This two-bedroom terrace house presents a notable opportunity for renovation and investment, particularly appealing to those looking to enter the property market or expand their portfolio. Situated within a short distance to the city center, the property features an allocated parking space and a modest garden, adding convenience for urban living. The home has been cherished by the same owner for over 26 years, and while it retains its original charm, it is primed for cosmetic updates and the installation of central heating.

The kitchen/dining area overlooks the enclosed rear garden and is equipped with various units and space for appliances, making it ideal for those who enjoy cooking and entertaining. Upstairs, you'll find two generously sized double bedrooms. One bedroom includes an airing cupboard and overlooks the garden, while the larger bedroom boasts a pleasant view of the street. The bathroom is functional with a bath featuring a power shower overhead. Outside, the low-maintenance garden includes an area of lawn along with climbing plants and a patio — perfect for outdoor seating arrangements. Located in the charming City of Wells, this property benefits from access to numerous local amenities including supermarkets, twice-weekly markets, leisure facilities, and dining options. Families will appreciate proximity to both primary and secondary state schools as well as renowned independent schools like Wells Cathedral School and Millfield School. For commuters or those who enjoy exploring further afield, Castle Cary train station is only twelve miles away with direct services to London Paddington. Additionally, both Bath and Bristol are conveniently located about 20 miles from this address. With freehold tenure confirmed and essential services such as mains drainage, water, gas, and electricity all connected, this property stands as an excellent canvas for those ready to make it their own or capitalize on its rental potential.
