St. Georges Crescent, Chester, Cheshire, CH4

A detached family house in sought-after Queen's Park with large garden.

Description

Sitting on land that once formed part of the Grosvenor Estate nursery, the current owners have lived at the property for over forty years. Formally a dormer bungalow, the owners added a first floor giving them extra bedrooms and an additional bathroom.

The house is a much loved family home and it has been well maintained. This is a fantastic opportunity to update, improve and subject to the relevant planning permissions extend.

The front door opens into an entrance hall around which the ground floor accommodation is arranged. To the rear of the house is a spacious living room with patio doors leading out to the garden. This is a wonderfully bright room with lots of glass and designed to take full advantage of the lovely aspect to the rear. Next to the living room is a dining room again with views of the garden and it might be possible to join the living and dining rooms to create a really fantastic open-plan living space. At the front of the property is a well-appointed kitchen, featuring a comprehensive range of wall and base units with integrated storage drawers. The kitchen is equipped with integrated appliances, including an oven, dishwasher, washing machine, fridge freezer, gas hob, and microwave. A convenient breakfast bar provides additional seating and workspace. A glazed door offers access from the kitchen to the side of the property. Positioned to the right of the hallway at the front of the property, Bedroom Three enjoys views over the front garden. This room originally served as the bedroom when the property was configured as a bungalow. A shower room with WC completes the accommodation on the ground floor.

On the first floor there are three bedrooms (bedroom four is currently used as a study) and a family bathroom.

The well established rear garden is a real delight with a series of mature shrubs, trees and plants providing year round colour and contrast. There is also a vegetable patch, greenhouse and fruit trees. The lawned area is ideal for young children to play. There is access into the garage from the garden and it is currently primarily used for storage. The front garden is also well established and provides screening and privacy for the front of the house. The gated driveway has parking for two or three cars depending on vehicle size.
