Greenwood Avenue, Chester, CH4 7HH

Overlooking an attractive tree-lined green in the heart of Handbridge, Greenwood Avenue is a traditional three-bedroom semi-detached home offering a wonderful opportunity for modernisation. With two reception rooms, generous driveway parking and a south-westerly facing garden, the property enjoys a particularly desirable position within walking distance of Chester city centre and is offered for sale with no onward chain. Set back from the road behind a mature front garden, the property enjoys lovely open views across the green, creating a peaceful setting rarely found so close to the city. Double gates open onto a block-paved driveway providing ample off-road parking and access to a substantial timber garage and workshop. The entrance hall has been extended to provide additional space, with a glazed entrance door and window allowing plenty of natural light. This improvement has also created a convenient ground-floor shower room, fitted with a modern white suite and electric shower. A useful understairs cupboard provides further storage. To the front, the dining room enjoys delightful views over the green and offers excellent flexibility as a separate sitting room or snug. Original internal doors and period detailing retain much of the property’s traditional character. The main living room is positioned at the rear, overlooking the garden. A feature gas fireplace creates a focal point, while sliding patio doors provide direct access outside. The room offers comfortable proportions and potential for further improvement or extension. The kitchen features a range of fitted beech-effect units, a gas hob, electric oven and plumbing for a washing machine. Original quarry tiled flooring adds character, complemented by a distinctive solid timber dresser. A side door provides convenient access to the driveway and rear garden. Outside, the south-westerly facing garden enjoys a pleasant degree of privacy and afternoon sunshine. A paved patio provides space for outdoor seating, with a lawn and mature tree beyond. The generous plot also offers potential for landscaping or extending the accommodation, subject to the necessary permissions. Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms, including two spacious doubles and a comfortable single.
