Property Description: Guide Price £900,000 - £925,000. This stunning Grade II listed house with its origins in the 14th Century and extended in the 15th century, was originally used as an Inn and was where the horses would have been fed hence its unusual name The Three Horse Loaves. It has been beautifully enhanced by the current owners to create a large elegant home perfect for entertaining. Located in the ancient city of Wells, just a short walk from the magnificent Cathedral.


The property has been stylishly renovated, seamlessly combining the old with the new. There are notable original features throughout that include flagstone flooring through much of the downstairs, polished floorboards, oak beamed ceilings, fireplaces (including a wood burner), large windows with wooden shutters allowing the light to flood in, high ceilings and French doors opening to the pretty secluded terrace which perfectly captures the sun.


From the hallway there is a large reception room to one side with two large windows and a feature fireplace. Down the ancient flagstone steps to a spacious light second reception room which has a woodburner, within the older part of the house that leads on through to the kitchen.


The kitchen has a contemporary feel while still retaining the character of the house and connects to the pretty garden through French doors. There are extensive, quality fittings which maximise the use of the space. There are all the usual appliances that you would expect to find including an integrated fridge and freezer, a gas range and a dishwasher. There is also a useful laundry/utility room off to one side of the kitchen as well as a further door leading to a garden store and bin storage area.


In addition, to the ground floor, is the study/snug again with French doors out to the terrace and a downstairs cloakroom.


Upstairs on the first floor there are three large double bedrooms one with an en-suite shower room and a dressing room. The bedrooms have feature fireplaces and plenty of space for wardrobes and additional furniture. From the bedrooms at the front you capture the view of the Cathedral. The family bathroom is fitted with a freestanding bath with a shower over.


To the top floor, there are a further two double bedrooms, one with a fabulous en-suite shower room.


Outside: A pretty sunny secluded courtyard garden can be accessed from the kitchen, study and the hallway thus creating an additional entertaining outside "room" along with the storage area tucked away to one side.


There is an existing two storey store room to one side of the property that is currently unused but could be incorporated into the main house, subject to the necessary consents, to create a further room.


There is the potential to continue to lease a garage nearby should this be of interest.


Location: The picturesque city of Wells has a bustling High Street and provides a range of local amenities with four supermarkets (Waitrose being the closest), a cinema, leisure centre, numerous coffee shops, pubs and restaurants to choose from, several dentists and doctors, some fabulous independent shops and even some art shops for those seeking something a little different. There are also famous historical landmarks such as the Cathedral and Bishop's Palace, as well as the popular twice weekly produce market and Cedars Hall offering a range of cultural events throughout the year. There are excellent state schools in the vicinity, including Stoberry Park School, St Cuthbert's CofE Junior School, St Joseph and St Teresa Catholic Primary School and The Blue School as well as independent schools including Wells Cathedral School on your doorstep. All Hallows Prep School, Downside and Millfield are just a short drive away. Wells also benefits from being close enough to Glastonbury Festival to qualify its residents for the sale of local tickets.
