Summary - 16A SANDY LANE CHESTER CH3 5UL
4 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Spacious family home with private mooring and approved extension plans.
Over 5,300 sq ft across four floors and approximately 13 rooms
A distinguished Victorian semi-detached home with exceptional scale and riverside appeal, Earls Eye House offers over 5,300 sq ft across four floors — ideal for families seeking generous living and flexible space. Original period details such as high ceilings, cornices, sash windows and bay windows combine with modern comforts including underfloor heating and a mains-gas boiler.
The house sits on a large plot with landscaped terraces and private mooring on the River Dee, delivering rare direct water access in the city. The principal reception rooms and conservatory maximise river views; the 27-foot family room on the first floor is a striking showpiece. Outside, the garden and terraces provide childcare-friendly outdoor space and entertaining potential.
A substantial lower-ground level is currently unfinished, offering clear scope for a self-contained flat, home gym, cinema or studio — and planning permission is already approved for a single-storey rear extension, replacement orangery and side extension (ref: 25/01480/FUL). These permissions make the property a compelling prospect for buyers who want to reconfigure and add value.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property was built c.1850 and, despite its C EPC rating, will benefit from targeted upgrading in places. There is a medium flood risk due to riverside location and a large, partly unfinished lower-ground floor which will need completion. Overall, this is a rare family home that balances historic character, scale and riverside living with clear renovation and flood-mitigation priorities.
