Dingle Bank, Chester, Cheshire, CH4

A spacious family house in a premium residential location.

Description

Sitting in a highly sought-after conservation area in Chester’s most desirable residential neighbourhood, 6 Dingle Bank was constructed in the late sixties and has been altered and extended over the years. The current owners added an extension in2013 and 2015 over an existing ground floor area to the front and rear and made internal alterations to the layout (13/00165/FUL and 15/03821/FUL) creating a wonderful open-plan living area, superb principal bedroom suite, ground floor guest bedroom with en suite shower room and creation of a utility/laundry room. The alterations have really enhanced the property making it more suitable for modern family life. The current owners installed solar panels in 2024 with battery storage system (under the Cheshire West and Chester “Solar Together” scheme) for energy efficiency.

Approached from a private road and set well back behind double gates, the front of the house is approached over a gravel driveway providing parking for a number of vehicles.
Entrance into the property is through a spacious vestibule which opens through to the reception hall. To one side of the hallway is an attractive sitting room with glazed doors to match the hallway, bay window with views to the front garden and feature gas fire. To the end of the hallway is access through to the open-plan kitchen/dining/living room, this is a fantastically bright area and the owners have designed it to encapsulate the lovely views of the garden and the woodland beyond. The Wren Affinity Plus kitchen was added in 2020 and has a full range of wall and base units, storage drawers and Bosch integrated appliances to include hob, extractor, dishwasher, fridge/freezer and microwave/air fryer. The work surfaces are quartz and there is a matching breakfast bar. Beyond the kitchen and breakfast area is a seating and dining area and this is a lovely space to enjoy the fantastic views of the garden beyond. A really appealing feature of the house is that it has a real indoor/outdoor feel creating a very peaceful ambiance. For the winter months there is a stylish log burner in this space. To the rear of the open-plan area is a further living room with patio doors out to the garden. Off the dining/seating area is a guest bedroom (Bedroom 5) with en suite shower room. The utility room has a range of wall and base units, sink and plumbing for a washer/dryer, there is also access through into the garage from here. The garage is primarily used for storage.
