St. Thomas Street Property Description: Guide Price: £400,000 - £425,000.

Tucked away in a quiet and highly desirable position on the eastern side of Wells, this delightful three bedroom period cottage has a wonderful blend of character, space and future potential, all within walking distance of the city’s historic Market Place.

The entrance porch opens into the lobby area which is an ideal space for a desk or study corner.

From here, steps descend into the well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with classic white shaker-style cabinetry, granite worktops and a range of integrated appliances including a Neff cooker, dishwasher and under-counter refrigeration.

A window overlooks the garden, creating a light and sociable heart to the home.

Adjoining the kitchen is an impressive sitting room of generous proportions, rich in character with exposed beams, a wood burning stove, bespoke shelving and a charming window seat.

A glazed door opens directly onto the Limestone flagged paving that runs across the front of the cottage with the pretty garden beyond.

A large utility room provides excellent additional space, with scope to incorporate a downstairs cloakroom if desired.

The boiler, installed approximately three years ago, adds to the home’s practical appeal.

Upstairs, three well-sized, double bedrooms have lovely views over the garden, each enhanced by traditional ledge and brace doors with wrought iron latches.

The family bathroom is fitted with a white suite with a shower over the bath, complemented by a useful built-in cupboard on the landing, ideal for linen or wardrobe storage.

From the landing, steps lead up to the attic room, where a Velux window frames delightful views towards Wells Cathedral and Tor Woods.

This space has exciting potential for conversion into an additional bedroom, subject to the necessary consents.

Outside: The property is set within a charming, enclosed garden bordered by stone walls, mature shrubs and trees. A paved path leads from North Grove, where there is ample on-street parking.
