Summary - 1-2 Barn Cottages, Shop Lane NR23 1AW
3 bed 2 bath Barn Conversion
Single-storey barn conversion with courtyard garden and holiday-let potential near the harbour..
Two-minute walk to the quay and town amenities
Set in the heart of Wells-next-the-Sea and just a two-minute walk from the quay, this single-storey barn conversion offers flexible accommodation and clear holiday-let potential. The open-plan kitchen/dining/living room with engineered oak floors and a wood-burning stove creates an attractive, sociable ground-floor layout that holiday guests and permanent residents will appreciate. The property was originally two cottages and can be reconfigured to provide a self-contained studio or separate annexe, giving scope for income or flexible family use.
Outside there is a fully enclosed courtyard garden with a covered seating area and a separate garden room — a private, low-maintenance outdoor space ideal for guests or alfresco dining. Unrestricted parking is available on the unadopted lane to the front. The location is a major asset: tucked away yet minutes from independent shops, cafes, the harbour and the beach, making it a strong short‑let or holiday base.
Buyers should note material facts plainly: the EPC is rated E and primary heating is electric (panel heaters and electric underfloor in bathrooms). The building retains solid brick walls with assumed no cavity insulation, so energy efficiency and running costs are likely higher than modern builds. The plot is small and parking is on-street/unadopted lane rather than a private driveway. Despite these drawbacks, the property’s size, layout and location create practical options for conversion, refurbishment or continued use as a comfortable coastal residence or income-producing holiday let.
This cottage will suit buyers seeking a low‑maintenance seaside base with rental potential, or an investor wanting a proven holiday-let location with scope to optimise layout and energy performance. Viewings are recommended to appreciate the courtyard, flexible plan and immediate proximity to Wells’ quay and amenities.
