Pear Tree Cottage is a well-presented four-bedroom stone cottage set in the popular village of Wookey, just 2 miles from Wells. Period features are a strong asset: a stunning inglenook fireplace with woodburner and bread oven creates a cosy focal point, and exposed beams and character fireplaces feature throughout. The recently updated kitchen includes a breakfast bar and a pull-out larder, while separate dining and utility rooms give useful, flexible living space.
The house faces south and three of the four bedrooms enjoy open countryside views to the front, making it appealing for buyers who want village life with rural outlooks. There are two bathrooms (one upstairs shower room and a downstairs bathroom), off-street parking and gardens to front and rear. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent — practical benefits for modern living.
A notable bonus is the separate barn/garage within the plot, offering potential for conversion subject to the necessary consents (STPP). That potential adds value but should be treated cautiously: conversion would require planning/building work and associated costs. The property is freehold, in a low-crime area, and sits within easy reach of Wells’ shops, schools and transport links to Bath, Bristol and mainline stations.
Overall this cottage will suit families or buyers seeking a character home with scope to add value, particularly those comfortable managing a modest refurbishment or a formal conversion project. Important practical points — barn conversion needs permissions, and any structural or services checks should be carried out as part of due diligence before purchase.
