This Grade II Victorian terrace in central Wells blends historic character with recent, high-quality renovation. Reclaimed timbers, exposed stonework and flagstone floors sit alongside a contemporary kitchen, three bathrooms and refurbished services completed about five years ago. The house works well for a family seeking central convenience, flexible living space and a sheltered private garden.
The layout spans multiple floors with a versatile ground-floor study/music room, a dramatic sitting room with log burner, and a bright kitchen/diner opening to the garden. Upstairs are four bedrooms, two en‑suite shower rooms and a family bathroom — comfortable accommodation for children and guests, or for a home-working adult using the garden studio.
Practical points are candidly stated. The property is Grade II listed which can restrict alterations and will complicate future works. The rear plot is small though mature and private; flood risk is medium in this postcode and local crime levels are recorded as high. Council Tax sits above average. These factors affect insurance, renovation freedom and long‑term running costs.
For buyers who value Wells’s medieval centre, nearby schools, regular markets and easy access to countryside, this home offers a rare combination of period soul and modern comfort — provided you accept the listed‑building constraints and manage the site‑specific risks.
