Rowdens Road, Wells, BA5

DESCRIPTION
Situated within a short, level walk of the city centre, this spacious four-bedroom period terraced home has been thoughtfully extended to create a superb open-plan kitchen/dining/family space along with a separate sitting room. The property benefits from a south-facing garden and off-road parking, making it an ideal family home.

The ground floor accommodation comprises a bright and welcoming sitting room to the front, featuring a square bay window overlooking the front garden, allowing natural light to flood the space. To the rear, the property has been extended to provide an open-plan kitchen/dining/family room, forming the true heart of the home. This versatile space enjoys an abundance of natural light and is finished with oak flooring throughout. The seating area offers a cosy space with a wood-burning stove as its focal point, along with useful understairs storage. The kitchen is fitted with a range of cream gloss units topped with wooden worktops, and benefits from an integrated undercounter fridge and dishwasher, along with space for a range cooker. The dining area, enhanced by two Velux windows above, comfortably accommodates a table for eight to ten people, making it ideal for entertaining. To the rear, a useful utility room and a modern shower room are accessed, the latter comprising a large shower cubicle, WC, wash basin and heated towel radiator. A glazed door from the dining area leads out to a fenced rear section currently used for storage, with a gate providing access to the driveway beyond.

To the first floor are three well-proportioned bedrooms and the family bathroom. Two of the bedrooms are generous doubles, with one positioned to the front enjoying a pleasant southerly aspect over the garden, while the second double overlooks the rear. The third bedroom, also to the rear, is a spacious single or small double and is currently arranged as a home office with a desk and single bed. The family bathroom comprises a ‘P’ shaped bath with shower over, WC, wash basin and a heated towel radiator. Stairs rise to the second floor, where a further double bedroom can be found. This well-sized room benefits from a Velux window, allowing for plenty of natural light, along with useful eaves storage.
