Situated on the 3rd floor of a 15th century historic town house with communal access, this spacious Studio is self contained. This amazing old building has many exposed timbers, some dating back to the 12th century making them the oldest on record in Chester.

Within the Studio there large bathroom with bath and overhead shower. A modern kitchenette, a seating area with Freeview TV, a comfortable double bed.

There is communal access to the building and the Studio has its own front door.

The Kings Studios is at the bottom end of Lower Bridge Street, next door to the Bear & Billet Pub. It is a stone's throw to the River Dee.

The Three Kings Studios are housed in a grade two listed building which dates from the mid 15th century.

This building is constructed around a massive inner oak frame which incorporates a thirty foot cross beam (9.1m) and a vertical timber column over eighteen and a half feet high (5.6m).

Throughout the premises the timber frames and roof trusses are exposed with many of the panels retaining their original wattle and daub infill.

One of the stairwell timbers has recently been dated as early 12th century making it the oldest to date in Chester.

The building was thought originally to have been the tithe store of the Earl of Shrewsbury who at one time owned the entire block in which this property stands.

He held the title “Sergeant of Bridgegate” with the right to take a toll from carts using the Old Dee Bridge, the toll being three coins of the period each of which bore the King’s head, hence the building's present name.

A recent survey suggests that Chester’s famous Rows might have extended to this part of the city, but the earliest documented evidence is an engraving by Bateman of 1816 showing the property with twin gables.

Over the door is a sign board which reads “Dealers in Tea and Coffee”. The Georgian façade was added at the beginning of the 19th century after which it was sold by the Shrewsbury Estate under the “Act of 1862”

Since then the building has been put to various uses from a private dwelling to wine merchants, refreshment rooms, bespoke tailors and now, rather appropriately as “The Three Kings Studios – bespoke accommodation”

We hope you enjoy your visit here with us. To our regulars thank you for your valued custom, and to our visitors enjoy your stay in Chester.

Location was great
The location was great right in the middle of Chester. Room could have been a little bit cleaner. Bathroom smelled moldy. The tub is hard to get in and out of. No bars to hold onto. Not a place if you have any physical handicaps.
