Description

This well proportioned one bedroom apartment in Wells is on the ground floor of an imposing Victorian house. In need of some modernisation, its elegant, high-ceilinged rooms with tall sash windows and lovely outlooks provide the bones of a beautiful home.The rooms are full of natural light and have retained some of the lovely original cornicing, plaster mouldings and architraves.There is gas central heating and secondary double glazing throughout. A perfect bolt-hole within walking distance of Wells city centre. From the grand communal hall the front door to the apartment opens into the expansive living room, with the en-suite bedroom off to the right and kitchen to the left. The impressive space available here means that there is huge potential to design and plan the rooms to suit individual requirements.



A complete property roof replacement was carried out in April 2024 and after the sale of the final flat the freehold will transfer to the management company of which all the owners will become directors and will have an equal share.



Outside

To the front of the property is a parking area with a designated parking space for each apartment and a communal visitor space. The apartments enjoy attractive communal gardens to the side and rear with lawns bordered by mature shrubs and trees.
