About this property
St Athelm Lodge is a stylish development of 31, one and two-bedroom retirement apartments located on West Street, at the heart of this historic Cathedral city. Wells lies sheltered beneath the southern slopes of the Mendip Hills and qualifies as England’s smallest and Somerset’s only city, named after the springs (or wells) which rise within the 14 acres of Bishops Palace grounds.
