DESCRIPTION
Beautifully proportioned and filled with natural light, The Coach House is an elegant two-bedroom home tucked away just off the historic Buttlands in the heart of Wells-next-the-Sea. Offering generously sized accommodation, an enclosed private garden and off-road parking for one vehicle, it is ideally suited to those looking to downsize without compromising on room size or comfort.
Just a stone's throw from the town's excellent amenities, the property enjoys easy access to Wells' charming independent shops, acclaimed restaurants and cafés, as well as its picturesque harbour, boating facilities and the award-winning sandy beach.
The Coach House is an attractive brick-and-pantile home, discreetly positioned behind Square House on the historic Buttlands. Tucked away from the road, this charming L-shaped semi-detached former coach house offers
beautifully proportioned accommodation, combining period character with practical modern living.
The principal entrance opens into a generous boot room and utility, featuring traditional flagstone flooring, a Belfast sink, wooden worktops, open shelving and space for laundry appliances. A particularly practical space for storing boots, bicycles and boating equipment, it also benefits from a cloakroom with WC and direct access to the garden.
Beyond, the kitchen is fitted with painted Shaker-style cabinetry complemented by solid wooden worktops and a cream Lacanche range cooker with gas hob and both gas and electric ovens. Painted open shelving enhances the room's character, while there is also space for a dishwasher. An external door provides further access to the garden, making it ideal for everyday living and entertaining.
The kitchen flows seamlessly into a spacious, light-filled dining room, where east-facing windows overlook the enclosed garden. Wonderfully proportioned, this versatile room is equally suited as a formal dining space or an additional reception room. Beyond lies an elegant sitting room centred around an attractive fireplace with a wood-burning stove, and French windows, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Throughout the ground floor, tall ceilings and engineered oak flooring enhance the sense of light and space.
A staircase rises from the dining room to the first floor, where two generous double bedrooms retain an abundance of period charm with exposed original beams and dual-aspect windows. The principal bedroom benefits from a built-in cupboard and a well-appointed en-suite bathroom featuring white sanitaryware and tongue-and-groove panelling. A separate shower room is fitted with a large walk-in shower, heated towel rail and airing cupboard. Completing the accommodation is a delightful second double bedroom, distinguished by its original semi-circular feature window overlooking the courtyard below, adding a unique architectural focal point to this characterful home.
_______
OUTSIDE
Approached via a gravel driveway, The Coach House benefits from off-road parking for one vehicle. A gated entrance leads into a charming, paved courtyard, providing an ideal setting for al fresco dining and outdoor entertaining. Beyond, the enclosed garden is predominantly laid to lawn, enjoying a sunny aspect and offering a peaceful, retreat. Complemented by a timber garden shed and greenhouse, it provides an excellent space for keen gardeners and those wishing to make the most of the outdoor lifestyle.

AGENTS NOTE
There is a covenant on the property which means it cannot be used for holiday letting. There is a right of access for the Square House over the drive to allow the owner of that property to reach their flat unencumbered, and they also have a right to vehicle access for maintenance works (only). So ‘private rights – access to the Square House entrance on the side of the house’.
