Summary - 36 Portway BA5 2BN
5 bed 4 bath Semi-Detached
Large five/six-bedroom Victorian house with gardens, parking for five and no onward chain.
Elevated Victorian semi with views to Glastonbury Tor and surrounding countryside
An imposing period semi-detached home arranged over multiple floors, this large five/six-bedroom property sits in an elevated position with long views across Wells to the surrounding countryside and Glastonbury Tor. Elegant reception rooms, high ceilings and original details – stained glass, cornicing, bay windows and fireplaces – give the house strong character and plenty of living space for a growing family. The conservatory and well-tended gardens on three sides provide private outdoor space, while a parking area with space for five cars is a rare practical advantage in town.
The accommodation includes two principal reception rooms, a well-proportioned kitchen/breakfast room with adjacent utility, a three-room cellar (light and power), and four bathrooms including multiple ensuites. Several upstairs rooms form a useful guest or family suite with vaulted ceilings and Velux windows, offering flexible layouts for bedrooms, home office or hobby rooms. The property is offered with no onward chain, so a buyer can plan works or move in without a linked sale.
Buyers should note some material practical points: the stone (granite) walls are original and likely uninsulated, the EPC is rated E, and council tax sits above average (Band E). There is a neighbour's right of access across the parking area — it does not prevent use but is a legal restriction to be aware of. Overall this is a spacious period family home with scope for energy improvements and sympathetic updating to raise comfort and value.
