Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
Mendip View is an attractive detached cottage located in an elevated, rural position and only a short drive away from the centre of Wells. As the name suggests, this charming property enjoys stunning countryside views, including the Mendips. Thought to date back to the late 1800's, there are also plenty of original features throughout. Mendip View will also be suited to investors looking for a reliable income from a holiday let. The ground floor accommodation includes a lounge, dining room, kitchen and a bathroom. The open staircase leads to the first floor and the spacious dual aspect bedroom enjoying the wonderful views. At the top of the staircase there is a large galleried area which could easily be partitioned off to become a second bedroom. Outside, there are two garden areas, one of each side of the property. Both are mainly laid to lawn with plenty of established shrubs and planted borders. There is also a detached stone built outbuilding with a carport on the side.

Places of interest

    Charles Barnard Estate Agents is a local firm specialising in residential sales. We sell all types of residential property, from flats to substantial homes with land. We will even manage an auction for you if the property warrants it. We embrace modern technology, including professional standards in photography, including drone images when appropriate. Floor plans, bespoke brochures and the use of advanced estate agency software. Everything is included at no extra cost within the service we offer, and this is a ‘NO SALE NO FEE’ service. We are committed to high levels of customer service, and the traditional values you will expect of a well-established firm of estate agents. We do not ‘rely’ on computers or technology, and unlike many other estate agents, we see the value in keeping in regular contact with buyers to ensure they are properly introduced to every property which may suit their needs. Old fashioned matching people to property. In this way, we are proud to be different. We realise how important communication is, not only when looking for the right buyer for your home, but once a sale has been agreed. Too often estate agents forget how important this is. Your solicitor will be working hard to ensure you are covered legally, whilst we are busy chasing everyone throughout the chain to find a way to help the sale get across the line as quickly and as painlessly as possible. Being a local firm, we are able to offer a personal service, tailor-made to meet the specific needs of each client. Unlike many estate agents, our budgets or methods are not restricted in any way. We are able to adapt our marketing and advertising to suit a particular property and the buyers it should attract. We would be delighted to hear from anyone wishing to discuss their moving plans, even in the very early stages, where you may just need friendly advice relating to a sale or purchase. Homeowners may be considering your finances and need a free no obligation valuation for your current home. Buyers may want to chat through the benefits of the local area with our experienced staff. Whatever your needs may be, we will do our best to provide you with the assistance and guidance you need.
