Hollyhocks is a modern detached house situated in a charming setting within
walking distance of the town centre at Wells - next - the - Sea with fine views of
St Nicholas' Church. The property has been beautifully refurbished by the
current owner and has the benefit of UPVC double glazed windows and doors,
loft and cavity wall insulation, painted 4 panel internal doors, gas - fired
central heating with a replacement boiler (installed September 2021) and solar
panels providing electricity on a feeder tariff. The accommodation comprises a
bright and airy entrance hall, kitchen and a good sized sitting/dining room
with 2 bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs.
Outside, there is an attractively planted south facing front garden with a
paved walkway to the front entrance door and driveway parking to the side. The
former garage has been converted into an artist's studio but could easily
revert to its previous use and has a pedestrian door to the partly walled and
trellised rear garden which overlooks the church.
Hollyhocks is a permanent residence for the current owner but, being close to
all of the facilities Wells - next - the - Sea has to offer, also lends itself to
being a second home with holiday lettings potential.
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. 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 community hospital
providing a range of accessible and integrated health and well being services.
