4 bedroom bungalow

A spacious four bedroom detached chalet bungalow, desirably situated within one of Wells’ most favoured residential areas. Requiring some updating, this finely proportioned property benefits from a garden, parking and an integral garage. Superb views of Wells Cathedral and Glastonbury Tor can be enjoyed from the first floor. No onward chain. EPC rating E.


A door to the front of the property opens into a double glazed entrance porch. An inner door then continues through into an L-shaped hall which gives access to the majority of the accommodation and includes a built-in airing cupboard housing the hot water cylinder.

The sitting/dining room is generous in size and located at the back of the bungalow, with a double glazed bay window looking out to the garden plus a single external door.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of matching floor and wall units and offers space for a freestanding fridge, freezer and cooker. Incorporated within the kitchen is a staircase to the first floor and a door to the side, opening into the adjoining utility room. A useful room, the utility provides space and plumbing for a washing machine, and includes a Belfast sink unit, access to a WC and the garage, as well as a further external door to the rear garden.

There are three bedrooms on the ground floor; two doubles and a single (two of which benefit from built-in double wardrobes).

Completing the ground floor accommodation is the bathroom, currently fitted with a low level WC, a pedestal wash hand basin, an accessible bath with an electric seat and shower over, plus a shaver point and a double glazed frosted window.

On the first floor is a landing area with a skylight window to the rear and access into the eaves for additional storage. A door then leads through to a further double bedroom, which has three skylight windows and the most wonderful views, taking in Wells Cathedral, Glastonbury Tor and St. Cuthberts Church. At the far end of the bedroom is access into an attic space, providing a large area of easily accessible storage. This useful space also offers considerable potential to be converted into a spacious en-suite bathroom or dressing room.

OUTSIDE
To the front of the bungalow is a section of garden laid to lawn. Alongside, a block-paved driveway provides off-road parking for several vehicles and leads to an integral garage with an ‘up and over’ door. The garage houses the boiler for the oil-fired central heating and includes a personal door to the rear opening into the utility room.

Gated access to one side of the bungalow then leads through to the rear garden, which is enclosed to all sides. Predominantly laid to lawn with some established shrubs and planting, the garden includes a timber storage shed, a screened oil tank for the central heating and enjoys pleasant views across Wells and beyond.

The City of Wells is renowned for its beautiful architecture, including the Cathedral and the Bishop’s Palace. England’s smallest city, Wells contains many clubs and societies for those wishing to get involved in the thriving local community. There are excellent shopping facilities, a bustling High Street with both independent and well-known retailers, as well as various major supermarkets, including Waitrose.

Wells also benefits from a busy, twice-weekly produce market in the Market Square. Bristol and Bath are readily accessible, as is Castle Cary to the south which has the nearest mainline train station to London Paddington.

There is excellent schooling locally, both state and independent. The property is conveniently located within easy travelling distance of a number of local primary schools, as well as Wells Blue School (secondary).
