A delightful period cottage presented in superb order throughout with three double bedrooms, plenty of original and bespoke features and a garden. Wonderful, quiet and hidden location right in the heart of the city.
About the property
This beautifully presented period cottage is in a hidden location within the conservation area of central Wells and within a short, level walk from the High Street. The property has plenty of original features which combine with bespoke quality touches that have been thoughtfully added during the extensive renovation process that give the cottage a welcoming feel throughout. The renovation process has been carried out over a number of years with care and consideration to the external and internal additions that include new bespoke windows to the front, reclaimed cast iron radiators and antique French washstands with modern plumbing in the bathrooms.
About the inside
The accommodation is comfortable with plenty of space. The front door opens into the well appointed kitchen with bespoke French oak cabinets complimented with granite work surfacing, a granite 'farmhouse style' sink, integrated fridge and freezer and stone flooring. A walk-in larder with automatic lighting gives a useful cold space for food storage. From the kitchen a door leads to the comfortable sitting room with solid oak flooring, a Victorian cast iron and tiled fireplace and surround with an inset wood burner. This generous room has a large area at the other end for dining where there is further fireplace with reclaimed Glastonbury bricks set within the hearth.
.
Double doors from the sitting room lead to a useful utility room with a recently fitted gas central heating boiler and a further door leads to a shower room with a wc, hand basin and a corner shower cubicle.On the first floor is a double bedroom with exposed floor boards, reclaimed radiator and exposed wooden lintel over the window. The bathroom is beautifully fitted with a painted French washstand with a marble top, washbasin, period style wc and a bath.

On the second floor the stairs lead to a large open room that is currently being used as an office with a sofa bed for occasional guest use. There is a further double bedroom with exposed floor boards and a reclaimed radiator.On the third floor the former attic space is now a large bedroom with exposed beams painted white and roof lights that have lovely views across the city rooftops to the cathedral.
