Set on elevated Boughton with views toward the River Dee and Chester Meadows, this Grade II-listed Georgian town house offers generous period proportions across five bedrooms and three bathrooms. High ceilings, original sash windows and fireplaces give immediate character, while large reception rooms and a contemporary kitchen provide practical family living. Secure gated parking for two cars and a small enclosed courtyard garden add everyday convenience close to the city centre.
The house dates to c.1812 and retains many original features but its listed status will restrict alterations and may add to maintenance costs. Solid brick walls (likely uninsulated) and older construction mean heating is via a mains-gas boiler and radiators; the property will benefit from targeted upgrading and ongoing conservation-sensitive upkeep.
Practical considerations: there is useful basement storage and laundry space but plot size is small and outdoor space is courtyard-style rather than a large garden. Broadband speeds are reported slow, and the immediate area records above-average crime statistics — factors to weigh for home-working or families prioritising outdoor play and high-speed internet.
This home will suit buyers seeking period character, proximity to Chester’s schools and amenities, and river views — particularly those prepared to manage listed-building responsibilities and invest in energy and connectivity improvements to modernise comfort and efficiency.
