An exceptional property. Luxury City-centre house with superb technology and self-contained annexe. Gardener included.

Location

There are few properties of this size and specification located so centrally in Chester. All the amenities that the city has to offer including excellent shops, fine dining and the emblematic River Dee are within walking distance - the city centre is less than half a mile/under a 10 minute walk (Google Maps).

Total Fitness gym with swimming pool is across the road, while Northgate ponds - a popular local park - and the Countess of Chester country park are 0.5 and 1 miles away respectively. The iconic Chester racecourse is under a mile away.

A key attraction of Chester is the quality of education and this particular location is attractive to those with children schooled at King’s and Queen’s both of which are easily accessible from the property.

Chester has direct access to the motorway network, linking to Manchester, Liverpool and their airports and to the North Wales coast. Chester train station, with direct trains to London taking as little as 2 hours 8 minutes, is 0.8 miles away.

Description

One of the finest rental properties in the region, this is an exquisite, fully modernised period home with self contained annexe, ideally located in a conservation area in the heart of Chester. Beautifully finished, with incredible attention to detail, this fabulous home offers versatile living accommodation, lovely gardens, impressive technology and excellent security.

Double-fronted, set back from the main road behind electric gates, hedge and railings, with stylish new four-car driveway, windows and roof, the property creates a striking first impression, which continues inside.

The front door, with video doorbell and keypad access, opens into the vestibule and entrance hallway with feature chandeliers and floor tiling. To the left; a spacious bay-fronted reception room with plantation shutters and open fire - an ideal formal living room, though flexible depending on a family's requirements. To the right; a bright, well-equipped study, with living flame fire and bay window. Through the study is a large conservatory with stained glass windows, living flame fire and front access.

At the rear of the ground floor, beyond the spacious utility room, side porch and downstairs W.C., is the heart of the house: the wonderful open plan living space, overlooking and opening onto the landscaped gardens. This space comprises a luxury kitchen and island with a range of quality appliances; a family room/playroom with living flame fire and a stunning triple-aspect living/dining area extending out into the garden, with three sets of bi-fold doors opening onto the patio, creating a superb inside/outside space.

Upstairs are the bedrooms and bathrooms: five double rooms and four bath/shower rooms, all either en suite or Jack and Jill. The principle bedroom is twin aspect and has impressive built-in storage and a hidden en suite shower room. The quality of fixtures, fittings and finish, as throughout the property, is superb.

The private, enclosed landscaped garden is well designed to complement the house, with attractive lawn and patio areas along with seating and topiary. A regular gardener is included in the rental figure, though the gardens are also self- maintained via an automatic irrigation system.

At the bottom of the garden is the self-contained annexe, which is a charming property in it's own right. Opening into the high-specification kitchen, there are stairs up to an expansive living/bedroom area with feature beams and skylight windows, and with a large en suite bathroom beyond. It is ideal accommodation for guests, staff or older children.

There are numerous additional outbuildings and structures dotted about the garden. There are two garages, two workshops, a gardeners shed, storage room, underground wine cellar, and a converted outbuilding with glass lantern roof, which has versatile use, but was previously used as a gym.

The property has a wide range of technological and security features, including:

- extensive CCTV
- 2.5 tonne Safe
- alarm
- front and rear electric gates
- keyless doors (keypad controlled)
- phone/tablet controlled under-floor heating
- backup power supply with 20kva generator
