Chester House is an exceptional detached Victorian family house; with a handsome façade built of local stone and enjoying a south-facing garden, one of the largest in the area, stretching out to the rear.
Over the past ten years the current owners have lovingly restored, refurbished and improved the house creating a sensational family home laid out over three floors of generous accommodation.
From the tarmac front drive with off-street parking for several vehicles there is a pretty front garden, laid mostly to lawn with the house set-back comfortably from the road creating a high degree of privacy.
From the top of the drive a large wooden front door with stained glass detailing above opens up into the wide and welcoming entrance hall, complete with retained lattice plasterwork a delightful turned balustrade staircase leading up to the first floor.
To the front there are a two beautiful reception rooms, separated by a pair of wooden French doors allowing the owners to create a sensational entertaining space, when opened, or to close the rooms off for a comfortable less formal layout. The drawing room has a light-filled triple sash bay window with a charming marble fireplace and open hearth below; whilst the dining room has twin sash with working shutters widows overlooking the front garden below.
To the rear of the hall is a lovely family snug with a marble fire surround and working coal effect gas fire below. This room opens out via a pair of double glazed |French doors into the garden and catches much of the day's sun from its sunny south facing orientation.
Adjacent to the family room (with the potential to “open up”) is the impressive family kitchen with a generous granite topped central island and extended wooden topped breakfast bar. Either side of the island is further floor and wall mounted storage and granite work surfaces, with a 1 ½ bowl sink overlooking the rear garden. Integrated appliances include a full heigh fridge, dish washer and suite of BOSCH wall mounted ovens and an integrated microwave-combi.
From the kitchen there is access out into the sun-drenched glazed conservatory with a further set of double glazed French doors leading out into the garden; really bringing the outside in and creating a sociable indoor / outdoor lifestyle.
Running to the side of the house is a neat inner lobby with access to a generously appointed utility room, a separate cloakroom and a further store rom with access out into the garden.
From the inner lobby stairs lead down to an impressive lower ground floor conversion, beautifully tanked by the current owners. At present, this is dressed as the cinema / games room but could repurpose to suit a new owner's needs. In addition, there is a further cloakroom, storeroom and comms / boiler room.
Upstairs the house accommodates five superb double bedrooms (with bedroom five on the half landing and bedroom four above) complete with a superb master suite complete with it's own walk-in dressing room and en-suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms share a well-appointed family bath and shower room.
Accessed from Bedroom four is a crawl space into a large loft area; part boarded with further development potential subject to needs and consent.
Outside:
Quite simply, Chester House enjoys one of the largest private gardens in Redland. South facing and (when shining) drenched in sun it provides space for fun, entertainment and enjoyment all-year around.
The current owners have loosely dressed the space with a paved dining terrace immediately to the rear of the house and the rest given over to lawn, mature borders, mature trees and shrubs and an exceptional amount of storage. Dotted around the perimeter are a number of timber sheds, with a newer more modern fully insulated cabin settled discreetly to the end of the garden. This is wired to the mains electricity, with running water and access to the property's Wi-Fi. A great garden / home office space.
In addition, the current owners have installed an above ground swimming pool complete with diving / sun bathing terrace ready to pull-back into action over the coming summer months.
To the side of the house is a secure storage area (perfect for bins and bikes) with two sets of secure wooden doors opening out into the driveway.
