Four Bedroom Detached House in Wells, Somerset
detached house 
4 bedrooms Property description
An exceptional detached four-bedroom Victorian home, beautifully restored and thoughtfully extended to combine timeless character with modern living. Boasting a spacious, landscaped garden along with a multifunctional outbuilding, which is presently utilized as a home office and gym, the building has received planning permission to transform the structure into an annexe. Additionally, it offers separate private off-street parking for multiple vehicles.
About the Property.
Set behind a striking red brick façade with a deep bay window, this impressive home occupies an elevated position on Portway, offering privacy, panoramic views, and elegantly landscaped surroundings.
Lovingly restored over recent years, the property blends original period features with contemporary finishes to create a very stylish and highly spacious family residence.
About the Inside.
The welcoming entrance hall, laid with slate flooring, leads to a stunning open-plan kitchen and dining space—ideal for modern family life and entertaining. The fully fitted kitchen includes a large central island with hot-tap, pantry cupboard and range cooker and flows seamlessly into the open dining area, with an original glazed door opening to the rear garden. Double doors connect to a formal sitting room, bathed in natural light from the bay window and featuring polished floorboards and period fireplaces.
Adjacent to the kitchen is a beautifully bright sunroom, perfectly used as a study and overlooking the immaculate gardens. A well-appointed boot room and a separate utility room offer a convenient and practical space with external side access.
The first floor reveals more of the impressive views on offer and hosts three generous double bedrooms. A sleek, contemporary shower room serves this floor and a sumptuous clawfoot bath can be found on the second floor. Here, the principal bedroom enjoys its own private sanctuary with the en-suite bathroom, far-reaching views and copious amounts of eves storage.
About the Outside.
The property is approached via a gravel driveway bordered by a traditional stone wall and mature planting, offering a warm and attractive welcome.
To the rear, the expansive garden includes two, large, paved seating areas and a wide, level lawn—perfect for families and outdoor gatherings. Steps lead down to a beautifully converted outbuilding, now housing a home office and gym, complete with its own gated entrance and additional parking, allowing for flexible use or potential future development as there is planning approved for its conversion into a one bedroom annexe. A timber workshop adds further utility.
