Sadler Street, Wells, BA5

DESCRIPTION

A unique opportunity to acquire a prominent central Wells property situated on Sadler Street with views towards Wells Cathedral  and offered with no onward chain. The property is Grade II listed with original features such as high ceilings, fireplace and 20 pane bronze casement windows. The building is believed to have been built as part of a terrace of houses on Chamberlain Street, taking the building into Sadler Street with a graceful quadrant curve. 

The building now represents a fantastic opportunity to create a wonderful two to three bedroom family home or bolt hole within the city centre (subject to the necessary consents). Equally it could be used as a commercial property with potential to create an apartment above, subject to the necessary consents. Over the years the property has been well looked after by the current owner and now offers a blank canvas for someone to place their own mark and finish to their own exacting standards. 

Upon entering the property via the double doors is a panelled hallway leading into a larger inner hall or into the first of the ground floor rooms. This room currently has a media wall installed and windows looking out to both Sadler Street and Chamberlain Street. A further room, formally offices can be found on the ground floor along with a staircase to the basement which comprises a large storage room, kitchen, store cupboard and WC. A beautiful staircase winds to the first floor which comprises two large storage cupboards and two further rooms, one of which having a features fireplace and the other having a light and sunny dual aspect.
