3 Bed Terraced House For Sale King Street, Chester, CH1

This remarkable Georgian townhouse, brimming with character and charm, is situated on arguably one of Chester's most desirable cobbled streets and is attractively priced to reflect the need for restoration and updating. This home is perfect for a new owner to put their personal stamp on it and enjoy the abundance of original features within.

The spacious property is spread over four floors. Entering through the front door, you are greeted by a welcoming high-ceilinged hallway with what is thought to be the original Georgian staircase. A further staircase leads down to a cellar, which has the potential to be converted or further developed into additional living space, a home office, or a gym. There is a sitting room with an exposed brick fireplace, which could also be used as a dining room or a fourth bedroom, and a kitchen/breakfast room featuring a gas-fired Aga, solid wood units, granite worktops, and a limestone tiled floor.

Leading up to the first floor, a well-proportioned main sitting room overlooks King Street through a sizable sash window, and a carved wood surround fireplace adds character to the room. To the rear, a spacious bedroom overlooks the city walls, and a wet room with a toilet and handbasin is off the landing.

The top floor offers a further two double bedrooms, one with views over the city walls, and a main bathroom with bath/shower and airing cupboard/storage. Outside, there is an attractive rear garden ideal for al fresco dining, plus parking spaces on either side of the gateway.

Situated within the Roman city walls right in the historic heart of the city centre, the location of this property is truly exceptional. Turn left along the cobbled street directly onto Upper Northgate Street, and you will find an array of independent eateries, wine bars, a speciality cheese shop, and the local Post Office. A 2-minute walk will bring you to Storyhouse, a fabulous creative cultural space which incorporates the library, independent cinema, restaurant, and theatres, attracting many national touring productions.
