Situated in a convenient location on the outskirts of Chester, this property boasts period charm alongside contemporary comforts, making it an ideal residence for families or those seeking a stylish and versatile living space.
Upon entering, you’re welcomed into a beautifully proportioned entrance hall, adorned with striking black and white checkered tiled flooring. The original period staircase, featuring unique decorative wrought iron spindles, adds to the home’s distinctive character. This leads to the large living room with two original wrought iron fireplaces, and a charming bay window that provides an abundance of natural light. Double doors open out to the patio and seamlessly connect this space to the beautifully landscaped garden and patio area, creating a wonderful indoor-outdoor flow.
The heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen/dining/family room, providing a flexible and social space for modern living. Thoughtfully designed, this area benefits from double doors leading to the patio and garden, a stylish breakfast bar, fitted storage cupboards, and an understairs store. The kitchen itself is finished with granite work surfaces, and includes an integrated dishwasher, a range oven, an extractor fan, and a feature tiled splashback.

The garden is framed by a brick-walled boundary, adding a touch of character. Additionally, a practical storage shed provides plumbing for a washing machine and ample storage solutions.
