Summary - CATHEDRAL GREEN HOUSE CATHEDRAL GREEN WELLS BA5 2UB
4 bed 4 bath Terraced
Large, listed Georgian townhouse with cathedral views and private terrace — historic central living.
Grade II* 17th-century townhouse with spectacular Cathedral backdrop
An imposing Grade II* townhouse on Cathedral Green, this 17th-century home offers approx. 3,600 sq ft of richly detailed living space and exceptional cathedral views. Grand reception rooms, an impressive 37 ft x 22 ft family sitting room, a private first-floor terrace and an enclosed courtyard garden combine period charm with generous, flexible accommodation across multiple floors — ideal for a family who values history and central city living.
The interior retains numerous historic features: ornate plasterwork, panelled walls, sash windows, high ceilings, stone staircase and extensive built-in shelving. Practical rooms include a fitted kitchen/breakfast room, utility, cloakroom and extensive cellars. The house is freehold and has low flood risk, with a small courtyard garden screened by mature hedging backing onto The Green and the Cathedral.
Buyers should note material constraints: the Grade II* listing will restrict alterations and may complicate maintenance and modernisation. The property sits on a small plot with no private front lawns; gardens on The Green are not in the curtilage and are used by arrangement only. Parking is not included — a rented space is currently used nearby and continuation cannot be guaranteed.
Additional considerations: the house is very large and of significant age, so ongoing maintenance and sensitive conservation work are likely. Council tax is described as quite expensive and local crime statistics are high for the area, which may affect some purchasers. For those seeking a prestigious, character-rich home in the heart of historic Wells, this property offers rare scale, setting and architectural detail.
