An attractive double-fronted Wells house featuring quality fixtures and fittings and elegant neutral décor throughout. It is located on the south-eastern fringes of a desirable village set on the outskirts of the South Downs National Park, near to local amenities, the road network and train station.

Nutshell Cottage is an attractive double-fronted property offering 2,345 sq ft of light-filled, flexible accommodation arranged in an L shape over two floors. It sensitively combines quality fixtures and fittings and elegant neutral décor with period features including leaded casement glazing and some exposed beams.

The accommodation flows from a welcoming reception hall with useful storage and a door to a split-level rear hall with a fitted utility area, cloakroom and rear terrace access. It includes generous dining and family rooms, the latter with a feature open fireplace. The family room and an adjacent galley-style kitchen/breakfast room extend into an inner hall with French doors to the rear terrace, double doors to a large sitting room and a door to a side hall with a shower room. The kitchen/breakfast room has a range of wall and base units, complementary work surfaces, tiled splashbacks, modern integrated appliances, and space for a good-sized table in the inner hall.

The part-vaulted dormer-style first floor is accessible over stairs rising from the reception and side halls. The former gives access to a landing with doors to a generous rear terrace, an L-shaped bedroom and a part-panelled through second bedroom, both with built-in storage, together with a family bathroom. A second landing accessible from the latter has doors to the second bedroom, a further family bathroom with bath and separate shower and a dual aspect principal bedroom with built-in storage and a dressing room, also suitable for use as a further bedroom, if required.

Accessible from the rear hall, the self-contained annexe provides a sitting room with French doors to the front aspect and stairs to a vaulted first floor bedroom with an en suite shower room.
