Set in the heart of historic Wells, this two-bedroom Victorian terrace offers character, practical living and clear scope to personalise. The house benefits from recent double glazing (2020), gas central heating and a southerly aspect that brightens the open-plan sitting and dining room. Two double bedrooms — including a top-floor bedroom with fitted storage — make the layout easy to live in for a couple or small family.
Outside is a small, low-maintenance south-facing garden ideal for seating and pots, plus a gated hardstanding previously used for two cars. Note: formal off-street parking would require a dropped curb and local consents. The property’s solid brick walls are original (likely uninsulated) and the EPC is rated D, so there’s potential to improve energy performance and running costs.
Practical advantages include mains services, easy access to Wells’ shops, schools and transport links, and a modest council tax band. On the downside, the immediate area records higher crime levels and the plot is small, limiting extension options. Overall this is a characterful, well-located cottage suited to buyers wanting a central, adaptable home with some scope for energy upgrades and cosmetic updating.
