Description

NUMBER 3, 23 CHAMBERLAIN STREET, WELLS, SOMERSET, BA5 2PQ

Superb, central, 2 bedroom maisonette, part of substantial and imposing Grade 11 listed Georgian townhouse, thought to date from late 18th Century which has been divided into four. Renovated to a high specification with open plan living, a parking space, garage and private rear courtyard.

A secure communal entrance hall leads to a small separate hall, large open plan sitting/dining room and kitchen. Upstairs there are two bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Outside there is a private courtyard garden, single garage and an allocated private parking space.

Location

Chamberlain Street is a quiet and popular residential road within a conservation area which mainly includes period properties reflecting the character of England's smallest and very beautiful Cathedral City with its population of about 12,500.
Wells has a medieval marketplace, a good range of shops and a wide variety of amenities plus social and sporting associations and clubs. Although the house is very quiet, the high street and market square are just a few yards away. Concerts, performances on the cathedral green, and the cathedral itself are all within very easy walking distance.

Description

An excellent opportunity to acquire a recently renovated, practical and beautifully laid out home with smart, bright and fresh accommodation in the heart of arguably one of the most charming cities in England.
It has the added benefit of a lockable garage, car parking space and a private courtyard garden. All four houses in the conversion are occupied long-term with lovingly maintained gardens. None are available for Airbnb or other short-term holiday lets.

Accommodation

The main front door opens to a communal corridor which leads through the building out to the rear garden. On the left of the corridor is the front door to the apartment, which opens to an entrance hall with a doorway to a wonderfully spacious open plan living/dining room and kitchen, with smart, wood-effect flooring throughout. This fabulous space is versatile and can be configured to suit your needs. Currently it is arranged with a cosy seating area by the original attractive stone fireplace with a dining table and chairs alongside the kitchen area. The kitchen is contemporary and stylish with an attractive breakfast bar, integrated fridge/freezer, dishwasher, oven, electric hob, extractor. Under unit lights ensure this is a bright space for working and preparing food. Two large, new, double glazed, wooden sash windows flood the living area with natural light.

Stairs, illuminated by a roof light, rise to the first floor, where there is a very smart family bathroom with vanity unit and neutral tiling. To the front are 2 good-sized bedrooms, one of which has large built-in wardrobes. On the landing there is a large cupboard, which houses the boiler and offers plenty of additional storage.

Outside there is a courtyard garden which is a quarter share of the original back garden. It is a delightful private, screened space with floral beds and a paved terrace providing a charming area for alfresco dining. From here a door opens into the back of the single garage which has been arranged to provide additional storage in the roof space. A communal gate opens to Union Street carpark where you will find the private parking space in front of the manual up-and-over door into the garage.
