About this home
A beautifully presented and characterful 1930s bay-fronted semi-detached home, thoughtfully extended to provide generous family-sized accommodation, positioned along one of Chester's most notable and desirable addresses. Combining period charm with practical modern-day living, this is a particularly special home offering an abundance of space, versatility and individuality. From the outset, the property makes an appealing impression, approached via a good-sized private block-paved driveway providing excellent off-road parking. The low-walled, pebbled front garden is complemented by established shrubbery, creating attractive focal points and enhancing the property's already impressive kerb appeal. Outside power and lighting add further convenience. An attractive double-glazed composite door opens into the welcoming entrance hall, where exposed herringbone wood-block flooring immediately introduces the character that continues throughout the home. There is a staircase rising to the first floor, together with access to the principal reception rooms and breakfast kitchen. Positioned at the front of the property, the lounge is a wonderfully characterful room, retaining its original bay window and picture rails, together with a striking open fireplace featuring a granite surround and hearth. It provides a warm and inviting principal reception space, perfectly suited to relaxing and entertaining alike. The breakfast kitchen is both generous and practical, fitted with an excellent range of shaker-style wooden-fronted units, complementary work surfaces and matching fitments. A breakfast bar with stools provides a convenient everyday dining area, whilst integrated appliances include a range-style oven, ideal for the keen home cook, with stainless steel splashback and extractor over, together with a dishwasher and fridge. Further storage is available within the deep understairs cupboard, whilst the impressive double-storey side extension has created a particularly useful utility room to the ground floor. This provides space and plumbing for additional appliances, an extra sink and an extensive range of fitted storage units and work surfaces. A door provides direct access to the rear garden, whilst an adjoining covered potting shed/outdoor workspace offers useful additional storage and practical versatility. An opening from the kitchen leads into the dining room, which forms part of the rear extension and benefits from a glazed roof, allowing natural light to flood the space. With its westerly aspect, this is an excellent room for family dining and entertaining, whilst also enjoying a pleasant connection with the rear garden. The further living room is positioned off the dining area and again showcases the home's attractive parquet flooring. A raised and recessed fire sits within the chimney breast, creating another comfortable and versatile reception space. Collectively, the ground floor provides a superb range of living accommodation, capable of adapting to the demands of modern family life. Returning to the entrance hall, the staircase rises to a split-level landing arrangement, providing access to four bedrooms. There are three generous double bedrooms alongside a further single bedroom, which is currently utilised as an excellent home office – particularly useful for those seeking dedicated workspace away from the main living areas. All four bedrooms benefit from some form of fitted storage, with further useful storage available from the landing cupboard and loft above. The bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom incorporating a bath with shower over, pedestal wash hand basin and complementary fittings, whilst a separate WC is accessed from the landing. The double-storey side extension is particularly valuable here, providing that all-important additional bedroom and giving the property excellent flexibility. Whether required for a growing family, occasional guests, hobbies or as a dedicated work-from-home space, it offers that extra degree of versatility that is increasingly sought after. Outside, the rear garden is a real delight: mature, well-tended and designed with a combination of attractive landscaping and usable outdoor space. Golden pea-gravelled raised sections lead down towards the lawn, with stocked borders providing colour and interest. A paved patio seating area sits beneath a timber pergola adorned with beautiful established wisteria, creating an idyllic spot for outdoor entertaining or simply enjoying the garden during the warmer months. At the foot of the garden, a rear gate provides access to the rear, whilst the property also benefits from a detached garage featuring an electric roller-style door, power, lighting and a useful personnel door to the side. The property is connected to all mains services and is offered for sale with the benefit of freehold tenure. All in all, this is a wonderful and highly individual character home, combining the charm and proportions of a 1930s property with thoughtfully extended and genuinely versatile family accommodation. Its desirable Chester location, attractive gardens, generous parking and wealth of period features make this a particularly exciting opportunity – and one not to be missed.
