4 bed detached house for sale

Northfield Crescent, Wells-Next-The-Sea NR23

Ardmore is an individual detached family house built approximately 30 years ago by local builders on the outskirts of the seaside town of Wells-next-the-Sea with fine views over neighbouring countryside and the marshes beyond. The Quay and North Norfolk Coastal Path are close by and easily accessed via a footpath from the garden gate, with all of the amenities on offer in the centre of town just an easy 10 minute walk away.

The property has presented spacious family sized accommodation briefly comprising a reception hall, kitchen/dining room with a separate utility and cloakroom and a comfortable sitting room. Upstairs, the galleried landing leads to 4 double bedrooms, 2 with views towards the marshes, and a family bathroom. There is also the added benefit of UPVC double glazed windows and doors throughout and gas-fired central heating making this an ideal permanent family home, second home or, as its current use, a successful holiday lettings business.

Outside, the property has driveway parking for 2/3 vehicles to the front, an integral garage and good sized fully enclosed walled and hedged gardens to the rear.

Ardmore is being offered for sale with no onward chain.

Wells-next-the-Sea has been a fishing and commercial port for nearly 600 years which still supports a thriving fishing fleet bringing in crabs, lobsters, mussels and whelks sold locally on the quayside and in nearby restaurants. With a growing number of leisure craft moorings, a lively, sociable sailing club, harbour and sea fishing trips, the town caters for every type of water activity including “gillying” -crabbing on the quayside. Situated a mile from the Quay, the stunning extensive sandy beach is ranked as one of the top 10 in the country by Telegraph Travel. Against a backdrop of Corsican pinewoods, the beach is home to the much publicised, iconic colourful beach huts, available to buy or rent daily.

From the top of town down to the Quay, Staithe Street provides visitors and locals with a wide variety of shops, cafes, galleries and food stores. For entertainment, the newly opened Wells Maltings offers live entertainment and exhibitions, whilst alongside the Quay, are all the usual popular traditional seaside attractions. After 3 years of restoration, the Quay also sees the welcome return of The Albatros (a former Dutch cargo ship) which is permanently moored and will reopen soon offering its own unique forms of hospitability. Locals agree with The Times in March 2021 who voted Wells as one of the best places to live. Alongside coastal scenery, wildlife and water sports, the town has a primary and secondary school – both rated Good by Ofsted - as well as a library, doctor’s surgery and hospital providing a range of accessible and integrated health and well being services.

Mains water, mains drainage and mains electricity. Gas-fired central heating to radiators. EPC Rating Band C.
