Features and description
- Freehold
Mermaid Cottage is a charming semi-detached period cottage situated in a prestigious location just off East Quay on Jolly Sailor Yard. The accommodation briefly comprises a cosy sitting/dining room and kitchen with a landing upstairs leading to the 2 bedrooms and bathroom. Further benefits include an open fireplace in the sitting room, exposed ceiling and wall beams, pamment tiled floors and pine latch doors.
Offered with no onward chain, the property does not have any outside space or parking, but with the Quay being just a stone's throw away, this would make the property an ideal second home with holiday lettings potential. The furniture, fixtures and fittings are also available by separate negotiation.
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. 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.
