Property description

This beautiful mid-terrace cottage is currently being used as a successful holiday rental in the heart of Wells-next-the-Sea.

Curlew Cottage over the years has served as a second home to our seller as well as a successful holiday let. It is perfectly situated to take advantage of the bustling quayside, local amenities, sandy beach, and luscious pine woods. Only two doors away from the cottage is the award-winning Wells Crab House.

This home is the ideal place to relax and unwind, with the ground floor being open plan creating a sociable space. The kitchen/dining and sitting room has been tastefully modernised and has accents of wood and brick work exposed within the space.

The first-floor features two generously sized bedrooms well-served by the family bathroom. Ascending to the second floor the principal bedroom stands proudly featuring an en-suite shower room and storage. Arguably this bedroom has the loveliest view overlooking the sea.

Finishing off this charming property is the rear garden which provides more entertaining space for family and guests also featuring a decked area enabling a bird's eye view of the recreation ground.

The cottage has been a perfect sanctuary for our vendor, and with a heavy heart, it is time now for a new custodian to enjoy and create new memories to last a lifetime. 

WELLS-NEXT-THE-SEA Wonderful Wells! With its sandy beach and pretty candy-striped huts, it's easy to understand why this sleepy coastal town is a Mecca for day trippers and holiday makers, but there are plenty of reasons to make Wells-next-the-Sea your permanent home and explore this sweet spot forever.

There are plenty of ways to explore the waterways that surround the area. For a nautical adventure, jump aboard one of the Coastal Exploration Company's traditional wooden sailing boats and adventure hidden creeks, marshes and open sea. Or test your balance with a stand-up paddleboarding session with Barefoot SUP.

The lanes behind the harbour and surrounding the town have plenty of tucked-away fishermen's cottages which are highly sought after, as are apartments with sea views in the converted buildings overlooking the harbour. Head out of the town centre to discover plenty of spacious, grand houses along with fantastic new-build developments which are ideal for young families and downsizers alike. With a bustling community, the town is well-serviced with a primary and secondary schools, plus a GP surgery and library.

For a hit of culture, head to Wells Maltings, an elegant heritage and community centre just off the quay which houses a theatre, cinema, gallery and café-bar. While away an afternoon browsing the town's galleries – The Staithe Gallery, Gallery Plus and Quay Art – for some artwork to adorn your home. Discover gorgeous homewares at Nomad and the Bowerbird, relaxed country clothing at Christopher William Country and eco-friendly clothing and toys for little one at Ele and Me. Traditional butcher Arthur Howell is the place locals go to for high quality meat, and you might be lucky enough to bag some freshly caught fish straight off the boat, on the harbour wall. The Real Ale Shop at nearby Branthill Farm is a must for craft beer drinkers.

Alternatively treat yourself to a delicious meal at The Globe Inn or Crown Hotel overlooking the green, or push the proverbial boat out and head to Michelin-starred Morston Hall. For a simpler, yet equally quintessential Wells experience, share a box of fish and chips from French's on the harbour wall and watch the sun slowly set over the water. Imagining yourself here already? Could this be your dream coastal home?
