Description

Brief Description A superb refurbished Georgian townhouse in a landmark Grade II Listed building on The Buttlands in Wells-next-the-Sea. No chain.
Main Description Square House Maisonette is an exceptional town house offering substantial and beautifully presented accommodation arranged over 3 storeys, set within a landmark Grade II Listed building on The Buttlands, one of Wells-next-the-Sea's most prestigious and sought after addresses. Believed to date back to circa 1825, this distinguished building originally served as the town's doctor's surgery before being thoughtfully converted into grand residences in the 1970s. It now stands proudly among the elegant Georgian and Victorian properties that frame The Buttlands a picturesque, tree-lined square where properties seldom come to market. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a permanent residence or a sophisticated second home in the heart of North Norfolk's coastal charm. The maisonette has been impeccably refurbished by the current owner, blending period character with stylish modern living. With its own private entrance, the property welcomes you into a reception hallway with a boot room and cloakroom, leading to a well appointed kitchen/breakfast room and a generously sized sitting/dining room. On the first floor, a central landing gives access to 3 double bedrooms, including a luxurious principal suite with en suite shower room. There is also a high specification family bathroom and a dedicated laundry room. A real highlight is the versatile basement, comprising 2 rooms with barrel vaulted brick ceilings - ideal for use as a media room, games room, wine cellar, or home office. Further features include gas-fired central heating with traditional style column radiators, tall ceilings with decorative moulded cornices, deep skirting boards, original fireplaces to several rooms and 6 large sash windows offering delightful views over The Buttlands. This exclusive offering combines timeless elegance with modern comfort in one of North Norfolk's most desirable locations.
