This bright, cosy and contemporary conversion of an old boathouse has a pretty courtyard garden and garage parking. It is conveniently set in a quiet but central location close to the town centre and quay of the popular coastal town of Wells-next-the-Sea.
Newgate Boathouse is a favourite with our guests, not least for its location. Cleverly designed and furnished to make best use of limited space, quality fixtures and fittings throughout create a great little couples hideaway all year round. French doors with a Juliette balcony and skylights make this a bright but relaxing space. All the facilities you could need are cleverly incorporated, including a modern shower room, washing machine, tumble drier and freezer, as well as wifi and entertainment.
With most of the accommodation on the first floor, you have the added benefit of a parking space for a medium sized vehicle in the garage beneath (see dimensions below) - a rarity in Wells! Many guests park up and hardly use their car all week as there's so much on the doorstep, within easy ‘coastlink' bus access or bring your bikes for secure garage storage.
This bijou detached property allows couples to enjoy plenty of privacy too, with a pretty sheltered courtyard garden to the rear, which is ideal for enjoying a morning coffee and reading the newspaper or dining alfresco on warmer days.
Additional Information: Sorry no pets. This property is unable to accommodate children.
