This detached three-bedroom house on Walnut Tree Close offers practical family living with scope to personalise. The sitting room, conservatory and generous double-aspect kitchen-diner create flexible reception space, while one bedroom on the ground floor enables single-level living if required. The property is chain free and includes two allocated parking spaces adjacent to the house.
The rear garden is a standout feature: approximately 40' (12m) in length, south-west facing and unusually private for the development, with a shed and greenhouse. Interiors are serviceable but dated in parts — the kitchen and bathroom reflect mid-to-late 20th century fittings and would benefit from modernisation to unlock greater value and comfort. Heating is electric and the house has double glazing.
Practical considerations are clear: there is a single bathroom with an electric shower over the bath, and the property is heated electrically, which can mean higher running costs compared with gas. The area data shows higher local crime levels, which prospective buyers should factor into their decision. For buyers seeking a low-maintenance, chain-free home close to Wells city centre, this house offers a private plot and the chance to update to modern standards.
Location is convenient for Wells’ amenities, schools and commuter routes to Bristol and Bath. The plot size and ground-floor layout will suit families needing outdoor space and adaptable accommodation, while renovators will see scope to improve energy efficiency and aesthetics to add value.
