Property description & features
- Tenure: Freehold
Fisherman's Cottage is a fabulous Grade II Listed cottage situated right in the heart of Wells-next-the-Sea with views over the quay towards the sea from the upstairs rooms. The property has been extensively refurbished whilst retaining a wealth of period features including latch doors, exposed beams and floorboards, sash windows and fireplaces.
The beautifully presented accommodation comprises a vaulted kitchen, dining room and sitting room to the ground floor with a double bedroom and shower room upstairs. A further staircase leads up to a luxury bathroom and another double bedroom on the second floor.
Outside, there is a low maintenance walled courtyard garden to the front and a useful outside store with space for beach equipment etc.
Fisherman's 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 proven track record as a successful holiday lettings business. The furniture, fixtures and fittings are available by separate negotiation.
Wells-next-the-Sea has been a fishing and commercial port for nearly 600 years which still supports a thriving fishing fleet bringing in crabs, lobsters, mussels and whelks sold locally on the quayside and in nearby restaurants. With a growing number of leisure craft moorings, a lively, sociable sailing club, harbour and sea fishing trips, the town caters for every type of water activity including “gillying” -crabbing on the quayside. Situated a mile from the Quay, the stunning extensive sandy beach is ranked as one of the top 10 in the country by Telegraph Travel. Against a backdrop of Corsican pinewoods, the beach is home to the much publicised, iconic colourful beach huts, available to buy or rent daily.
From the top of town down to the Quay, Staithe Street provides visitors and locals with a wide variety of shops, cafes, galleries and food stores. For entertainment, the newly opened Wells Maltings offers live entertainment and exhibitions, whilst alongside the Quay, are all the usual popular traditional seaside attractions. Locals agree with The Times in March 2021 who voted Wells as one of the best places to live. Alongside coastal scenery, wildlife and water sports, the town has a primary and secondary school – both rated Good by Ofsted - as well as a library, doctor’s surgery and hospital providing a range of accessible and integrated health and well being services.

Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
