1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact, low-cost Wells flat ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
Private first-floor flat with its own entrance and side garden
Set at the quiet end of a cul de sac yet minutes from Wells city centre, this one-bedroom first-floor flat offers a practical, low-hassle home for a first-time buyer, downsizer or buy-to-let investor. The property has a private entrance, its own south-facing balcony and a side garden with an outside store — useful for bikes and seasonal storage. Gas central heating is provided by a boiler in a kitchen cupboard, and the flat is offered chain free with 125 years remaining on the lease.
The accommodation is well presented overall with a double-aspect bedroom, sitting room and a bathroom with an electric shower over the bath. Practical advantages include very cheap council tax (Band A), fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — good for home working or a commuter tenant. A useful single garage potential is noted and there is scope to increase value with modest cosmetic updates.
Buyers should note a few material points: some internal repairs and cosmetic attention are needed (damaged floor and a fireplace requiring work). The property is leasehold, and the wider local area shows pockets of deprivation and average crime levels, which may affect long-term rental returns and resale in parts. There is no flooding risk and the EPC is mid-range (C).
Overall this compact home suits someone seeking an affordable, central Wells base with garden space and low running costs, or an investor aiming for straightforward letting with modest refurbishment.
