A rare opportunity to renovate or develop this charming Listed Grade II, four-bedroom house, in the centre of England's smallest city.
Originally two houses and most recently used at the Presbytery for St Joseph & Teresa’s Church, this period property has surprisingly generous proportions and a highly flexible layout with gardens and off-street parking, all just a short stroll from the Cathedral.
A splendid period house for family use but also ideal for development.
About the inside
Offering some fantastic Arts & Crafts features amongst detail from other periods, it is evident how the property has evolved throughout the years.
There are two staircases, one from the formal entrance hall and a second towards the middle of the property. There are four reception rooms, all a good size and each with its own feature fireplace. To the centre is a spacious kitchen which has been updated in recent years. There is a Cloakroom on this floor, opposite a third external door.
The first-floor houses four double bedrooms and a family bathroom with bath and walk in shower. There is significant loft space to explore here too, thanks to the distinctive pair of double roofs.
About the outside
The Presbytery gardens are host to a wonderful variety of flower beds and lawn and have been well tended over the years. There is provision for off street parking for two cars, and the garden extends behind the property by some distance and offering further opportunity to extend (Subject to Planning Permission).
About the area
Chamberlain Street, is situated in a desirable area within central location in the historic cathedral city of Wells.
Wells is the smallest city in England and offers a range of shopping facilities including a high proportion of independent shops and boutiques, banks, restaurants, public houses, cinema and churches. The stunning market square holds a farmer’s market on Wednesday and Saturday.
The nearby Georgian city of Bath and the regional centre of Bristol are also within good commuting distance, while Castle Cary Station with links to London Paddington and Exeter is a fifteen-minute drive away. Bristol International Airport is 17 miles away.
