Wells-next-the-Sea, Norfolk

SUMMARY
Offered for sale with no onward chain, Hillside has remained in the same ownership since 1982 and now presents an opportunity to acquire a semi-detached cottage occupying grounds extending to approximately 0.4 acre (STMS).

The property requires renovation throughout and offers scope for extension and/or development of the garden, subject to necessary consents. The sale may include an Option Agreement, allowing the purchaser a right to acquire Millside - aka Glowen-Ower (an adjacent property), for £375,000, within one year of completing the purchase of Hillside. Millside is a bungalow of non-standard construction, occupying a plot that measures approximately 0.2 acre (STMS), situated to the rear of Hillside and accessed from Maryland, edged red on the attached plan. Alternatively, both properties are available to purchase simultaneously.
 

GROUND FLOOR
An entrance lobby leads to the sitting room and dining room, both of which overlook the front garden, as the property is set-back from the road. The sitting room features an open fireplace and exposed beam, whilst the dining room benefits from a woodburning stove. An inner hall with stairs to the first floor incorporates a boiler room/store and gives stepped access down to the kitchen, which is compact yet practical and has access to both the front & rear gardens. Externally, at this level a store and W.C. adjoin the property.
 

FIRST FLOOR
The first-floor landing provides access to three bedrooms, together with the family bathroom. The accommodation offers a straightforward layout with the opportunity for a purchaser to reconfigure and modernise the property to suit their own requirements.
 

OUTSIDE
The gardens are established with mature trees, shrubs and areas of lawn, providing a substantial plot with considerable scope for development, subject to obtaining necessary consents.
 

TOTAL OFFERING
Hillside represents the rare chance to acquire a brick & flint cottage, on a plot of about 0.4 of an acre (STMS), close to the Town Centre.

The property offers significant long-term potential; whether restored to meet modern requirements, extended or to be included within a wider development proposal (subject to consents). The Option Agreement to acquire Millside provide future flexibility, allowing a purchaser to secure control of the adjoining site, without the need to purchase both at the same time, whilst purchasers wishing to acquire both properties together may also do so.
 

LOCATION
Wells-next-the-Sea is one of the loveliest towns on the North Norfolk Coast. Once a busy commercial port and manufacturing town between the 16th and 20th century and now a popular seaside resort for holidaymakers. Almost the entire 50 mile stretch of coastline from Snettisham in the west to Mundesley in the east is designated as an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Wells is a perfectly located base from which to explore this.
 
From the sweeping sandy beach, bordered by pinewoods and colourful beach huts, to the bustling harbour, where you'll find children crabbing on the quay, opposite the finest fish and chips on the coast, to the pretty leafy green known as 'The Buttlands' with its warm & welcoming taverns - Wells is the perfect, family friendly seaside destination.
 
There are plenty of amenities including schools, a doctor's surgery, dentist, library, food stores, pubs and restaurants, as well as interesting independent boutiques and galleries. The Maltings is a venue for art, theatre and cinema and the vibrant community organises year-round events to help keep this seaside town one of the most desirable places to live in Norfolk.
