Key information
Property description & features
- Tenure: Freehold
Greengates is a detached 3 bedroom, 3 reception room property situated on the edge of Wells-next-the-Sea with the rare benefit of elevated views across the rooftops of the town and out to the sea in the distance. Few period properties in the town are lucky enough to combine spacious accommodation, attractive west facing gardens with garaging and driveway parking with plenty of room for boat and caravan storage etc and, of course, the views.
There is spacious accommodation to the ground floor comprising a dining hall, kitchen, sitting room and snug with a side hallway leading to a utility room, bathroom and shower. Upstairs, bedroom 1 has an en suite shower room and fine views towards the sea, bedroom 2 has a its own cloakroom and there is also a third double bedroom.
The west facing gardens are a particular feature of Greengates having been landscaped and well maintained by the current owners with driveway parking for up to 4 cars, a garage and boat store.
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.
