former coach house believed to date back to the late 1800s and built of brick
and cobbled walls under a pantiled roof. Conveniently situated in the heart of
Wells - next - the - Sea, the property makes an ideal second home coastal retreat
with holiday lettings potential or a permanent home close to all the town's
amenities. The property is located on a quiet road just a few minutes' walk
from The Buttlands, the town's main shopping street, Staithe Street, with the
Quay accessed at the top of the lane.
There is flexible and surprisingly spacious ground floor accommodation briefly
comprising a kitchen, vaulted dining room and sitting room plus a garden room.
There is also a ground floor bedroom and shower room and a versatile room
currently used as bedroom 4 which could instead provide another reception
room. Upstairs, the landing leads to 2 further bedrooms. Outside, the property
has a small low maintenance courtyard garden and benefits from gas - fired
central heating and uvpc double glazing.
The Old Coach House is being offered for sale with no onward chain and the

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
