* Freehold
5 Claxtons Yard is a freehold first floor apartment set around a small shared
gravelled courtyard of some 6 properties. The apartment is a short walk from
all the amenities in Wells - next - the - Sea and benefits from a large garage with
a courtyard in front.
The property is light and airy but does now require a programme of light
refurbishment with accommodation comprising an inner hallway,
kitchen/breakfast room, sitting/dining room, 2 double bedrooms, a further
snug/bedroom 3 and a shower room.
Claxtons Yard is named after Robert Claxton who ran a mineral water
manufacturing company on the site from the 1920s until its closure in 1974.
Number 5 is being offered for sale with no onward chain.
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 hospital providing a range
of accessible and integrated health and well being services.
