2 bedroom apartment

69 Freeman Street is a Grade II Listed first floor apartment with its own walled garden and a parking space located just a short walk from the Quay at Wells-next-the-Sea.  The property is bright and airy with majority timber sash windows, oak veneer internal doors, some with bevelled glass, chrome door furniture with a well designed layout and high quality fittings. The apartment is decorated and carpeted throughout in neutral tones with laminate flooring to the kitchen area in the spacious open plan kitchen/dining/living room.  There are 2 double bedrooms, a well appointed bathroom and cloakroom with gas-fired central heating to radiators.

Outside, the partly walled garden is west facing comprising a lawn and attractive flagstones laid in the patio area and there is also the rare added benefit of a parking space.  Because of its close proximity to the Quay and all of the town's amenities, this apartment would make an ideal compact permanent home or, as its current use, a second home with holiday lettings potential.

The property is being sold leasehold on a 999 year lease from 29th July 1983 at a Peppercorn Rent. A copy of the lease is held at Belton Duffey's Wells-next-the-Sea office - please ask for more information.  The parking space is freehold.

Wells-next-the-Sea has been a fishing and commercial port for nearly 600 years which still supports a thriving fishing fleet bringing in crabs, lobsters, mussels and whelks sold locally on the quayside and in nearby restaurants. With a growing number of leisure craft moorings, a lively, sociable sailing club, harbour and sea fishing trips, the town caters for every type of water activity including “gillying” -crabbing on the quayside. Situated a mile from the Quay, the stunning extensive sandy beach is ranked as one of the top 10 in the country by Telegraph Travel. Against a backdrop of Corsican pinewoods, the beach is home to the much publicised, iconic colourful beach huts, available to buy or rent daily.

From the top of town down to the Quay, Staithe Street provides visitors and locals with a wide variety of shops, cafes, galleries and food stores. For entertainment, the newly opened Wells Maltings offers live entertainment and exhibitions, whilst alongside the Quay, are all the usual popular traditional seaside attractions. After 3 years of restoration, the Quay also sees the welcome return of The Albatros (a former Dutch cargo ship) which is permanently moored and will reopen soon offering its own unique forms of hospitability. Locals agree with The Times in March 2021 who voted Wells as one of the best places to live. Alongside coastal scenery, wildlife and water sports, the town has a primary and secondary school – both rated Good by Ofsted - as well as a library, doctor’s surgery and hospital providing a range of accessible and integrated health and well being services.
