Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold

Lavender Cottage is an attractive Grade II Listed period terrace cottage, situated in a Conservation Area close to the centre of the seaside town of Wells-next-the-Sea. The property has been a much loved holiday home for the current owners and a successful holiday let. The property benefits from gas-fired central heating and some period features including sash windows, fireplaces, pine floorboards, latch doors and exposed beams.

There is well laid out and surprisingly spacious accommodation briefly comprising a kitchen/dining room, sitting room, inner hallway, cloakroom with 2 bedrooms upstairs and a shower room. Outside, there is a small courtyard patio area with scope to create a parking space if required.

Lavender Cottage is being offered for sale with no onward chain and, with the town's shopping centre being just a short walk away, this is an ideal property for those buyers looking for a character permanent residence close to amenities or a second home with holiday lettings potential. The furniture, fixtures and fittings are available by separate negotiation.



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.



Mains water, mains drainage and mains electricity. Gas-fired central heating to radiators. EPC Rating Band n/a (exempt as Grade II Listed).
