No.1 Honeymoon Row is a charming and characterful 300-year-old end of terrace cottage in a super, secluded location, just a few minutes' walk from the quay and harbour and a 20 minute walk to the beach in Wells-next-the-Sea.
With its pretty, sunny, fully-enclosed garden with private access and and just a two minute stroll from the picturesque Buttlands in the heart of Wells, this cottage was formerly a warehouse and temporary home to the Fisher Theatre Company at the turn of the 18/19th century. The gentle incline suggests that No.1 Honeymoon Row was used as the stage area. By 1816 the building had been converted into a row of terraced cottages and that is how it remains today.
This delightful cottage has been extended to include a modern kitchen/diner with doors opening into the garden, perfect for letting sunshine in. The sitting room, which forms part of the original building, is comfortable and cosy and has a large gas 'stove' to warm your toes during winter evenings. A steep traditional Norfolk winder staircase (there is a twisted grab rail top to bottom) leads you up to the first floor which has two double bedrooms, both with comfy beds and a family bathroom.
Even though the cottage is in a quiet and secluded location, you are right in the heart of Wells, meaning that you can explore all the pubs/restaurants/shops and local tourist attractions on foot or bicycle. And with the coasthopper bus route close by, you can literally park up for the week and hop on the bus to take you up and down the coast.
The cottage is good for a family of four and big enough for two couples, but also ideal for someone staying on their own who wants to retreat to a quiet, private space while having all the local amenities only a short walk away.
