Property description
From the hustle and bustle of the quayside in the ever-popular seaside town of Wells-Next-The-Sea, this former coastguard's cottage has been lovingly restored to provide our vendors with a peaceful and calm property to enjoy their holidays on the coast.
Wells has allowed our vendors to enjoy an outdoor lifestyle. They have spent time on the beach, having their stresses soothed and their bodies recharged. The pinewoods are another favourite walk for the family and their dogs, alongside Holkham and the coastal path to Stiffkey with its salt marshes, not forgetting the Red Lion pub and its delights.
In their eight years of ownership, they have seen changes within the town, but they are quick to say the original charm doesn't change and they have always had a warm welcome extended to them.
Another favourite place in the town is The Maltings, where getting involved with the community enjoying films and theatre is another great family outing.
Its not difficult to realise our vendors are loathe to let their much-loved Wells home go, but its time to find a new custodian to create their own memories, falling in love with this original, pretty and convenient cottage home.
Retaining much of its original features, the property has two reception rooms that currently serve as a sitting room with a cosy wood burner stove and a dining room with a delightful ornate fireplace. The kitchen has been recently modernised and now boasts granite work surfaces.
Upstairs the bathroom has been modernised to provide a beautiful, luxury suite with stunning tiling. This serves the three bedrooms, where there are precious views out to sea, as you would expect from the cottage's history.
The outside space is at a premium with off road parking to the drive and a garden with useful outbuildings with power and light.
The cottage feels private inside and out, even though it resides in a neighbourhood, with a pretty, walled, front boundary which avoids both pedestrians and vehicles passing outside your door.
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?
