Set moments from Wells Cathedral, this Tudor-origin semi-detached house combines historic character with substantial, flexible family accommodation. High ceilings, exposed beams and a dramatic arched window fill the house with light, while engineered oak and natural stone floors add contemporary ease to period details. The layout includes four bedrooms, three bathrooms, two ensuites and generous living spaces across multiple levels.
Outside there are two enclosed courtyards: a sun-trapped cobbled forecourt capable of parking several cars and a private rear courtyard with covered walkway and planted borders. The low-maintenance exterior and handy stores (wood store, bike shed) make the house unusually practical for such a central, historic setting. The property is offered chain free and sits within a short, level walk of Market Square, schools and local amenities.
Practical points are clear: the house is Grade II* listed, which preserves its character but will restrict alterations and can complicate planning and maintenance. Council Tax is Band F, so running costs are higher than average. The house has been updated and insulated, but buyers should allow for listed-property maintenance and specialist repair costs. Overall this is a rare, characterful central Wells home for buyers who value history, light and convenience over extensive modern remodelling.
