House For Sale £800,000
A generous detached house with flexible accommodation in an excellent residential area close to the city centre. Four/Five bedrooms, three bathrooms. Enclosed landscaped garden and driveway parking.
Description
Built in the 1920’s, Number 73 is a charming home. The house has been extended over the years and now offers generous, flexible and comfortable living with practical gas fired central heating and double glazing.
The house has a southerly aspect which floods the main living areas with plenty of natural light and the south facing first floor bedrooms enjoy wonderful views across the city to Wells Cathedral, St. Cuthbert’s Church and Glastonbury Tor in the distance.
The flexible accommodation gives the option of a ground floor bedroom with en suite shower room.
Accommodation
The front door opens into an entrance porch with a further door opening into a hallway with the staircase and understairs storage cupboard. The impressive sitting room has bi-fold doors that open directly onto the terrace in the garden. This lovely light room has original large arched alcoves and a fireplace. The kitchen and dining room is open plan. The kitchen has a range of wood cupboards with a gas fired Aga, double sink and drainer, space for a dishwasher and a terracotta tiled floor. The dining area has a stripped wood floor and a bay window that overlooks the garden. A door from the kitchen opens to an inner hallway with doors off to a utility / store room, a cloak room and a further door that opens to the garden.
To the left of the main hallway is a second sitting room / bedroom five with an en suite shower room. This room has French doors that open to the front of the house and offer level and easy access.
First Floor
On the first floor the landing has a large airing cupboard with a hot water cylinder and plenty of shelving for storage.
The master bedroom suite is a generous size with wonderful views across the city to the Cathedral, St. Cuthbert’s Church, to the countryside beyond and Glastonbury Tor. Off the bedroom is a dressing room fitted with wardrobes and storage. Beyond this is the en suite bathroom. This room has a contemporary feel with black quartz flooring, curved bath, shower cubicle, hand basin and wc. There are three other bedrooms and one with a lovely bay window that frames the same superb view as the master bedroom. It is worth noting that there is planning permission to create an en suite bathroom for this bedroom over the adjacent ground floor flat roof area. The family bathroom has a shower cubicle, bath, hand basin, wc and towel rail.
Outside
At the front of the house a driveway gives parking for two cars, whilst the adjacent enclosed garden area is laid to lawn with a path leading to timber lockable storage buildings with ‘green’ roofs planted with sedum. These useful buildings are perfect for storing bikes, gardening equipment etc.
*
The path leads around the side of the house, through a full height gate and into the rear garden. This enclosed space is south facing and has been beautifully landscaped with a superb terrace running the length of the house that steps down onto a lawn with lovely flower borders that have been planted a good range of shrubs and herbaceous plants. Low steps lead down to a further paved seating and dining area, westerly facing, this spot takes advantage of the late summer evening sun. A summer house, designed to sit in a corner position, gives a useful garden building with light and power. The garden has an outside tap and electrical socket.
Situation
Ash Lane is a desirable residential area within a short walk of the city centre, magnificent Wells Cathedral, Market Place and local schools.
Wells is the smallest city in England and offers a range of shopping facilities including a high proportion of independent shops and boutiques, banks, restaurants, public houses, cinema and churches. The superb Market Square holds a popular farmer’s market on Wednesday and Saturday.
**
