Summary - ALFRED COURT 2 GATE LANE WELLS BA5 1DJ
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact, low-maintenance one-bed with a sunny west-facing courtyard and allocated parking.
Ground-floor one-bedroom flat, built 2011
A well-presented one-bedroom ground-floor flat in a modern 2011 development, offering low-maintenance living just a short walk from Wells city centre. The sitting/dining room opens via double doors onto a west-facing enclosed courtyard garden, ideal for afternoon sun and outdoor seating. The kitchen is fitted with integrated appliances and space for a washing machine. Underfloor gas central heating provides consistent warmth and the property benefits from double glazing and an EPC rating of C.
Practicalities suit buyers seeking a manageable home: the flat includes one allocated parking space and modest outdoor space laid to chippings and patio for easy upkeep. The lease has 111 years remaining (as of 2025), annual service charge is £1,367.10 and ground rent £250, both of which cover buildings insurance. Council tax is described as cheap.
Notable considerations are the property’s compact overall size (approx. 387 sq ft) and the communal-retirement character of the development, which may appeal more to downsizers or those wanting a quieter community. Local crime levels are reported as high; prospective buyers should satisfy themselves on safety and security measures. The flat is offered on leasehold tenure.
Location is a genuine strength: Wells’ amenities, market and cultural attractions are nearby, with good road links to Bath and Bristol and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. This flat suits someone after a low-maintenance, centrally located retirement or downsizing home, or an investor seeking a lettable one-bedroom in a small-city setting.
