Carisbrooke is a superb opportunity to purchase this semi detached town house situated in a rarely available quiet traffic free and tucked away location just a few moments' walk from the main shopping street in the heart of Wells-next-the-Sea. The property is accessed via a walkway to the front, suspended over a low maintenance courtyard garden, with an attractive mainly lawned garden to the rear which leads to a parking space.
The property would now benefit from some refurbishment but also lends itself to extension, perhaps to include a conversion of the roof space (subject to the necessary permissions), making the most of the far reaching rooftop views towards the sea in the distance. The existing split-level accommodation comprises an entrance hall with a kitchen/dining room and sitting room with 3 bedrooms and a bathroom.
Carisbrooke is being offered for sale with no onward chain.
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. After 3 years of restoration, the Quay also sees the welcome return of The Albatros (a former Dutch cargo ship) which is permanently moored and will reopen soon offering its own unique forms of hospitability. 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.
