This exceptional home exudes charm and character, dating in parts to circa 14th century, it has been meticulously renovated by the current owners to create a very special and distinctive home, professionally interior styled throughout with contrasting contemporary influences. The property has an intriguing history, retaining the name that references its former guise, a pub where the patron's horses were fed with “horse bread loaves” to revitalise them for their onward journey.

Notable features include elegant panelled and shuttered windows and polished timber flooring with an expanse of beautifully aged and worn flagstones that tell a tale of this historic property. The home is certainly of a sufficient scale to enjoy elegant entertaining, whether in the bright, spacious high ceiling reception rooms or the delightfully sheltered and sunny, central courtyard garden, a private and restful oasis in the heart of this vibrant city. The second sitting room features the original oak beamed ceiling, an impressively proportioned fireplace with wood burning stove perfect for cosy relaxed evenings at home. Off which, is a sleek, contemporary kitchen where glazed doors invite you out to the terrace. Opposite is the garden room study, a peaceful retreat for quiet contemplation, also enjoying the view into the outside space.

An exposed timber tread staircase rises through all floors, on the lower first floor there are two spacious double bedrooms and on the upper first floor the principal suite with dressing room and elegant contemporary walk-in ensuite shower room. The family bathroom with a roll edge bath and shower is of a generous size. There are two further bedrooms on the second floor with charming Cathedral and city rooftop views and a second ensuite. Which, could be a superb independent living space for a family member or self-contained annexe.

An existing two storey store room is integral to the property but presently unused, which could be reintroduced into the accommodation area, accessed from the sitting room, providing space for a number of uses such as a library or wine store.

Outside, the house wraps around the pretty, totally private but sunny courtyard, accessed from the study, kitchen and hallway it makes a fabulous outside room. Tucked away is a small bin and garden store.
