The Anchorage is a detached 3/4 bedroom house in, what can only be described as, the most enviable location in Wells-next-the-Sea. East Quay, up until around 1963, was once the town's centre for fishing, brick making, coal storage and locals' allotments. The railway traversed the Quay with horses drawing the carriages from almost exactly where The Anchorage now sits, up to the coal yards at the south end of the Quay.
East Quay is now a cul-de-sac to motor vehicles with the coastal path going east to Stiffkey and beyond towards Blakeney.
It is a road with spectacular views across the creeks and saltmarshes down towards the pinewoods, Lifeboat Station, East Hills and the sea - a haven for wading and migratory birds who live happily alongside the sailing and fishing fraternity.
Built in the mid 50s of red brick with a pantile roof, the house has been in the same family for some 25 years. Over time they have made many improvements including double glazing , central heating and the addition of a ground floor Bedroom, Shower Room and Garden Room. It further benefits from a large Garage/Boat Store and attractive south facing garden. In such a prestigious part of town, properties rarely come onto the market.
