylish and comfortable coastal retreat. Perfectly blending character with contemporary living, this charming one-bedroom home is ideal as a permanent residence, weekend escape, or holiday investment, and has also proven to be a successful holiday let.

The property welcomes you into a light and inviting sitting room, offering a cosy yet airy space to relax and unwind. To the rear, the fully modernised kitchen has been cleverly designed with both practicality and style in mind, complete with space for a small dining table and a rear door leading out to the alleyway behind.

Outside, the delightful front patio provides the perfect spot for morning coffee or evening drinks, with space for table and chairs to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. While there is no allocated off-street parking, Chapel Yard tends to offer convenient resident parking directly outside the respective properties.

Upstairs, the current owner has thoughtfully reconfigured the layout to create a generously sized double bedroom alongside a beautifully appointed modern bathroom, a rare and highly desirable feature for cottages of this style, where bathrooms are often located downstairs. Whilst the former single bedroom has been removed, the result is a far more spacious and luxurious first-floor arrangement, enhancing both comfort and usability.

Beautifully finished throughout and ready to move straight into, 8 Chapel Yard offers an exceptional opportunity to enjoy relaxed coastal living just moments from the quay, beach, and independent shops and eateries that make Wells-next-the-Sea such a special place.
