A light, airy and particularly spacious one bedroom first floor apartment for the over 60’s, forming part of a sought-after retirement complex close to Wells City Centre. This superb property enjoys a pleasant dual-aspect outlook and benefits from a lift to all floors, communal gardens and a welcoming residents’ lounge. No onward chain.


A door to the apartment opens into an L-shaped hall, which offers an extensive range of fitted storage and a separate built-in cupboard. The sitting/dining room is well-proportioned and dual-aspect with windows to the front and the side (facing West Street) providing a pleasant outlook. This comfortable reception room also has a bay window, allowing extra room for a dining table and chairs. Adjoining the sitting room is the kitchen, which is smartly fitted with floor and wall units in a contemporary style. The kitchen includes an integrated electric eye-level oven, a hob with an extractor hood over plus an integrated washer/dryer, fridge and freezer.

There is one bedroom which is a good size double and has a fitted double mirrored wardrobe, as well as a desk and a series of further wall cupboards. Completing the accommodation is a modern shower room, which offers a corner shower cubicle, a vanity wash hand basin, a low-level WC, a heated towel rail and non-slip flooring.

OUTSIDE
The well-tended communal gardens are located at the rear of St. Athelm Lodge and are mainly laid to lawn with established borders, pathways and a patio seating area. A wooden shelter provides under-cover storage and charging for mobility scooters. To the front of the building is a residents’ car park.

The City of Wells is renowned for its beautiful architecture, including the Cathedral and the Bishop’s Palace. England’s smallest city, Wells contains many clubs and societies for those wishing to get involved in the thriving local community. There are excellent shopping facilities, a bustling High Street with both independent and well-known retailers, as well as various major supermarkets, including Waitrose. Wells benefits from a busy, twice-weekly produce market in the Market Square. The property is also in close proximity to local churches, doctors, dentist surgeries and pharmacies.

In addition, there is a large bus/coach station providing links to other parts of the West Country. Bristol and Bath are readily accessible, as is Castle Cary to the south which has the nearest mainline train station to London Paddington (approx. 1 hour 40 mins).

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). 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

    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
