If you've ever dreamed of a cosy Victorian terrace with a garden straight out of a postcard, this two-bedroom gem on North Road in Wells might just be the ticket.
Nestled a short stroll from the city centre and Wells Cathedral, this £290,000 property - on the market with Sandersons - offers charm, convenience, and a touch of quirkiness that's hard to resist.
Step through the front door into a living room that's as cheerful as it is sunny, thanks to a south-facing bay window that practically shouts, "Look at all this natural light!" There's also built-in shelving, perfect for your curated collection of books you'll definitely read one day.
The dining room is equally inviting, featuring a working fireplace to keep things toasty and add a splash of Victorian character. It's also home to not one, but two understairs storage cupboards—because who doesn't need a place to stash life's mysteries?
Through a door at the back, you'll find a galley-style kitchen with double-aspect windows, making it bright and functional. While the kitchen has space for all the essentials, it also provides direct access to the garden, so you can contemplate your next cuppa with a view.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom offers plenty of space and two open wardrobes, ideal for showing off your minimalist aspirations. The second bedroom is perfect for a single bed, a small double, or your latest hobby-turned-storage space. The bathroom rounds out the upstairs with a garden view and a bath with an electric shower—because nothing says Victorian-meets-modern quite like that.
The front of the property has a cute path leading to the front door, framed by a walled gravel area and a bush that may or may not be plotting world domination.
Out back, things get interesting. The courtyard offers storage, an outdoor tap, and a gravel terrace for dining al fresco (or just pretending to when it's too cold). Beyond that lies a quintessential cottage garden, complete with raised beds—ideal for peas, rhubarb, or that one tomato plant you'll definitely remember to water. There's even a greenhouse for channeling your inner horticulturist.
Life is too short for boring homes, and this one is packed with personality, practicality, and plenty of potential. At a guide price of £290,000–£300,000, it's the perfect blend of character and convenience in the heart of Somerset's smallest city.
