1 Claxtons Yard is an end terrace cottage set around a small shared gravelled courtyard of some 6 properties. The property is a short walk from all the amenities in Wells next the Sea and benefits from a walled courtyard garden and 2 parking spaces.
The property is light and airy and has been much improved and extended by the current owners with comfortable living accommodation comprising an inner hallway, cloakroom, sitting room and an open plan kitchen dining room, with a cosy mezzanine level. Upstairs, the landing leads to 2 bedrooms, both with lovely views over paddock land to the south, and a bathroom.
Claxtons Yard is named after Robert Claxton who ran a mineral water manufacturing company on the site from the 1920s until its closure in 1974. Number 1 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.
