Description

This beautifully maintained semi-detached home is perfect for a variety of buyers, offering a move-in ready finish, immaculate presentation throughout, a lovely garden, and three bedrooms. Located in the highly sought-after area of Hoole, one of Chester's most desirable suburbs, it is within walking distance to the centre of Hoole and just a bit further to the City Centre. Nearby network links and excellent schooling add to its appeal.
Upon entering, you are welcomed by an open porch that leads through the front door into the hall, featuring a staircase to the first floor and doors leading to the kitchen and lounge. The kitchen situated to the rear is fitted with an attractive arrangement of wall and base units, integral appliances, and a window overlooking the lovely garden. The lounge is spacious and bright, thanks to its dual aspect, with an internal door providing convenient access to the kitchen. From the kitchen, you are led into the sizable dining room, which also benefits from a dual aspect, making it light and airy. This room was cleverly extended and includes the welcomed addition of a conservatory, offering flexibility for busy family life. To the first floor are the three bedrooms; two of which are doubles and benefit from having fitted wardrobes and the family bathroom which has been fitted with a white three-piece suite and benefits from a shower over the bath.
The property benefits from a lovely set back position to offer a lawn frontage to the right boarded by shrubbery and driveway to the left, whilst to the rear the garden has a perfect mix of lawn and patio area for sitting and soaking up the sun. So, if you are thinking that you like the idea of being in Hoole, but you need parking and a garden, plus a home that is ready to move into, well don’t think for too long, just give us a call and we can show you the home you have been seeking with NO ONWARD CHAIN!

The Seller’s View!
We use this as a great marketing addition! Buyers love hearing about the sellers own personal experience of owning the property, whether it be the great neighbours, the short walk to amenities, a garden that gets the sun until it goes down. It’s all those things that you as sellers can get across better than we can, after all, you’ve lived there! If you could put together some comments and pop them into the ‘amendments’ box, that would be fantastic.
