A handsome 1920's house, located on a no-through-road in the heart of Wells, central and yet quiet.
Summary

Location
Portway Avenue is a quiet, leafy, no-through-road made up of large, 1920's detached and semi-detached houses on generous plots. Newhaven is less than 50 mts walk from Waitrose and just over 300mts from the High Street. Perfectly located to enjoy all that Wells has to offer. Views at the back are dominated by the historic, Somerset stone tower of St. Cuthbert's Church.
Description
Newhaven is a much-loved family home that has only had two owners since it was built. It retains the style and integrity of the original build, with modernist, machine made, Crittall windows and elegant, pared back architectural features. The optimism of the post war period is evident in high ceilings and generous proportions which combine with plenty of glass to create a bright and welcoming home.
Accommodation
An attractive timber door opens to a generous entrance hall where there is plenty of space for coats and boots. To the left is a bright sitting room. A large bay window floods the room with light while a Jetmaster fire provides warmth in the colder months. Glazed, double doors open to the 20ft dining room. This is a wonderfully versatile, spacious and central room in the house. It too has a fireplace and recessed shelving on either side of the chimney breast. French doors lead to a glazed rear porch which opens to a paved terrace.
*
The kitchen is located beyond the dining room. It has fitted units and space for an electric oven and dishwasher. The kitchen and breakfast room are connected by an unusual, large opening over the sink which is like a picture frame. This frames a very attractive view of the garden and church tower beyond. The breakfast room overlooks the garden and is fully glazed to make the most of the sun from the east and south.To the side is a useful utility area which connects to a boot room and studio. Off the entrance hallway there is a downstairs cloakroom and stairs that rise to the first floor. Here you will find 4 bedrooms. Two have built in wardrobes and fireplaces and all have large windows with some great views. There is a family bathroom and separate w.c.

A loft hatch on the landing provides access, via pull down ladder, to the loft room. This is an attractive space with a large velux window providing plenty of natural light. It is no surprise to discover that the house was previously owned by artists.

To the side there is a driveway for parking up to 3 cars.The back garden is a delight with great privacy and various mature trees including an apple and magnolia.

About Us Roderick Thomas is an entirely independent firm with decade of experience selling and letting residential property. The firm has offices in Bristol (Clifton), Wells, Wedmore and Castle Cary and with its networked associate office in London covers a wide geographical area. The focus is to deliver a high level of service to clients to achieve the best sale or rental possible within a set timescale. The importance of wide spread advertising and effective marketing is recognised and with each property an individual campaign is planned. Having attracted buyers the next stage is negotiation and the firm prides itself on securing an agreement on the best terms and then progressing the sale to completion. Ongoing discussion with all parties including solicitors ensures an agreed timetable is maintained and hitches are anticipated when possible and addressed with action taken if necessary. Focusing fully on sales and letting and not being burdened with “head office” costs Roderick Thomas is able to offer highly competitive commission rates on all agency terms. These include: Sales SOLE AGENCY – one agent is instructed to sell a property and commission is paid to the agent on completion of the sale. JOINT AGENCY – two (occasionally more) agents are instructed. They work in conjunction and share the commission on completion. The rate is usually higher than the sole agency. MULTI AGENCY – two (or occasionally more) agents are instructed. They work in competition and only the agent who sells receives a commission on completion. Again this is usually at a higher rate then sole agency (but not always). All prospective sellers are invited to contact Roderick Thomas to discuss the sale of any property.

This includes finding tenants and agreeing terms and this can be extended to include rent collection and full management if required. Each case is assessed individually to suit a clients needs.
