Orchard Lodge is a large, well-upgraded 1950s detached home tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, about a ten-minute walk from Wells High Street. The house combines generous, flexible living spaces with practical accessibility features — including a recently installed vertical lift — and offers a ground-floor bedroom suite for easy single-level living. Newly renovated interiors and tasteful finishes make it move-in ready for a family seeking space and convenience close to the city centre.
The property sits on nearly 0.38 acres of mature, landscaped gardens that provide excellent privacy, productive kitchen-garden facilities and multiple terraces for outdoor entertaining. Parking is abundant with a large powered garage, an open-fronted garage, car port and a wide gravel courtyard accessed via electric gates. The home also benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Important practical points: the house was built in the 1950s and, while extensively upgraded, the cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation (buyers should verify). Council Tax sits in Band F and will be a significant running cost. The wider area is classified as having higher deprivation — local services and community profile are mixed despite Wells’s strong cultural and schooling offer. Prospective purchasers should confirm details of utilities, insulation, and any further works required.
