CENTRAL WELLS Offers in Excess of £975,000

A charming and very appealing house within a walled garden and within a short walk of the Market Place.

Cherry Tree House combines the benefits of contemporary architecture and quality with a wonderful mature location. The accommodation is very light and airy and includes a reception hall, splendid sitting and dining rooms and a great kitchen & breakfast room. There are also a utility room, cloakroom and an office on the ground floor. Upstairs are a beautiful galleried landing, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms including a large master suite. N.B. Scope for a 4th bedroom. Outside the garden is well landscaped for ease of management and has great privacy being bounded by high stone walls.

Lovers Walk is a small cul de sac which is one of the most sought-after areas of Wells. It includes about a dozen residential properties and a small primary school and is within easy walking distance of the centre of Wells. Cherry Tree House has an excellent location at the end of the lane. Also a private gate opens from the garden to a public pathway. The location is ideal for town living and the high garden stonewalls complement perfectly the contemporary qualities and details of the building.

The house and surrounds are unique and must be viewed to be fully appreciated. The stunning individual design incorporates large windows and doors which literally flood the house with sunlight. These are complemented by large, generously proportioned living areas with details including an oak spiral staircase, a wonderful galleried landing and full height glazing on windows with south and westerly aspects. The house has a high EPC rating of 76 Band C due to its excellent double glazing and its air source heat pump with underfloor heating. This is on both floors with the first floor being of concrete construction for strength, sound and safety reasons. There’s also an integrated Sonos sound system with network computer cabling and recessed ceiling speakers.

The front porch shields the front door which opens into generous reception hall with a plant store and a cloakroom. A door opens to the large sitting room which has a wide range of bi-folding doors opening to the south facing terrace. The reception hall opens directly into the dining area and beyond to the kitchen & breakfast room which is certainly a "wow" room again having wide bi-folding doors to the terrace. The kitchen is very well equipped with units and appliances. Beyond the kitchen is a utility room and a small study.

On the first floor the master suite is excellent and there are 3 other bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, one being en suite. (Flexibility is offered to purchasers who may require a fourth bedroom facility, as it would be feasible to split bedroom two by way of a central partition.)

A drive leads from Lovers Walk onto a private driveway which serves Cherry Tree House and 2 houses beyond. Cherry Tree House has parking spaces and scope to build a garage – subject to obtaining planning consent. On the south west side of the house is a neat mainly walled garden.
