Summary - The Mullins, Sandy Lane CH3 5UL
7 bed 3 bath Semi-Detached
South-west gardens, river access and generous family space in conservation area.
Seven bedrooms across four storeys — substantial family accommodation
This late-Victorian four-storey semi-detached house occupies a large elevated plot at the top end of Sandy Lane, just over a mile from Chester city centre. Seven bedrooms, extensive full-height basement and a double garage make it well suited to a large family or buyers seeking flexible accommodation. The property sits in a conservation area and benefits from sweeping south-west facing tiered gardens and outstanding river views.
The home retains strong period character — high ceilings, traditional brickwork and chimneys — but shows clear signs that updating is needed. Heating is partial gas central heating with boiler and underfloor heating in places, and the property is offered with an EPC rating of D. There is genuine potential to modernise services and internal layouts to create a comfortable, contemporary family home while preserving the period features.
External features are a major draw: a boat house, waterfront position, and private gardens that enjoy afternoon sun. Buyers should note the upper floor of the boat house is currently unsafe for entry and external areas should be approached with care. The site also has a medium flooding risk which may affect insurance and riverside maintenance considerations.
This sale represents an opportunity to acquire a substantial, characterful riverside house with scope for refurbishment and value-add. The size, plot and location are rare within this conservation setting, but practical works — structural, safety and modernisation — will be needed to unlock its full potential.
