Set within a landmark Grade II listed building on The Buttlands, this newly renovated three-bedroom town house combines generous period proportions with contemporary finishes. Tall ceilings, six large sash windows and original fireplaces retain Georgian and Victorian character, while high-spec bathrooms and a fitted kitchen deliver comfortable, modern living.
The accommodation spans three storeys plus a versatile vaulted-basement level with two barrel‑vaulted rooms ideal for a media room, wine store or home office. At approximately 2,005 sq ft, the layout includes a reception hallway with boot room and cloakroom, a large sitting/dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, principal suite with en suite, a family bathroom and a dedicated laundry room.
Location is a major draw: The Buttlands is a picturesque, tree-lined square in central Wells-next-the-Sea, a short mile from the quay and sandy beaches and close to shops, cafés and good local schools. The property fronts a grassed common and enjoys an open, leafy outlook; on-street parking and a small planted frontage are immediately available.
Practical points to note: the maisonette is leasehold (long lease circa 991 years) with a nominal ground rent and an indicated service charge (circa £1,000). As a Grade II listed building, alterations will be restricted and may cause difficulties for some buyers. Private external garden space is limited or communal rather than substantial, which may affect buyers seeking larger outdoor areas.
