The House

The Pilchard is a wonderful large home, stylishly furnished and comfortable. It is the perfect place to share with family and friends and create holiday memories to last a lifetime. The house is arranged over three floors; with a large open plan kitchen / diner, bathroom and access to the enclosed rear deck on the ground floor. On the first floor is a double bedroom and shower room and the spacious living room; and on the top floor are three further bedrooms, two with twin beds and one double bedroom and a family bathroom.

You enter the house from the parking area to the front, into the warmth of the sociable kitchen/dining room. There is a large dining table and eight chairs and a comfy sofa to relax on with the morning paper or sip on a glass of something delicious whilst the cooks work their magic in the kitchen. The modern kitchen is well equipped and features granite work tops, retro style fridge freezer, integral microwave, dishwasher, washer/dryer machine, electric cooker, television and DVD player. The room is flooded with natural light from the two sets of doors to the front and the window to the rear and alongside the sofa at one end there are two chairs at the other, looking out over the fields beyond.

Also on the ground floor is a large bathroom, which features a full size bath and separate walk-in shower, WC and wash hand basin. Across the hallway is a door that leads out to the enclosed rear deck with lovely views out over the saltmarsh beyond.

Upstairs on the first floor is the sitting room. Another bright and spacious room with a large window and bi-fold doors opening onto a Juliet balcony and views across Mainsail Yard towards the harbour. There are two funky red leather sofas and three armchairs, so plenty of space for everyone to sit together to watch a movie or cosy up around the electric stove in the colder months.

Adjacent to the sitting room is the first double bedroom, with a double bed, bedside tables, chest of drawers, wardrobe and lovely views out over the saltmarsh towards Lady Anne's Drive. Directly opposite the bedroom is the shower room with a walk-in shower enclosure and mains pressure shower.

On the second floor are three further bedrooms and a family bathroom. The first of the twin rooms has wonderful antique sleigh single beds and views out to the rear, a bedside table and cupboard with shelving. The second twin room has standard 3ft single beds, bedside tables, chest of drawers, wardrobe and looks out to the front of the house. The last bedroom on this floor has a double bed, bedside tables, chest of drawers, armchair, wardrobe all antique French painted furniture and a window to the front of the house. All the bedrooms, like the rest of the house are thoughtfully styled with co-ordinating fabrics and colours.

The family bathroom on the second floor has a bath, WC and wash hand basin.

Outside

There is a private gated parking area immediately outside the house with space for two cars.
To the rear of the house is the enclosed deck area, with two tables and chairs enabling everyone to enjoy some al-fesco dining in the summer, or a few moments to sit and enjoy the fresh air and drink in the view.

Location

The Pilchard is located on the desirable development of Mainsail Yard in Wells-Next-The-Sea, with views over the marshes and within walking distance to the Town Centre and Quayside we feel this offers a perfect location to have your holiday.

Wells beach is famous for it's striking scenery and beach huts, you will also find wonderful pinewood walks along to Holkham, a bustling quayside with fab place to eat and a great park for the children.

The town has great facilities including a supermarket, Independent shops and The Maltings, a popular arts venue where films, talks, shows and more are regularly held.

It’s a walk from the town to the beach but there’s a great dog-friendly cafe there and a large car park. In the town, around the harbour with its large 19th century granary and over hanging gantry, is French’s, a popular place for fish and chips, Wells deli with fab sandwiches, and the Golden Fleece where you can enjoy a pint and a chat.


Located off the Holkham Road just after the Car Park/Coach Park on the left.

Walking distance to quay: 0.3 miles
Walking distance to the beach: 1.3 miles
Distance to local co-op: 0.7 miles
Distance to larger supermarkets in Fakenham 10.3 miles
Distance to Brancaster Golf Course 12 miles

Perfect stay for a multi generation family, lots of space for everyone and good for young kids too. Having stayed in wells before I would say this is the best place given the size of the house, parking for two cars but still walkable to the beach, town etc. Wells is a brilliant place for kids, and you can actually see the amazing playground from the property. We will certainly stay here again when we inevitably return. Only thing I would say about the property is that it doesn’t include towels - only a small issue but would be better to have them included.

It's a really lovely house, spacious and comfortable, with a well-equipped kitchen. The location is perfect, right in Wells and just a few minutes walk from the harbour. There is lots to do in and around Wells, we hired bikes, had a boat trip to see the seals, went mackerel fishing and went on the Wells to Walsingham railway. Then there are the beaches, delicious sea food from Frary's stall and great fish and chips. All in all a really good holiday.
