Wells, Somerset

About the Property:
Combining generous proportions with an abundance of original features, this attractive Victorian home offers versatile accommodation arranged over two floors. Freshly decorated and well presented throughout, the property comprises three reception rooms, a fitted kitchen, four bedrooms and two bathrooms, with the added benefit of a separate WC.
While ready to enjoy as it stands, the house also presents an excellent opportunity for a purchaser to personalise and reconfigure the accommodation to suit their own requirements, subject to any necessary planning permission and consents.
About The Inside:
The property opens into an entrance porch, where original tiled walls set the tone for the period character found throughout. From here, a light and spacious hallway leads to the principal reception rooms.
The main sitting room is particularly inviting, with high ceilings, coving and a large square bay window that floods the space with natural light. The adjoining living room offers further comfortable reception space, with provision for a wood-burning stove and double doors opening directly onto the rear garden.
The dining room retains its original quarry-tiled flooring and features a large fireplace, creating a charming setting for family meals and entertaining. This flows through to the fitted kitchen, with both rooms enjoying large sash windows to the side. A ground-floor bathroom and a door providing access to the garden complete the accommodation on this level.
Upstairs, the landing leads to three generous double bedrooms and a well-proportioned single bedroom, ideally suited to use as a study, nursery or dressing room. The bedrooms are served by a family bathroom and a separate WC.
About The Outside:
To the front, a low stone wall encloses a low-maintenance garden, alongside off-street parking for two vehicles - a valuable advantage so close to the city centre.
The enclosed rear garden offers a pleasant combination of paved patio and gravelled areas, bordered by mature shrubs and trees to provide greenery and a sense of privacy. A pedestrian side gate offers convenient access, while a stone-built outbuilding provides useful storage and may offer scope for alternative uses or integration into the main house, subject to the necessary consents.
With its generous accommodation, attractive period details and scope to make further improvements, this appealing Victorian home offers a wonderful opportunity to create a long-term home in the historic city of Wells
