4 bed terraced house for sale

The Glebe, Wells-Next-The-Sea NR23

19 The Glebe is a rare and exciting opportunity to purchase a Grade II Listed house, retaining many original features but requiring a complete programme of refurbishment and situated right in the heart of Wells-next-the-Sea with views over the Quay towards the sea from the upstairs rooms. The accommodation comprises a kitchen/dining room and sitting room to the ground floor with 2 double bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. On the second floor an open plan attic room with exposed roof beams and dormer windows overlooking the Quay currently has planning to provide 2 further bedrooms and a bathroom but perhaps also lends itself to the creation of a large principal bedroom suite (subject to the necessary permissions).

Outside, there is a front garden requiring cultivation with gated access allowing for off street parking and a useful outbuilding store and WC with consent to be incorporated into the main house.

19 The Glebe 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. 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. Please note that the property has no central heating. EPC Rating Band G.
