Spacious three-bed semi with south-west garden and strong school links, ideal for renovation..
Three bedrooms with original period features throughout
Set on desirable Knowsley Road in Hoole, this three-bedroom semi-detached home offers classic period character and substantial scope to create a spacious family residence. The property retains high ceilings, bay windows, original wood block flooring and stained glass, while providing practical modern comforts including gas central heating and mostly double glazing installed after 2002.
The layout is traditional and well-proportioned: a bay-front living room, a rear dining room/second reception, galley kitchen, pantry and useful under-stairs storage on the ground floor, with three bedrooms, a separate WC and a bathroom upstairs. Outside there is a detached garage, pebbled driveway and a generous south-west facing garden that catches afternoon sun — ideal for family noise, play or future extension (subject to consents).
This is a clear renovation project. The house needs modernisation throughout — cosmetic updating and systems checks are likely — so buyers should budget for works. The property is freehold, sits in a very low-crime, affluent area with excellent mobile and broadband, and benefits from strong local schools, nearby green spaces and good transport links to Chester station and the M53/A55.
For families seeking long-term value in one of Chester’s most requested neighbourhoods, this house presents a rare canvas: retain and enhance the period features or reconfigure the layout to suit contemporary family life. The current condition offers scope to add value, but requires a buyer prepared for a renovation programme.
