Lynton Place, Chester, CH4

Some homes are simply houses. Others have been lived in, loved, and cared for with genuine pride over many years — and 16 Lynton Place is very much one of those. A three-bedroom semi-detached property sitting quietly at the head of one of Broughton’s most peaceful cul-de-sacs, it has been a cherished family home and it shows: in the care taken with every room, in the quality of what’s been invested over the years, in the garden that has been tended with real affection.

For the right buyer — someone ready to bring their own personality and taste to a home with excellent bones — the opportunity here is a significant one. The costly groundwork is already done: quality wood-effect UPVC double glazing with leaded diamond-pattern detail to the front elevation, an exemplary kitchen with granite worktops, well-fitted shower room, detached garage, and an established rear garden with a generous sun terrace. The interior styling reflects years of careful, loving occupation; a sympathetic refresh will reveal a home of real warmth and character in one of the most sought-after positions the village has to offer.

SITUATION & LOCATION

The location is, quite simply, the making of this property. Lynton Place is a quiet, self-contained cul-de-sac of similar semi-detached homes — the kind of road where neighbours know each other, where the only traffic is the people who live there, and where a genuine sense of community has built up over the years. Number 16 sits at the head of the close, enjoying the widest aspect and the greatest sense of privacy. It is precisely the sort of address that, once found, people are reluctant to leave.

Broughton Shopping Park is moments away, providing a Tesco Extra, M&S Food, Next, Boots, Primark and a broad range of high-street retailers alongside a Cineworld IMAX cinema and restaurants including Nando’s, Pizza Express, and Prezzo — North Wales’s most-visited retail destination with over 10 million visitors a year.

Chester city centre, with its Roman heritage, independent shops, and acclaimed restaurant scene, is approximately four miles east and readily accessible via the A55 North Wales Expressway — a dual carriageway that also provides swift onward links to Wrexham, Deeside, and the national motorway network.

For families, Broughton Primary School — rated Excellent by ESTYN across all areas — is within the village itself. Hawarden High School and St David’s High School, Saltney, provide well-regarded secondary options close by.
