Property Description: Guide Price: £2,000,000 - £2,250,000. A unique opportunity to acquire a substantial and beautifully positioned five bedroom detached home, extending to approximately 4,700 sq ft, in one of Wells’ most sought after central locations. With expansive and protected views across the Palace Fields, this exceptional property has versatile accommodation, abundant natural light, and clear potential for further enhancement. Built in 2002 and coming to the market for the first time, it is set within approximately three quarters of an acre and is available with no onward chain.
Accessed via a charming stone built bridge, the approach leads to a sweeping circular driveway with a central planted feature, creating a strong sense of arrival. The house sits comfortably within its generous plot, surrounded by mature grounds and with a high degree of privacy.
Internally, the accommodation is both spacious and flexible. A grand entrance hall with a split staircase rises to a galleried landing, creating a striking first impression. The sitting room is well proportioned and dual aspect, centred around an open fireplace, and flows through to a substantial garden room where the far reaching views can be fully appreciated.
The kitchen/breakfast room is positioned to the front and fitted with a range of units, while the dining room sits opposite, overlooking the rear garden. In this room, bi-fold or French doors could be added to enhance the connection to the terrace and gardens beyond. Further ground floor accommodation includes a study, utility room, and a shower room, providing flexibility for modern family living.
Upstairs, the principal suite includes a dressing room and en-suite shower room. There are three further double bedrooms, a single bedroom, and a family bathroom with both bath and shower, along with a separate WC. Above the integrated double garage is a large storage room, with great potential to create a guest suite, subject to the addition of roof lights or a dormer window. Extensive loft area for storage or potential conversion.
Outside: The grounds extend to approximately 0.75 acres and include expansive lawns, a paved terrace ideal for entertaining, and a variety of mature trees. The rear garden is particularly private, while the front could be further enhanced with additional hedging to increase seclusion. The integrated double garage with electric doors and ample driveway parking completes the property.
Available with No Onward Chain, this is a rare chance to secure a substantial, well built home of scale and presence, with outstanding views and the opportunity to personalise, in a prime Wells setting.
