Carisbrooke is a three-bedroom semi-detached house tucked on a quiet, traffic-free lane a short walk from Wells-next-the-Sea’s main shopping street and the harbour. The property sits on a decent plot with an attractive mainly lawned rear garden, mature planting and a private off-street parking space reached from the garden. Offered chain free, it suits someone looking to move quickly into a coastal town with strong local amenities and good schools.
The house dates from the post-war period and retains traditional brick elevations and a pitched roof. Internally the split-level layout provides a kitchen/dining room, sitting room, three bedrooms and a single bathroom; the upper roofscape also offers scope for a loft conversion (subject to permissions) to create extra living space and take advantage of distant sea views. Gas central heating and mains services are in place; the EPC is band D.
Important to note: the property needs renovation and general updating throughout — cosmetic and some structural improvements are required to modernise services and finishes. Broadband speeds are only average and the accommodation is dated in parts, so the house is a better fit for buyers prepared to invest time and money into improvement rather than those seeking a turnkey home.
For downsizers, second-home buyers or buyers seeking a renovation project close to the sea, this home combines a peaceful tucked-away position with strong potential. With the quay, sandy beach, shops, cafés and community facilities within easy walking distance, the location offers year-round lifestyle benefits with leisure and coastal activities on the doorstep.
