About this home

The property is advertised at the full 100% market value, however eligible purchasers may have the opportunity to purchase a smaller percentage share, reducing the initial amount required to buy the property. Buyers can then potentially purchase additional shares in the future through a process known as staircasing, subject to the terms of the shared ownership lease and housing provider.

This provides buyers with the flexibility to purchase a share that is affordable for them initially, while retaining the potential to increase their ownership over time. A beautifully presented and deceptively spacious four-bedroom detached family home, occupying a generous corner plot within one of Chester's most sought-after residential locations. Offering flexible accommodation extending to approximately 1,258 sq. ft., this impressive home benefits from a ground floor bedroom, modern kitchen, stunning mature gardens and ample off-road parking.

Situated within the ever-popular Handbridge area, this attractive detached residence provides versatile accommodation ideal for growing families, downsizers seeking ground floor living or those looking for additional work-from-home space.

The accommodation briefly comprises a welcoming entrance porch leading into a central hallway, a bright and spacious dual-aspect living room, a separate dining room with French doors opening onto the rear garden and a modern fitted kitchen enjoying pleasant views over the garden. Further ground floor accommodation includes a useful utility room, contemporary shower room and a versatile fourth bedroom, perfect as guest accommodation, a home office or additional reception room.

To the first floor, the property offers three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a generous principal bedroom benefitting from a dedicated dressing room, alongside a modern family bathroom.

Externally, the property enjoys a superb corner plot with beautifully maintained gardens wrapping around the home. The rear garden offers a high degree of privacy with mature trees, established planting and a large patio area ideal for entertaining and outdoor dining. To the front, a driveway provides off-road parking for multiple vehicles.

Handbridge remains one of Chester's most desirable residential areas, offering excellent access to Chester city centre, highly regarded schooling, the River Dee, Chester Business Park and a wide range of local amenities.

Combining flexible living accommodation, generous gardens and a prime location, this is a fantastic opportunity to acquire a substantial detached family home in a highly sought-after setting.
