luxury real estate for sale Wells, United Kingdom

Set within peaceful and beautiful countryside, yet just a short distance from Cheddar and Wells, The Cedars is a distinguished detached Georgian home that blends historic character with the comfort and ease of modern family living. Sitting just above the village, the house enjoys wide views across the Mendips, a strong sense of privacy and a wonderfully calm, elevated outlook. The current owner has lived at The Cedars for thirty-one years, drawn initially by the light-filled rooms, generous bay windows, elegant proportions and the seclusion created by the gardens. Over the years, the house has been carefully and sympathetically enhanced, always with respect for its Georgian heritage. Improvements include reroofing, the addition of a substantial conservatory to one side of the house, and the creation of two guest bathrooms to the other. Throughout, the emphasis has been on preserving character while ensuring the house works effortlessly for modern family life and entertaining. At the heart of the home, the kitchen is designed for easy, everyday living and has long been the setting for relaxed, chatty family meals. In contrast, the formal dining room, with its strong Georgian presence, comfortably seats fourteen and has hosted countless memorable occasions. The owner fondly recalls putting the finishing touches to meals in the kitchen while hearing gales of laughter drifting through from the dining room, a reminder that this is a house at its very best when full of people. The drawing room offers a cosy winter retreat, with a welcoming fireplace and calming views across the walled garden. The study is a particular favourite: bright and sunny, opening directly onto the patio, it is a space where the outside is easily invited in. It has proved a wonderful place to work, read or simply sit and enjoy the surroundings. Set within approximately 1.19 acres, the gardens are a defining feature and a true extension of the house. Sheltered and warm, the established walled garden has been the backdrop to countless al fresco meals and children’s games, while also providing ideal conditions for growing vegetables. Beyond, mature lawns, established planting and trees lead to an orchard at the far end of the garden, offering generous harvests and a peaceful place to pause and take in the beauty of the setting. A range of outbuildings adds further flexibility, offering potential for studios, workshops, storage or home offices. Despite its tranquil, countryside feel, The Cedars is far from isolated. It is in the heart of Cross village which has strong sense of community, while Cheddar, Wells and Bristol are all easily accessible. From the doorstep, local lanes and footpaths lead into the wider Mendip landscape, with Crook Peak, King’s Wood and the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty offering superb walking and outdoor pursuits. Village-level walks and the Strawberry Line provide gentler routes suitable for all ages. The location is particularly appealing for families, with a good selection of well-regarded state and independent schools nearby, along with everyday amenities, independent shops, cafés and local pubs. Road, rail and airport connections further enhance convenience for both work and leisure. Warm, welcoming and deeply loved, The Cedars has been a cherished family home for more than three decades. While the time has come for the owner to downsize, they will miss the light, space, gardens and the excellent neighbours within this established community. The Cedars now offers a rare opportunity for new owners to personalise a beautiful Georgian house and begin the next chapter in a home that has been lived in and loved.

