About this property

SUMMARY:
A traditional North Norfolk cottage, Dowleys Cottage offers a wonderful opportunity for someone new to make it their ideal home. Situated within walking distance of the Quay and all of the amenities and attractions that Wells has to offer, the property is being offered for sale with no onward chain and also benefits from planning consent (PF/24/2408) to extend the property to rear.  

GROUND FLOOR:
As you step through the front door, you are greeted by an open-plan living/dining room, which is a well-proportioned space filled with natural light, thanks to its dual-aspect windows. An open fireplace creates a charming focal point and adds both warmth and character to the cottage.
To the rear of the property is a kitchen, which leads directly out to the garden. Completing the ground floor is a W.C. - a welcome addition for a cottage of this age.

The neighbouring property has added a lovely rear extension, highlighting the excellent potential for someone to create something similar here, subject to necessary consents.  

FIRST FLOOR:
A bright and airy landing leads to two double bedrooms and the family bathroom. The main bedroom benefits from a feature fireplace, adding further appeal to the property. The first-floor bathroom is another rare and highly desirable feature, with a large adjoining boiler room offering exciting options for reconfiguration - perfect for someone with vision. Both bedrooms enjoy wonderful views - a delightful bonus for a cottage of this character and location.  

OUTSIDE:
The property enjoys an enclosed, L-shaped rear garden. Much like the cottage itself, this outdoor space is brimming with potential - ideal for those who enjoy transforming a garden into something special. Few properties in such a central position benefit from a garden of this size and shape, making it a truly valuable feature.  

SERVICES:
All mains services are connected to the property.

Central heating is gas fired. 

DISTRICT COUNCIL: North Norfolk.
Council Tax Band: C. 

LOCATION:
Wells-next-the-Sea is one of the loveliest towns on the North Norfolk Coast. Once a busy commercial port and manufacturing town between the 16th and 20th century and now a popular seaside resort for holidaymakers. Almost the entire 50 mile stretch of coastline from Snettisham in the west to Mundesley in the east is designated as an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Wells is a perfectly located base from which to explore this.
 
From the sweeping sandy beach, bordered by pinewoods and colourful beach huts, to the bustling harbour, where you'll find children crabbing on the quay, opposite the finest fish and chips on the coast, to the pretty leafy green known as 'The Buttlands' with its warm & welcoming taverns - Wells is the perfect, family friendly seaside destination.
 
There are plenty of amenities including schools, a doctor's surgery, dentist, library, food stores, pubs and restaurants, as well as interesting independent boutiques and galleries. The Maltings is a venue for art, theatre and cinema and the vibrant community organises year-round events to help keep this seaside town one of the most desirable places to live in Norfolk.
