Ashburton Close, Wells-next-the-Sea, NR23

Built in 2015 to a high specification, 38 Ashburton Close is a traditionally styled end terrace house situated on the edge of the popular Staithe Place development on the outskirts of Wells-next-the-Sea.  There is superbly presented light and airy accommodation including, to the ground floor, entrance hall, cloakroom, L-shaped kitchen/dining room with a utility area and a spacious triple aspect sitting room. The upstairs rooms have fine far reaching countryside views to the west with a galleried landing leading to an en suite principal bedroom, 2 further bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The property also has the benefit of double glazed windows and doors (with sash windows to the front and side elevations), gas-fired central heating with a Clearview wood burning stove in the sitting room, an intruder alarm and the remainder of its NHBC warranty.  38 Ashburton Close stands behind a small gravelled front garden with a garage and driveway parking to the side and a beautifully landscaped yet low maintenance south facing rear garden with a timber garden studio building.

The property has been a much loved second home for the current owners but would also suit those buyers looking for a low maintenance coastal permanent home less than a 10 minute walk from the town centre and the wide range of amenities on offer at Wells-next-the-Sea.

38 Ashburton Close is being offered for sale with no onward chain.

Wells-next-the-Sea has been a fishing and commercial port for nearly 600 years which still supports a thriving fishing fleet bringing in crabs, lobsters, mussels and whelks sold locally on the quayside and in nearby restaurants. With a growing number of leisure craft moorings, a lively, sociable sailing club, harbour and sea fishing trips, the town caters for every type of water activity including “gillying” -crabbing on the quayside. Situated a mile from the Quay, the stunning extensive sandy beach is ranked as one of the top 10 in the country by Telegraph Travel. Against a backdrop of Corsican pinewoods, the beach is home to the much publicised, iconic colourful beach huts, available to buy or rent daily.

From the top of town down to the Quay, Staithe Street provides visitors and locals with a wide variety of shops, cafes, galleries and food stores. For entertainment, the newly opened Wells Maltings offers live entertainment and exhibitions, whilst alongside the Quay, are all the usual popular traditional seaside attractions. After 3 years of restoration, the Quay also sees the welcome return of The Albatros (a former Dutch cargo ship) which is permanently moored and will reopen soon offering its own unique forms of hospitability. Locals agree with The Times in March 2021 who voted Wells as one of the best places to live. Alongside coastal scenery, wildlife and water sports, the town has a primary and secondary school – both rated Good by Ofsted - as well as a library, doctor’s surgery and hospital providing a range of accessible and integrated health and well being services.