An Architectural and Historical Landmark of Exceptional Grandeur. Step into a piece of English history at Barrow Court, a magnificent Grade II* listed country house that dates back to the 12th century. Originally built as a Benedictine nunnery, this stunning residence has undergone numerous transformations throughout the centuries, all while retaining its timeless elegance and architectural significance. The home’s rich past includes ownership by John Drew, a Bristol merchant who received the property from King Henry VIII following the Dissolution of the Monasteries. In the late 19th century, the estate was meticulously restored and expanded by Henry Martin Gibbs, who transformed it into the Jacobean masterpiece that stands today. Under his ownership, the renowned garden designer Francis Inigo Thomas was commissioned to design the spectacular Parterre and formal gardens, which remain a defining feature of the setting. Barrow Court has also attracted cultural interest in more recent years. Its striking architecture and historic authenticity led to the property being featured in the acclaimed BBC drama Wolf Hall, where it served as the stand-in for Hampton Court Palace, highlighting its remarkable period character and cinematic presence. No.1–3 Barrow Court forms the principal portion of the historic Barrow Court Estate, which was thoughtfully divided into a collection of private residences in the 1970s. While the estate now comprises a small enclave of around nineteen homes, this property occupies the most architecturally significant and imposing section of the original mansion. Its position within the estate allows it to retain the presence, scale, and grandeur of a stately home, while benefiting from a tranquil, community-like setting. The home underwent a sensitive restoration in the 1980s, carefully reviving its many period details. From the moment you step inside, you are greeted by an array of exceptional architectural features: intricate plasterwork, stone mullioned windows, stately fireplaces, the remarkable Jacobean staircase, and decorative friezes. The magnificent Great Hall is a centrepiece of the property, showcasing its impressive Corinthian fireplace and the Gibbs family coat of arms. The formal reception rooms offer a balance of majestic entertaining spaces and more intimate family rooms. Highlights include the raised drawing room, adorned with rich panelling and an arabesque ceiling, and the first-floor Solar, an exquisite example of historic craftsmanship. The first floor hosts a grand principal bedroom suite, alongside additional bedrooms, a music room, and sitting rooms, all with superb period detailing. The second floor features the Long Gallery, complete with wide oak floorboards, and is home to further bedrooms, family bathrooms, and a kitchen. A self-contained apartment and two cellars, including a wine cellar, complete the accommodation. Outside, the Grade II listed gardens, co-designed by Inigo Thomas, extend over 4.25 acres of manicured lawns, terraces, and pavilions. The grounds offer stunning vistas over the surrounding countryside, an elegant obelisk, and statues by Alfred Drury. A lush Arboretum filled with rare and mature trees provides a peaceful retreat. The long, tree-lined driveway enhances the sense of arrival and exclusivity, while the wider rural surroundings remain largely in the ownership of the Gibbs family descendants. Located just 6.5 miles from Bristol’s city centre, No.1–3 Barrow Court offers a peaceful rural setting with excellent access to Bristol Temple Meads, the M5, and a selection of highly regarded schools, farm shops, and country pubs. This is a rare opportunity to own the most significant part of one of North Somerset’s finest historic estates, a home where history, elegance, and luxury converge in a truly remarkable way.

For those with equestrian interests, the setting is particularly appealing, with adjoining paddocks, stabling and an arena creating a ready-made environment for horse owners, while the grounds and outbuildings also lend themselves to a variety of other lifestyle pursuits.

The accommodation has been thoughtfully arranged to make the most of the magnificent outlook, with light-filled rooms and a layout that can evolve with changing needs. There is exciting scope, subject to any necessary consents, to create a self-contained annexe, extend the living accommodation further, or reconfigure parts of the house to suit a growing family or dependent relative. Altogether, this is far more than simply a house with land, it is a home that offers a genuine Somerset country lifestyle, where open views, practical facilities and future potential come together in a truly special setting. SELLERS INSIGHT I fell in love with ‘Sedge Heights’ the moment we drove through the impressive gates and encountered the sweeping drive and impressive views over the Somerset countryside. Upon entering the property, I knew straight away we would be very happy there. The property was light and airy with very spacious, versatile accommodation. I was impressed with the post and rail paddocks, stabling and all weather ménage. I knew my pony would love it and couldn’t wait to have him living ‘on site’. Without delay we put in an offer and was delighted it was accepted. Upon moving in I soon realised there were 3 bird/nature reserves within a 3-mile radius. These are a great place to see nature at its finest within the wonderful Somerset landscape. I will be so sad to leave my beautiful home but am now ready to move on to life’s next adventure. STEP INSIDE Designed with flexibility in mind, Sedge Heights can be enjoyed exactly as it is or adapted to suit a variety of living arrangements. The layout lends itself particularly well to the creation of an accessible ground floor integral annexe for a relative, while, subject to any necessary consents, the two first-floor attic rooms could be converted into more formal first-floor living accommodation.

Subject to any necessary consents, these rooms could be adapted to create even more versatile accommodation.

Sweeping lawns, centred around an attractive water feature, enjoy uninterrupted views across the surrounding countryside.

Also within the yard is a double garage. Immediately behind the house is a further garden area with a fully enclosed swimming pool, offering privacy and safety. Whilst our clients have not used the pool for swimming, they have found it extremely useful for rainwater storage and, with the aid of a pump, have benefited from a free water supply for the gardens. Beyond the yard, a five-bar gate provides excellent access to the paddocks, and at the far end is a purpose-built school/arena with sand and rubber surface.
