About the Property
St Thomas Terrace is a row of Grade II listed houses built in 1868 by Samuel S Teulon. He was the architect responsible for St Thomas' Church and the vicarage both of which are opposite St Thomas Terrace. Number 3 was completely refurbished by the current owners in 2011.

The refurbishment work included a full rewire with fire alarms and new circuit boards etc. Full replumbing including a new high capacity combi boiler servicing the heating and hot water. The extension at the rear was rebuilt with a new roof and joinery and a new back door. A utility room was formed and a downstairs WC introduced. The kitchen was completely replaced as was the bathroom. All with quality materials including quarry tiled flooring and hand made tiles. Non-original period cast iron fireplaces were installed in the sitting room, dining room and bedrooms one and two. The fireplaces in the reception rooms are working fires. All of the floorboards throughout which are original were stripped and varnished. Joinery was replaced in certain areas with matching period reproductions and the property was redecorated throughout. The front garden was redesigned to be in keeping with the front gardens of the neighbours.

This truly is an exceptional property with lots of quality original features which has been refurbished to a very high standard. Properties with this character and in this condition rarely come on to the market within walking distance of Wells.
