A compact, well-presented one-bedroom apartment set over the first and second floors of a period Georgian terrace on St Thomas Street. The current owners have carried out recent improvements — new flooring, fresh decoration, a newly fitted bathroom, pressure-controlled water heater and a new consumer unit — so the flat is largely move-in ready. The sash windows and built-in window seat add character and natural light to the open-plan sitting/dining room.
The layout suits a first-time buyer or long-term landlord: comfortable living space, a double bedroom with large built-in storage and an efficiently presented bathroom. The kitchen is functional but would benefit from updating to suit modern tastes, offering scope to add value. Heating is via electric storage heaters and services are all connected.
Practical points are straightforward: leasehold with 143 years remaining, peppercorn ground rent and a modest service charge on an as-and-when basis. There is no private parking or outdoor space, only on-street parking nearby, and holiday lets are not permitted. EPC rating D and electric heating are factors to consider for running costs, though council tax is low (Band A).
Location is a strong selling point — a short walk to Wells city centre and the cathedral, local shops, markets and good schools. For buyers wanting a compact, characterful base in a very affluent, low-crime area, this flat offers a tidy, low-maintenance entry into the Wells market with obvious potential to personalise and improve the kitchen and finishes.
