Set within Chester’s historic walls and a short walk from the River Dee, this spacious three-bedroom freehold blends original period details with contemporary fittings. The home offers unusually large living space (approx. 2,218 sq ft), high ceilings, a light-filled modern kitchen with skylight, and versatile reception rooms that can adapt to family life or a fourth bedroom/office. A large, dry cellar and a wrap-around terrace extend usable space, while secure underground garage parking for two cars is a rare city-centre benefit.
The interior is presented to a high standard throughout, with solid oak worktops, a central island, and character features including original fireplaces and two-over-two sash windows. The layout provides flexible open-plan or closed living via grand double doors, and the upper floors deliver three generous double bedrooms served by two bathrooms plus a separate WC.
Important practical notes: the property sits in an area with very high recorded crime and higher levels of local deprivation; this may affect insurance and perceptions. Council tax is described as expensive. Broadband speeds are average and glazing appears to pre-date 2002. Despite these considerations, the combination of central position, size, parking and period character creates strong long-term appeal for a family or investor seeking a prominent city-centre residence with scope to tailor rooms to changing needs.
