Summary
A characterful two-bedroom maisonette occupying a central position on historic Market Street in the heart of the city of Wells. Arranged over two floors and benefiting from its own private entrance, the property combines period charm with spacious accommodation and a private terrace.

Description
Situated in the very heart of England's smallest city, this delightful two-bedroom maisonette offers an opportunity to acquire a characterful home within easy reach of Wells' wide range of shops, cafés, restaurants and amenities.
Accessed via its own private entrance, the accommodation is arranged over two floors and enjoys a wealth of period features, including exposed beams and an attractive open fireplace. The first floor provides the main living accommodation, comprising a spacious kitchen with breakfast island, a well-proportioned sitting and dining room, a second bedroom and a bathroom.
The sitting room is a particularly appealing space, full of character and charm, providing ample room for both living and dining furniture. The kitchen offers generous storage and workspace, creating a practical hub for everyday living and entertaining.
The second floor is dedicated to the principal bedroom suite, providing a spacious and private retreat complete with en-suite facilities.
Outside, the property benefits from a private terrace-style balcony, offering space for seating and potted plants, ideal for enjoying the atmosphere of this historic city centre setting.
While well-presented throughout, the property offers scope for cosmetic enhancement, allowing a purchaser to update and personalise the accommodation to their own tastes and requirements. A rare additional benefit is the property's freehold tenure, incorporating a flying freehold element.
