Property description

An attractive end terrace period cottage with beautifully presented 2 double bedroom, 2 bathroom accommodation and west facing garden close to the Quay.

Description
Arnica Cottage is a charming end terrace period cottage situated right in the heart of Wells-next-the-Sea just moments from the Quay and a few minutes' walk to the town's main shopping street. The current owners have carried out an extensive programme of refurbishment during their period of ownership and the cottage has a wealth of character features including painted 4 panel doors, sash windows to the front and a traditional style cast iron gas fire in the sitting room. There is also the benefit of gas-fired central heating, double glazing throughout and a well appointed kitchen and shower rooms.
The beautifully presented spacious ground floor accommodation comprises a boot room to the rear with a lobby off, shower room, kitchen and a good sized sitting room. Upstairs, a landing to 2 double bedrooms; the principal bedroom also having an en suite shower room and a glimpse of the sea.
Outside, there is an attractive low maintenance west facing courtyard garden to the rear and a useful outbuilding.
Arnica Cottage is being offered for sale with no onward chain and would be ideal for buyers looking for a compact characterful permanent home close to the town's amenities or a second home with a track record as a holiday lettings business. The furniture, fixtures and fittings are available by separate negotiation.

The Quay is still the hub of the town with the familiar sight of "gillying" - fishing for shore crabs and the resident Dutch sailing ketch Albatros alongside the small fishing fleet and growing number of leisure craft. The beach, a mile along the beach road and accessible via the sea wall walk, car or the small railway, boasts beautiful sands, dunes and colourful beach huts fringing the pinewoods.
