Property Description: Guide Price £280,000 - £290,000. Set on the popular east side of Wells, this immaculately presented two bed semi-detached bungalow offers single-story living with an open plan feel and an enclosed garden at the rear. The house is ideally placed a stone's throw away from local amenities and within easy walking distance of the historic city centre, while also enjoying close proximity to the rolling Somerset countryside - perfectly balancing rural life with the convenience of a vibrant, well-connected community.
Through the front door, the modern kitchen is beautifully bright where white cabinetry and granite style worktops create a clean, contemporary aesthetic. A dual electric oven and a ceramic hob are neatly integrated, with space for a fridge-freezer beneath the counter and plumbing for a washing machine. There is a storage cupboard near the front door to store coats and shoes and a part-glazed door opens to a passageway that leads to the rear garden. A half wall subtly delineates the kitchen from the adjacent sitting/dining room, allowing for a sense of openness without sacrificing valuable workspace. This living area faces south and is bathed in natural light throughout the day. At its heart stands a striking Chilli Penguin wood burner in charred red iron, set beneath a polished stainless steel flue - an eye-catching modern centrepiece that complements the home's minimal aesthetic.
Two double bedrooms lie at the rear of the property, both enjoying views of the rear garden and fitted with bespoke built-in storage. The second bedroom is currently configured as a study and has a half wall opening into the principal bedroom, offering flexibility of use. The bathroom is partly tiled and features a bath with overhead shower.
Outside: To the front, a gently sloping lawn, interspersed with trees and bordered by planting, sets the house back from the street. Stone steps ascend alongside the lawn to the front entrance, whilst a side gate opens to a pathway that runs the length of the house, leading to the enclosed rear garden.
At the rear, the garden unfolds across a gentle incline, composed of a central lawn framed by two paved terraces - each at a different level and connected by a run of stone steps. The upper terrace enjoys an elevated vantage point, ideal for alfresco dining, while the lower terrace offers a more sheltered corner to relax.
Ample on-street parking is available nearby.
