Set on Bretton Lane, this Victorian semi-detached house blends generous period proportions with a contemporary finish. High ceilings and large windows create a bright living room and separate dining room; the large modern kitchen with patio doors opens onto a low-maintenance rear garden. The oversized master bedroom and second double bedroom give comfortable sleeping space for a family or sharers.
Practical features include an external garage partly converted into a fully fitted home office — ideal for hybrid working — while the remaining garage space provides useful external storage. There is off-road parking and side access. The house is largely turnkey in presentation but retains scope to increase value: the layout could be reconfigured to create a third bedroom or extended upwards (subject to consents).
Be aware of material considerations: the property is an older solid-brick Victorian build (pre-1900) and likely lacks wall insulation; improving insulation and energy performance should be expected. There is a single family bathroom (four-piece) for two bedrooms. The local area has higher crime and significant deprivation indicators, and broadband speeds are average — factors to weigh alongside the excellent transport links to Chester, Manchester and North Wales.
Overall this freehold home suits first-time buyers and growing families looking for a spacious, characterful house with a modern kitchen and dedicated home office. The property offers immediate comfortable living with clear potential to add value through targeted upgrades.
