About this home

Nestled within the beautifully maintained four-and-a-half-acre grounds of Boughton Hall, Apartment 22 presents a rare opportunity to enjoy independent living in one of Chester's most sought-after retirement communities. Offered for sale with no onward chain, the apartment enjoys a highly convenient location, with local amenities including a nearby shopping parade and Heath Lane Medical Centre just a short distance away. Chester city centre, renowned for its historic charm, excellent shopping, dining, and transport connections, is less than a mile from the development.

Occupying a desirable ground-floor position in a peaceful, sun-filled corner of the village, this superb apartment enjoys attractive views across the formal gardens and is conveniently located close to the Main Hall. Beautifully presented throughout, the spacious two-bedroom home has been tastefully updated and meticulously maintained, offering a stylish and comfortable living environment.

At the heart of the village stands the magnificent 17th-century Boughton Hall, a sympathetically restored landmark rich in character and period features. Residents enjoy access to an exceptional range of facilities, including a welcoming lounge and bar, restaurant, library, hair and beauty salon, gymnasium, and hobbies room, providing the perfect setting for both relaxation and social engagement.

The apartment opens into a bright and welcoming entrance hall, complete with full-height fitted storage cupboards ideal for coats, footwear, and everyday essentials. Opposite the entrance is a practical cloakroom, offering additional fitted cabinetry and shelving, together with the hot water tank and electrical consumer unit.

The generously proportioned living and dining room is flooded with natural light from dual-aspect windows and benefits from French doors opening onto a private patio and the beautifully landscaped gardens beyond, creating an ideal space for both entertaining and quiet enjoyment.

The recently installed John Lewis kitchen has been thoughtfully designed and finished to a high standard, featuring elegant natural stone worktops and a range of integrated appliances, including an oven, hob, extractor hood, dishwasher, and washer-dryer.

The principal bedroom provides a luxurious retreat, complete with contemporary floor-to-ceiling fitted wardrobes and a stylish en-suite shower room featuring a walk-in shower and quality Roca sanitaryware. The second bedroom is equally well-proportioned and enjoys dual-aspect windows that create a bright and inviting atmosphere.

The main bathroom is fitted with a full-size bath and overhead mixer shower, complemented by a large mirrored storage cabinet. For added convenience, all carpets, curtains, blinds, and light fittings are included in the sale, allowing the new owner to move straight in and enjoy.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional apartment within one of Chester's most prestigious retirement villages. Early viewing is highly recommended.
