The Vicarage was built in the Gothic revival style with local grey and red stone with Bath stone dressings in polychromatic design, a Welsh slate roof, stone chimney stacks, offset buttresses and stone mullioned and sash windows in quoined ashlar surrounds. The original Vicarage was later divided into two, The Old Vicarage and the other known as East Vicarage.

Location
St. Andrew Street lies immediately on the north east side of the Cathedral and joins St Thomas Street which runs eastwards. It's within a conservation area and is one of the oldest residential areas in Wells and as one would expect comprises mainly period properties all benefitting from being within a short walk of the Cathedral and Market Place.
Old Vicarage Cottage lies just beyond St Thomas Church in a quiet cul de sac of just a handful of properties.

Property information from this agent
About this agent
About Us Roderick Thomas is an entirely independent firm with decade of experience selling and letting residential property. The firm has offices in Bristol (Clifton), Wells, Wedmore and Castle Cary and with its networked associate office in London covers a wide geographical area. The focus is to deliver a high level of service to clients to achieve the best sale or rental possible within a set timescale. The importance of wide spread advertising and effective marketing is recognised and with each property an individual campaign is planned. Having attracted buyers the next stage is negotiation and the firm prides itself on securing an agreement on the best terms and then progressing the sale to completion. Ongoing discussion with all parties including solicitors ensures an agreed timetable is maintained and hitches are anticipated when possible and addressed with action taken if necessary. Focusing fully on sales and letting and not being burdened with “head office” costs Roderick Thomas is able to offer highly competitive commission rates on all agency terms. These include: Sales SOLE AGENCY – one agent is instructed to sell a property and commission is paid to the agent on completion of the sale. JOINT AGENCY – two (occasionally more) agents are instructed. They work in conjunction and share the commission on completion. The rate is usually higher than the sole agency. MULTI AGENCY – two (or occasionally more) agents are instructed. They work in competition and only the agent who sells receives a commission on completion. Again this is usually at a higher rate then sole agency (but not always). All prospective sellers are invited to contact Roderick Thomas to discuss the sale of any property.

This includes finding tenants and agreeing terms and this can be extended to include rent collection and full management if required. Each case is assessed individually to suit a clients needs.
