About this property
A picture-perfect house situated in the heart of a busy little city – the smallest in England. Dating from the 15th Century, this Grade II listed house lies within the Liberty of the Cathedral which it overlooks and has been refurbished with stylish flair to create a modern and very comfortable holiday home.
Accessed via a wrought iron gate into the south facing front garden with wonderful cathedral views. A backdoor from the kitchen leads into a small courtyard and rear entrance, leading to the parking space at the rear.
The famous West Front of the Cathedral provides a backdrop to this two storey terraced property, from where everything the city has to offer is within easy walking distance. Wells lies on the southern tip of a triangle with Bath and Bristol to the north. The 13th Century Cathedral, with 300 statues on the spectacular West Front, is the jewel of the city but there are many other visitor attractions including the nearby 14th Century moated Bishop’s Palace and the Vicars Close – said to be the oldest continually inhabited street in Europe. However, the modern world is here too, including a bustling twice weekly farmers' market selling a wide variety of local produce. If you don’t want to cook, there are also plenty of cafes and restaurants in the town’s pretty streets.
Additional Information:
Fabulous location, central to all Wells has to offer.

Infant under 6 months of age in own moses basket welcome. Children over 11 years are welcome.

Lovely house in prime location overlooking the Cathedral Green in Wells. Highly recommended - book early to secure! Rural Retreats were very quick to sort out a problem we had - all credit to them. Only wish for a proper dining table in front room overlooking Cathedral Green rather than having it as a second sitting room which is really not needed for 4 people. Currently only a small eating area in kitchen at the back. If this was changed the place would be absolutely perfect.

A fabulous house in the perfect location. Immaculately clean and furnished. Extremely generous hamper. The only downside was that the table in the kitchen was very uncomfortable to sit at, even for just 2 people.
