About this home
King Street is one of Chester's most recognisable addresses, a cobbled Georgian street within the city walls and moments from the best of the city. Number 17 is a four storey townhouse that makes the most of that position, full of period character, with four well proportioned double bedrooms across its floors. It is available to rent immediately.
The Rows, with their independent restaurants, galleries and boutique shops, are steps from the front door. The cathedral and Roman amphitheatre are a short walk away. Chester railway station, with direct trains to Manchester, Liverpool and London Euston, is a few minutes on foot, and the M56 and M53 are close for anyone travelling by road.
The accommodation
The entrance hall leads into a home arranged across four generous floors. At ground level, a front facing reception room works comfortably as a lounge, reading room or study.
To the rear, the ground floor opens into a substantial open plan kitchen and dining room. Exposed brick walls give the space warmth and character, alongside a well fitted kitchen with a range cooker, integrated appliances and plenty of storage. There is easily room for a full dining table, so it suits both entertaining and everyday living. A ground floor WC completes this level.
The first floor has two large double bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes, good ceiling heights and pleasant views over the rooftops and cobbles of King Street.
The second floor has a third double bedroom and a well appointed family bathroom, fitted with twin basins, a separate shower and a freestanding bath.
The top floor is a fourth double bedroom, set apart from the rest of the house and equally suited as a main bedroom, guest room or home office.
Outside
To the rear is a private courtyard patio, a sheltered outdoor space that is a real rarity for a city centre home of this kind. An outbuilding gives useful extra storage, and resident permit parking is available on King Street.
In short
17 King Street offers period character, generous space and an exceptional central location, with everything Chester has to offer on the doorstep. Available now on an unfurnished basis, it will suit tenants looking for a characterful home in the heart of the city.
