4 bedroom detached house for sale

Storm Cottage is coming onto the market for the first time in around 60 years having been a much loved family home located in a central yet tucked away location just a couple of minutes' walk from The Quay and the main shopping street in the ever popular seaside town of Wells-next-the-Sea. Formerly 3 cottages thought to have been built circa 1585, the cottage is set over 3 floors with many unspoilt period features including exposed beams and rafters and now requiring a programme of improvements.  It also benefits from a walled garden which wraps around the property to the south and west featuring a large detached garage/outbuilding offering scope for conversion and to create off street parking (subject to the necessary permissions).The accommodation comprises 4 bedrooms (2 en-suite) with a further 2 good sized attic rooms and an impressive open kitchen/dining/living room.  Storm Cottage is being sold 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.
