Description
Located in the very heart of Chester, tucked down a cobbled street less than 30 metres from the shops, bars and restaurant of the pedestrianised city centre, this is truly unique three bedroom home with a captivating history.
Aptly named "The Old House", the property is grade-II listed and is certainly one of the oldest residential buildings in the city, with Historic England describing it as "probably late medieval", with subsequent refurbishments in 1658 and 1980.
Today, the property offers over 1600 sq ft of charming and comfortable accommodation spread over four floors, with terrace garden and resident's on-street parking.
The Old House opens into a open-plan living space spread across the front of the ground floor. To the left side, exposed beams, brickwork and a feature log burner create a wonderful snug living space. To the right side, an open, flexible-use living area with wooden floor makes a fine office space or reading area. The kitchen/diner at the rear of the ground floor is spacious and homely, with a host of appliances, adjacent pantry, cloakroom and external door onto the courtyard garden. Steps from the living room lead to the cellar, providing useful storage space.
The first floor, unusually larger than the ground level due to the front overhang, comprises two large double bedrooms, two bathrooms (one en suite to the larger bedroom, with bath and separate shower) and a third smaller room, previously used as a dressing room but configurable to a tenant's needs. character features continue with exposed beams, original fireplaces and the exquisite ornate windows. The second floor is home to the third bedroom, built into the eaves.
Externally, the walled courtyard garden is South-facing, providing some rare outdoor space in the heart of the city, with ample room for a pleasant garden space, with a little imagination. There is no allocated parking, but resident's can apply for a permit for the surrounding roads, or at the multi-story carpark across the road.
Location
White Friars is an excellent location for easy access to all the amenities of Chester city centre. The city provides a superb array of shops and restaurants as well as other commercial services. Chester has a direct rail service to London Euston (about 2 hours).
