IS SOUTH VIEW YOUR NEXT HOME? NO ONWARD CHAIN: Tucked away in a secluded position and accessed by a private pathway, yet at the heart of this buzzing suburb of Chester, this historic blue-plaque home (birthplace of writer and biographer L. T. C. Rolt) has to be viewed to be fully appreciated.

It is the stunning façade to this home with painted stone lintels over the arched transom ground floor window and pointed-arch first floor window and stone banding to the first floor that creates an instant first impression of this stand-out character home. The private approach and low-maintenance front garden to this home is demonstrated by the owners' use as a pleasant outside seating area; a great space to enjoy your morning or afternoon coffee.

The wealth of period features start from the moment you enter this charming home with an original 'Minton' tiled floor, enticing you to explore every inch of this characterful property.

The open-plan lounge to dining room provides an excellent space for formal entertaining; tall-ceilings, feature fireplace and timber flooring enhance the character and offer a bright space with the three-pane arched transom window ensuring plenty of natural light.

Moving through to the breakfast kitchen where you will find an interesting adaption of a historic feature in the breakfast seating area with a cocktail-style bar utilising the Georgian sash window to the rear lobby.

Beyond is a fully fitted white shaker-style kitchen with timber worktops over and breakfast bar, Belfast-style sink and drainer. Complemented with a range of brushed stainless-steel appliances including range cooker with copper backsplash and extractor hood over, the kitchen is finished with attractive ceramic tiled flooring which is both aesthetically pleasing and easy to maintain.

The rear sun room is a bright and useful space with storage and allows seamless transition to the outside courtyard-style garden.

Moving upstairs via the delightful timber turning staircase atypical of a period home you will find two generous double bedrooms and an oversized luxury bathroom, all with tall ceilings enhancing the feeling of space.

The master bedroom is a bright haven of tranquillity and the perfect place to unwind. This large double bedroom has plenty of fitted storage with further space for freestanding units and the feature window ensures plenty of natural light.

The luxury bathroom fitted in the Georgian-style features a centrally located deep panelled bath with halo shower ring, tiled splashback and integrated thermostatic shower. The suite is finished with a pedestal wash hand basin and w/c. Having further space for storage and groove wainscoting throughout mirrored onto the panelling of the bath, this is a characterful yet calm space to unwind.

The second bedroom, currently in use as large home office with twin workstations, also features a large casement window to the rear aspect offering pleasant views over the courtyard gardens.

And what a courtyard garden! This private walled outdoor space is cleverly landscaped with a balance of stone shingle and timber decking creating an excellent outside entertainment space. With further external brick outbuildings and a covered gazebo adjacent to the rear sun room; this private space offers the discerning buyer a quiet oasis on the fringe of the busy Chester City Centre.

Overall we think you will be amazed at the depth of this rare blue-plaque home which offers luxurious and tranquil living in a private setting yet within the convenience of a desirable Chester suburb location. The range of character features and accommodation contained within can only be fully appreciated by an internal viewing which is essential to appreciate this unique property.  

LOCATION - HANDBRIDGE Your new home could be located in what might be Chester's best suburb, which is just across the old River Dee Bridge from Chester City Centre. Handbridge has its own range of local amenities including a variety of shops, pubs, restaurants, doctors' surgery, filling station, good schools and colleges. The University is also within walking distance.

For summer evening and daytime walks, jogging, exercising the dog or just relaxing - maybe a picnic - there is plenty of space on the picturesque river banks at Handbridge and much more on the banks of the meadows - only a 5-minute walk past the playing fields opposite.

There is easy access to Chester Business Park, Chester and Bache railway stations and the main road and motorway networks. A period home here really is a rarity and especially at this price.
