Ash Lane, Wells

A detached house built in the early 1930's and set in one of the most sought after areas within the city. Set in a large, mature garden with a detached garage and plenty of parking this has been a much loved family home for nearly 40 years and retains a number of original features. Viewing highly recommended.

Accommodation
An enclosed porch opens into a generous reception hall with a feature staircase to the first floor with an understairs cupboard and door out onto the rear garden. To the right is a large sitting room enjoying a double aspect. There is an open fire with stone surround and views across the rear garden.

From the hall another door leads into the dining room which also overlooks the rear garden. An inner lobby gives access to a ground floor cloakroom with the kitchen beyond. Within the kitchen there are solid wood wall and base units. Steps lead down into a garden room which was added by the current owners in 2002. This space is light and airy with a vaulted ceiling and doors onto the rear terrace. Used as an everyday dining area, it could be a soft seating space. At the end of the kitchen is a utility room with a gas fired boiler and external door.

On the first floor there are four double bedrooms: three of these enjoy double aspects and three also have southerly, far-reaching views. There is a family bathroom with separate shower adjacent to the principal bedroom and a further bathroom and separate W.C.

Outside
To the front of the property there is a wall with hedging and a double gate leading into the parking area and giving access to a detached garage with power and light.

To the east side of the property there is a useful space with a door into the utility room.

A notable feature is the south-facing rear garden which has a very gentle sloping lawn with a number of mature trees and a variety of shrubs. A really lovely space! The total plot extends to just over 1/3 acre.
