Penn Place, Carlton Mews, Wells Property Description: Guide Price: £500,000.

A beautifully converted three storey gated townhouse set quietly within the historic heart of the City of Wells, combining period character with practical modern living.

Arranged over three floors, the house suits buyers seeking a central yet discreet location, including professionals, down-sizers or those looking for a low maintenance city base with outdoor space and parking.

The approach is via a gated entrance into Penn Place, creating an immediate sense of privacy and separation from the city streets beyond.

The front door opens into a porch with original flagstone flooring with space for boots and hanging coats.

This then leads into the hall with exposed beams overhead, setting the tone for the rest of the house. There are two rooms on the ground floor.

The kitchen is bright and well laid out, with exposed beams, painted cabinetry, timber worktops, an integrated fridge freezer and dishwasher as well as a range-style cooker.

There is ample space for a large dining table making it a natural everyday living space with a door leading directly out to the courtyard garden.

Also on this floor is a good sized study, ideal for home working and equally suitable as a snug or occasional reception.

This room has a large storage cupboard discretely tucked away with plumbing - an ideal place for the washing machine.

The first floor is dedicated to a generous sitting room with oak flooring and excellent natural light plus a shower room and a double bedroom with triple wardrobe.

The sitting room could be used as fourth bedroom.

The upper floor provides two further double bedrooms, one of which includes built-in wardrobes and a beautifully presented shower room with contemporary tiling and fittings.

The bedrooms are all well proportioned. Outside: To the front of this handsome house is a pretty south facing courtyard garden enclosed by original city walls.

The space is arranged with paved and gravelled areas, planting and room for seating creating a private and manageable outdoor setting.

The courtyard is particularly well positioned for sunlight and offers a quiet retreat given its central location. There is a parking space provided.

Location: Penn Place is a particularly peaceful and secluded setting, just a short walk from Wells High Street, the bustling Market Place and the Cathedral.
