Dreaming of Victorian charm with a modern twist? Look no further than this Burcott Road beauty, just a hop, skip, and a jump from the historic heart of Wells. Set over three glorious floors, this four-bedroom family home offers period features galore, light-filled rooms, and a perfect garden for green thumbs or lazy Sundays. On the market with our sponsors, Sandersons, and priced between £425,000 and £450,000, it's ready and waiting to welcome you home.
Step through the charming part-glazed front door, and you're greeted by original floor tiles—a hint of the home's rich history.
The hallway leads to a south-facing sitting room that practically sparkles, with a bay window just made for people-watching or plant displays.
There's an original fireplace here, so picture winter evenings with a cosy fire, a good book, and a mug of hot chocolate (or something stronger). Period details like coving, picture rails, and a ceiling rose give this room that classic Victorian feel with all the modern comforts.
Through an original glazed door, you'll find the dining room, another cosy space with a fireplace and built-in storage. It's the kind of room where you can imagine hosting dinner parties, board game nights, or even a spot of crafting.
The bright, modern kitchen is a showstopper, with high ceilings, Velux windows, and a five-burner Rangemaster ready for culinary creations. There's space for all the essentials—a fridge-freezer, dishwasher, and washer-dryer. Plus, there's a breakfast bar for morning coffee or late-night snacks, and a fully glazed door leading to the back garden, so you can keep an eye on the kids or pets while you cook up a storm.
Upstairs, the first floor offers a generously sized principal bedroom, complete with a feature fireplace and picture rails. It's a room made for lie-ins and lazy mornings, with two large windows and shutters to control the morning light.
There's also a single bedroom, perfect for a child's room, home office, or craft space, complete with garden views and a peek of the Mendips. The family bathroom has a clean, classic feel, just right for a relaxing soak after a day out exploring.
The top floor is a bit of a hideaway, with two double bedrooms tucked under the eaves. Both are light, bright, and brimming with potential. They'd make great kids' rooms, guest spaces, or a home office—whatever suits your fancy.
But it's not just the inside that shines—head out the back door, and you'll find a south-facing garden that's ready for summer BBQs, autumn leaf piles, and spring planting sessions. There's a terrace for al fresco dining, plenty of storage, and a cherry tree that'll make your springtime extra sweet. With espaliered roses, eucalyptus, and even an apple tree, this garden is a little sanctuary in the heart of Wells. The front drive has parking for two cars, so no hunting for a spot on Burcott Road!
And the location? It doesn't get much better. Just half a mile from Wells' lively high street, you're close to independent shops, cafes, pubs, and markets galore.
So, if you're looking for a home that mixes history with modern flair, space with a touch of charm, and convenience with a dash of countryside peace, Burcott Road could be just the ticket.
