This bay-fronted Victorian terrace on the edge of Chester city centre offers generous accommodation across three floors — six bedrooms, three reception rooms and a well-equipped kitchen. Period details including high ceilings, bay windows, fireplaces and exposed timber floors give the house strong character and family appeal. The walled rear garden with raised balcony and mature shrubs provides a private outdoor space close to the city.
The property suits families wanting space, storage and easy access to city amenities and good local schools. A largely undeveloped basement creates clear potential to increase living space or add a self-contained unit, subject to consents. The layout includes practical features such as a downstairs WC, cellar access and useful undercover garden storage.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks: there is only one main bathroom, the property currently has an EPC rating of D, and the original solid brick walls are assumed to have no insulation. The attic bedroom is small with limited natural light. These factors present renovation and energy-efficiency upgrade opportunities for long-term savings and value uplift.
No onward chain and freehold tenure simplify sale completion. Overall, this is a character-rich townhouse for a family prepared to invest in targeted modernisation to improve comfort and efficiency while enjoying a prime city-edge location.
