There are four major supermarkets on the edge of the city. Wells Leisure Centre has the usual facilities of gym and swimming pool to add to Wells Rugby Club, Tennis club, Bowling club and Golf course. Throughout the year Wells hosts festivals for Music, Literature, Art and Food, and has twinned links with Burgundy, the Rhineland and Northern Italy. There are many societies and clubs for those who would like to join a diverse social community.

The major towns of the area, Bristol, Bath, Taunton and Yeovil are all within commuting distance. There are excellent state & independent schools in the area which include several good primary schools, Wells Blue School, Strode College, Wells Cathedral School, All Hallows, Downside and Millfield.Wells is a transport hub for bus services, including daily services to London. Main line trains run from Castle Cary (25 minutes drive) and Bristol International Airport is 35 minutes drive away.
Accommodation
Milton Lane is one of the best residential areas of Wells with very little through traffic. It also has the benefit of being within walking distance of the schools (inc. Blue and Cathedral), the Cathedral itself and the Market Place.No 27 is approached directly from Milton Lane and the driveway opens to a large gravelled parking area flanked by the house and the double garage and bordered by flowerbeds.The house has a striking appearance being built in 1931 in an Arts & Craft style with a distinctive and modern architectural design with steep pitched roof lines and beautiful Bridgwater green roofing tiles. This style was continued when the house was extended in recent years.Around 2003 a south wing was added which included a full height reception hall; a large triple aspect sitting room and a master bedroom suite.In 2008 the northern part of the house was extended to provide additional accommodation and to offer the opportunity for an annexe to be created if needed.
*
Internally the house works extremely well and original details are complemented by modern appointments including gas central heating. The front door opens into a two storey galleried hall which has a double aspect with French door to the south west facing garden and Velux roof lights. The sitting rom has a triple aspect with a limestone fireplace, a multi fuel stove and two sets of double French doors opening to the garden. The inner hall has an original parquet floor, a cloaks cupboard and a cloakroom with a hand basin and wc. The dining room also has a triple aspect with double French doors to the garden. The study is a quiet comfortable room with fitted bookshelves. Door into the KITCHEN. The extended dual aspect kitchen has a tiled floor, an extensive range of wall and floor units, work surfaces, tiled splash backs, 2 separates sink units and a free standing electric cooker with an extractor above.
**
Off the kitchen is a utility room with a tiled floor, sink unit, work surface, space and plumbing for washing machines, a large walk in store, doors to the gardens and into the integral garage. A hallway from the utility room to the garden room gives access to the 4th reception room which is the snug or breakfast room. The integral garage has two electric up and over doors, a large safe, the Valiant gas fired central heating boiler and plenty of storage space. NB The utility room and its store room together with the snug and perhaps the study provide ample space for the creation of an annexe if required - subject to all necessary consents.
