Silver Street, Wells, BA5

DESCRIPTION

Set in the heart of Wells, on a no through road and just a stone's throw from the Bishop's Palace, Cathedral and High Street, is this delightful, well-proportioned two bedroom cottage.  The property has been updated by the current owners with a new kitchen, new bathroom and combi-boiler and now offers the perfect balance of character features and modern convenience.

Upon entering is the sitting room with flagstone floor, beamed ceiling, stone and brick fireplace with woodburning stove and shelved alcoves.  To the front is a sash window with a window seat beneath, the perfect spot to sit and read a book.  This bright and characterful room offers plenty of space for comfortable seating.  From the sitting room, a door leads past the staircase to the open plan kitchen diner.  This generous room has a tiled floor, exposed stone walls, panelling and a recently fitted kitchen (2022).  The kitchen features an array of cabinets with pale taupe Shaker style doors and drawers, space for both a range cooker and fridge freezer along with a ceramic 1 1/2 bowl sink and a breakfast bar to seat three to four people.  Neatly tucked away under the stairs, accessed by folding double doors, is the utility cupboard with space and plumbing for a washing machine, dishwasher and tumble dryer along with shelving for storage. The dining area has built-in banquette seating with space for a dining table to seat six to eight people. Adjacent, to the dining area a door leads out to the shared courtyard garden.

Stairs rise to the first floor landing with shelved alcove.  To the front is a generous double bedroom, currently presented as a twin, with painted beams, part vaulted ceiling, wooden fireplace with cast iron insert and A window with front aspect over the walled stream, and a window seat beneath.  At the rear of the property is a second double bedroom with side aspect, wooden fireplace with cast iron insert and a cupboard housing the 'i-mini' combi-boiler.  The bright family bathroom, with Velux window, has been tastefully updated (again in 2022) and features half-panelled walls, peg rail, bath with waterfall shower overhead, traditional style wash basin, WC, modern towel radiator, built-in shelved cupboard and space for additional furniture.
