About this listing
Property Description: Located in an elevated & private position, this well-presented 4 bedroom detached cottage has some of the best panoramic views across Wells, taking in the Cathedral, Glastonbury Tor and the surrounding countryside. Entering the property through a gated archway, the front porch opens into a spacious boot room with a new wood effect floor and a conveniently positioned downstairs cloakroom. To the left of the hall is a light and modern dual aspect kitchen/dining room with a sliding patio door that leads out to the terrace, ideal for family meals and entertaining.

There is an integrated dishwasher and a range comprising a double oven and gas hob, a large freestanding fridge freezer and a washing machine fitted in an additional low level unit. Accessed from the hall and the kitchen/dining room are two light and generously proportioned sitting rooms. One has an open fireplace perfect for winter evenings and the other has a new fully glazed door that leads directly out to the extensive paved terrace and front garden with stunning views that stretch across the city to the Cathedral and beyond. Completing the ground floor is a generous conservatory which would make an ideal home gym or just a peaceful spot to enjoy the views. On the first floor, the principal bedroom is a generous double with a view that takes in Wells and Glastonbury Tor. A second spacious double bedroom benefits from dual-aspect windows and a fitted wardrobe, while the third is also well-proportioned with a walk-in wardrobe and westerly view across the surrounding fields.
