Completed in March 2020, Freeholders is a unique new property with far-reaching views. Living accommodation is on the first floor and has beautiful oak flooring throughout. The open plan living/dining/kitchen area has a wall of windows overlooking the creek. A large dining table, huge squishy sofa and well-equipped kitchen with a fully controllable Electrickit Aga, make this a comfortable and convivial space. The two bedrooms have kingsized beds and original features. The bedroom at the front of the house has a drop down window allowing guests to lounge in bed and admire the marshes. The first floor bathroom has a bath with shower and downstairs there is an additional shower room. A very special feature of this property is the secluded roof terrace with 360 degree views, furniture for lounging and dining, and a dumbwaiter to bring food and drink from the kitchen. There is a car parking space opposite the house.
NB If you need more beds (up to 6) and would like to bring your canine companion on holiday, have a look at our next-door property, Hampden House, which has a lovely terrace overlooking the creek. Homeaway listing 6518975.
UPDATE - Freeholders has just won a commendation in the American Institute of Architects awards for 2021:
AIA UK 2021 Virtual Design Awards Gala
…Next is special commendation in the Professional Practice Small Projects category.
Jane Duncan - Judge:
“I am given the great and wonderful task of giving a special commendation in the professional practice small projects category and that commendation goes to Freeholders by Mole Architects. This is a low-key and fantastically contextual design for a house which is so beautifully detailed and so quiet you could actually walk by it without noticing it was there, but it shows masterful craftsmanship, a wonderful and exquisitely flowing design for the plan and the section on a really awkward site. The whole jury was knocked out in particular by the living space and that absolutely brilliantly framed view - to die for and the ceiling height which really just set it off - we all just wanted to live there! Congratulations!”
Ian Bramwell - Mole Architects:
“Well thank you so much it's a real honour to accept this award from the Institute for
Freeholders. Freeholders was a wonderful project to be involved in and is located in such an exceptional site on the waterfront in Wells-Next-The-Sea, in the middle of a conservation area. Of course projects like this just don't happen without exceptional clients and Jon and Jane had vision, aspiration and ambition to produce something out of the ordinary and they really pushed us to design and deliver a building that exceeded their expectations - so thank you Jon and Jane.
