Southover, Wells, BA5

DESCRIPTION

Situated in the heart of the city, just moments from the High Street is this deceptively spacious two bedroom cottage. The current owners have enhanced the property including windows, kitchen and  bathroom. The property offers versatile accommodation and is well-presented throughout. Offered to the market with NO ONWARD CHAIN.

Upon entering the property is an 'L' shaped office.  This versatile space, formerly the kitchen, features two windows to the front, exposed stone fireplace, wood effect laminate floor, built-in cupboard and newly fitted 'Worcester' combi-boiler (2026).  To the rear of the room is a kitchenette with one and a half bowl sink and a door to the side passage. Adjacent to the kitchenette is a cloakroom with WC and wash hand basin. 

From the office area a door opens to an inner lobby with a further cloakroom, again with WC and wash hand basin.  From the lobby stairs, with motion sensor lighting, lead up to the first floor where there is a sitting room and kitchen/diner. The sitting room features exposed beams, shelved alcove, window to the front with window seat and bespoke plantation style blinds.  There is ample space for comfortable furniture and an oak fireplace, with electric fire currently in situ, makes a lovely focal point.  Adjacent is the dual aspect kitchen/dining room with exposed beams, a range of white country style cabinets, one and a half bowl stainless steel sink and integrated appliances including Neff eye level oven, five burner gas hob, extractor fan, dishwasher and fridge freezer, along with space and plumbing for a washing machine.  The dining area offers space for a table to seat four to six people, with a window to the front, again with bespoke plantation style blinds.

From the sitting room, stairs with roof window above, lead up to the second floor with two double bedrooms and the well-appointed family bathroom. The principal bedroom, with front aspect and plantation style blinds, features exposed beam, bedside wall lights and  fitted wardrobes and drawers - one having a dressing table inside. The second bedroom, again with front aspect and bespoke blinds, features fitted bedroom furniture.  The family bathroom is fully tiled and comprises; hidden cistern WC, vanity wash basin, further storage, wall mounted TV, bath with smoked mirror behind and thermostatic shower above (this can be used with remote control, with custom settings).
