Cooks cottage dates back as far as the early 18th century with other parts of 19th. We believe that the cottage would have been part of the servants quarters for one main house which is now 6 and 8 Chamberlain Street. there are a wealth of original features including fireplaces, windows and a bread oven.

The front door of the cottage leads into an entrance hall with Georgian fan window, stairs to the first floor and from this into a good sized lounge which was once the original kitchen and still retains many original features, there is also the original fire surround with gas fire insert.

The kitchen has a range of bespoke pine wall and floor units with oak work surfaces over, with electric oven and hob and a wonderful island unit, original bread oven, and a useful recessed arched open shelving space together with double doors leading into a rear lobby area with door into the garden. There is a separate utility room with plumbing for washing machine, obscure window overlooking the courtyard with the old wood lintel and shelves.

On this floor is also a good sized room which could be used as a dinging room/or double bedroom with three windows making this a really delightful and light space and a half glazed door leading into the garden.
Also on this floor is the spacious family bathroom which comprises white suite with separate shower and retains many of the houses period features. A door from the bathroom leads to a wonderful storage area which would make an ideal wine cellar.

On the first floor is the master bedroom with sash window and original wood shutters, feature Victorian style fireplace and an airing cupboard. The second bedroom is a single and has wonderful views over the rear garden. Also on the floor is a cloakroom with low level WC, pedestal wash hand basin and heated town rail.

Outside is the enchanting rear cottage style garden which has a range of mature shrubs and perennials with a pretty patio area to the beauty of these attractive gardens. At the end of the garden is an allocated parking space.


Wells in Somerset is an unspoilt market town of outstanding beauty, located in rolling countryside, at the foot of the Mendip Hills. Steeped in history, it is England's smallest city, and one of the most beautiful. Although much of the glory of Wells lies in the past, it is very much a city of the present day, a busy market town, and an educational and commercial centre.


A gem and viewing is essential, so call Jean, Wendy or Lauren to arrange an appointment.
