A rare opportunity to acquire and transform a landmark building in the heart of Wells-next-the-Sea, overlooking The Buttlands.

Extending to approx. 2,261 sq ft (210 sq m), plans propose four en-suite bedrooms and a utility room on the ground floor, with a kitchen, two reception rooms and a cloakroom above. Alternatively, the layout lends itself to subdivision into two dwellings (STPP).

With planning consent for external alterations and Building Regulation Approval for residential conversion already in place, much of the groundwork has been done. A small courtyard sits to the east, and a proposed west-facing roof garden offers wonderful views across The Buttlands.

An exciting project for those with vision and creativity.
